Sharing is Caring!
To: Parents/Guardians The Sharing is Caring Christmas Club is a community project for children living in Whitfield County/Dalton City designed to provide Christmas for needy children who due to financial reasons, would not otherwise get any gifts. Our community has joined together to provide education and resources to address different topics that will help families throughout the year and allow parents to choose and give gifts to their children as well as celebrate Christmas in their own way. Here’s how it works: ● One parent/guardian from each family(you must have custody of the children you are applying for) must choose and attend three Christmas Club Meetings on three different topics. (see attached list) ● At the end of each meeting you will receive a certificate. In order to receive a certificate, you must be at the meeting within 5 minutes of the start time. No late arrivals will receive a certificate. ● Once you have three certificates, you will have a time to go to the Salvation Army between Wednesday, November 6 and Friday, November 8 to complete an application. Remember, you must bring your 3 certificates and identification in order to complete the application. ● You will also need to bring verification of your income, such as a pay stub, letter from your employer, or food stamps, Medicaid or Social Security award letter. In order to be able to shop your income must be below the Federal Income Poverty Guidelines (see attached chart) ● At that time you will be given the date and time to come and shop at the Community Christmas Store at the North Georgia Fairgrounds. ● Families will only be allowed to apply for the community Christmas Store 5 times in their lifetime. For low cost transportation to some meetings: ● Whitfield Transportation (706-278-3606) Monday- Friday 8:30-4:30. Must call 4 days in advance. If you live in or move to a different county: ● You will need to check with the local school or churches to get information on Christmas help in your new county. * If you would like to contribute financially to the cause- please mail your donation to “Sharing is Caring Christmas Fund” Attn: Jackie Taylor 405 School Street Dalton, GA 30720 Check should be made out to the “Whitfield Family Connections” For: Sharing is Caring Christmas Fund For volunteering opportunities: WEBSITE: http://tinyurl.com/daltoncommchristmas EMAIL: sharingiscaringchristmas@gmail.com ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para: Padres/Tutores El Club Navideño “Sharing is Caring” (Compartir es demostrar solidaridad), es un proyecto comunitario para niños que viven en el condado de Whitfield/la ciudad de Dalton, diseñado con el fin de proveer Navidad a niños necesitados que por razones financieras, no recibirían ningún regalo. Nuestra comunidad se ha unido para proveer educación y recursos para hacer frente a diferentes temas que ayudarán a las familias durante del año y permitirán que los padres escojan y obsequien regalos a sus hijos, así como también que celebren la Navidad a su manera. Así es cómo funciona: Un padre/tutor de cada familia (Ud. tiene que tener custodia de los niños por los cuales está aplicando) debe elegir y asistir a tres Reuniones del Club Navideño en tres temas diferentes. (vea la lista adjunta) ● Al final de cada sesión usted recibirá un certificado. Para poder recibir un certificado, usted no puede llegar después de los 5 minutos de la hora de inicio. Si llega tarde, no recibirá el certificado. ● Una vez que tenga tres certificados, se le indicará a qué hora usted puede ir al “Salvation Army” miercoles, 6 de noviembre al viernes, 8 de noviembre para llenar una aplicación. Recuerde, usted debe traer sus certificados e identificación para poder completar la solicitud. ● Además debe traer una verificación de sus ingresos, como por ejemplo una boleta de pago, una carta de su empleador, o una carta que indica que usted recibe cupones de comida, Medicaid o seguro social. Para poder recibir ayuda, sus ingresos tienen que ser menores que los requisitos de ingresos federales. (vea el gráfico adjunto) ● En ese momento, se le dará la fecha y hora para que venga a elegir los artículos en la Tienda Navideña Comunitaria que se encuentra en los terrenos de la Feria del Norte de Georgia (North Georgia Fairgrounds). ● Las familias podrán recibir ayuda solamente 5 veces en sus vidas. Para transporte de bajo costo para algunas reuniones: ● Transportación de Whitfield (706-278-3606), lunes a viernes de 8:30 a 4:30. Tiene que llamar 4 días antes.

Please click the link above to view the Middle School Testing Calendar. The purposes of the Georgia Student Assessment Program are to: measure student achievement of the state mandated curriculum, identify students failing to achieve mastery of content, provide teachers with diagnostic information, and assist school systems in identifying strengths and weaknesses in order to establish priorities in planning educational programs.
The Governor’s Office of Student Achievement (GOSA) prepares Georgia’s State, Local, and School Annual Report Cards. The Annual Report Cards contain test results as well as other information relevant to school performance toward the goals of student achievement and school completion. The Report Card is in compliance with both state and federal laws with respect to reporting requirements. GOSA partners with the Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) to produce the K-12 Public Schools Reports since much of the data comes from GaDOE.
The Georgia Parent Survey contains 24 questions. For parents who do not have access to the Internet, school administrators will allow parents to complete the Georgia Parent Survey at school. All parents are encouraged to participate in the survey, as the data will be used as part of the calculation of the School Climate Star Rating. Survey responses are anonymous and will be submitted directly to the Georgia Department of Education for analysis. The Georgia Parent Survey is also available in Spanish.
Every year, one student from each of our five middle schools is selected as a REACH (Realizing Educational Achievement Can Happen) Scholar. These scholars, upon completion of the program, will receive up to a $10,000 ($2,500/year) scholarship for postsecondary education... Read more at the link above.
