Bobcat Family,

Raptor Update: FCS has updated the raptor system with new software. We will need to enter everyone’s information
back into the system. When planning a visit to the school, please plan on arriving a few minutes earlier and bring your
license to allow Ms. Hundelt enough time to re-enter your information. Everyone who visits the building will need to
have some type of ID in order to move past the front desk. Thank you for understanding that safety is our first priority
for our students and staff.

Summer Learning Opportunities Character Education

This month’s character education theme is

SPORTSMANSHIP!

Readers grow by reading! Of all the activities in which

you engage outside of school, time spent actually reading
is the best predictor of reading achievement – the more
you read, the better reader you become (Allington, 2006;
Anderson, Wilson, & Fielding, 1988).

More than that reading is FUN! Reading let's you visit a

new place, take an adventure into the unknown, explore
an interesting topic, or learn something new. Dive into Sportsmanship means:
summer reading with 3 easy steps. Visit our SBCE
summer learning resource page at I play fair.
https://www.smore.com/hs60f for access to web-based
programs, free books, summer reading challenges, and
I am respectful to other players.
more!
I keep a positive attitude.
Summer Activities
I do my best and have fun!

Each year we are asked about summer camps and

experiences available to local students. Check out the
links below for guides to a wide variety of summer
activities in the Johns Creek and metro Atlanta area.
