New Student Registration
Just moved into the area? Welcome to Shakerag! Please come visit us as soon as possible to register your child - our August staffing depends on our accurate enrollment. See the Parents tab above
We also have a few spots remaining for our 2014-2015 PreK classes. You must live in the Shakerag attendance zone to be eligible. If interested, bring your child's original Birth Certificate, your ID and 2 proofs of residency to Shakerag between 7:00 and 3:00.

Georgia Assessments
Our state is transitioning to using a Student Growth Model (SGM) to assess student achievement. This model uses standardized test data to compare student progress over time to other students of similar academic ability. Currently, the SGM is calculated for elementary schools using the CRCT; in the future the SGM will use the new statewide test (Georgia Milestones) to calculate each students' growth percentile.

Visiting or Volunteering?
All visitors are required to sign in at our front desk and wear the appropriate badge at all times while at Shakerag. Parents dropping off their child or staying for lunch must sign in and wear our blue Visitor badge. All regular volunteers (PTA Board, Room Coordinators, PALS helpers, Media Center helpers, etc.) that are here on a routine basis should wear an orange Volunteer badge after completing the mandatory Volunteer and Child Abuse requirements (see below).
