Stay tuned for the exciting weeks ahead as we continue to celebrate Hispanic heritage in style! 🎶🌍 #HispanicHeritageMonth #EaglesCelebrate #DanceAndCulture #ClassicCityPride

Hey Classic City Family! 🎉 Today is our SWAP Day—students are dressing like teachers, and teachers are dressing like students! It's been so much fun this morning seeing everyone participate. We’re also excited to have our first Attendance Pizza Party 🍕 to celebrate a full month of school and outstanding student attendance! In addition, we have some special guests in the building today. YouthForce will be here to introduce new Irobots and share how they can help our students. Because of this, there will be no study hall today. It’s going to be a busy, fun-filled day at Classic City High School! 🎓✨ #SWAPDay #AttendanceMatters #PizzaParty #YouthForce #ClassicCityPride

Hey Classic City High School students and families! We want to remind you just how important it is to be in school every day. Did you know that missing just two day can set a student back as much as 20 days of learning? That’s why it’s so important to come to school daily and take full advantage of student holidays for any time off you need. Let’s work together to stay on track and make every day count! 🎓💪 #AttendanceMatters #StayOnTrack #ClassicCityPride

Dear Parents and Guardians, We hope this letter finds you well. We are reaching out to share two important opportunities for you to get involved in the decision-making processes that impact our schools and community. Your voice and participation are invaluable as we work together to support our students and their educational experience. 1. PARENT ADVISORY BOARD. CCSD is reconstituting the Parent Advisory Board (PAB) this year and needs your input. PAB is different from LSGTs because it focuses on issues that affect all schools in CCSD rather than individual schools. Members are asked to attend four (4) meetings a year with each meeting lasting approximately 1.5 hours. If you are interested, please submit your name to Jessie Draper, draperj@clarke.k12.ga.us. 2. LSGT. The Local School Governance Team (LSGTeam) is a group of active school advocates who focus on making decisions and recommendations that are in the best interest of students, families, and communities. The LSGTeam focuses on School Improvement Planning; Curriculum & Instruction; School Operations; Personnel; and School Budget. The LSGTeam is co-led by the Principal and a parent or community member. The LSGTeam holds 6-12 open meetings throughout the year and the public is welcome to attend. Each LSGTeam is made up of the School Principal, 3 elected Teachers/Staff members, 3 elected Parents/Guardians, and 3 Community Members selected by the LSGTeam members. A student member serves on middle and high school teams. Each team elects a non-CCSD Co-Chair and a Secretary from among its members. All meetings are open to the public.
