Dear Students, Employees, Families & Community Members,
The Augusta County Public Schools staff have begun the process of developing a draft budget for the next school year, 2024-2025. Your views are an important part of that work and we encourage you to participate by offering your input by way of a budget survey which can be found at the following link: https://forms.gle/bUfA4PbSH2mP16FA9
Two days a doesn’t seem like a lot but…two days a month adds up to:
One month per year
Chronic absenteeism
Gaps in learning
Missing opportunities
So let's SHOW UP TOGETHER because Every Day Counts!
We appreciate our School Psychologists!
During the week of November 6-10, 2023 schools throughout the United States will celebrate National School Psychology Week (NSPW) to highlight the important work school psychologists and other educators do to help all students thrive. This year's theme is "Let's Grow Together," inspired by the importance of both personal and shared strengths in our growth as individuals and school communities in every season of life. The theme recognizes every aspect of growth, as fundamental to effective learning environments and to school psychologists' role in supporting student well-being and learning. -National Association of School Psychologists
Reminder to Families: Monday, November 6 and Tuesday, November 7 are Work Days/Professional Development Days for staff. There is no school for students.
The Comprehensive Plan is a far-ranging and dynamic blueprint that will guide Augusta County's economic and cultural growth over the next 20 years. Share how you envision the future of Augusta County.
Happy Head Start Awareness Month!
Every Day Counts! Absences add up, and even two days a month can impact a child's learning. Attendance is a lifelong skill. At school and in life, SHOWING UP MATTERS!
