This past week the three bands at Cambridge High Scho ol performed at our Large Group Performance Evaluation (band EOCT's).  The bands are evaluated by a panel of three judges on repertoire we have prepared for the past six to seven weeks.  For the first time that Cambridge has taken multiple ensembles to LGPE, all three bands were awarded the highest possible rating from all three stage judges - straight Superior Ratings!

Congratulations to our students for their effort and achievement - and thanks to all of our volunteers, instructors, and understanding staff at Cambridge for all of your support!  

Our next round table discussion is titled "What's on our reading list?" As practitioners, we are constantly reading and learning to stay abreast of trends and ensure that we are using best practices. Much of what we read is not education-centric and may be of interest to all. In this meeting, we will discuss highlights of recent texts and how our practices both personal and professional have been influenced. 

Participants are encouraged to share their readings as well. My hope is this will spark meaningful conversations and maybe create a book-study or two to hold with parents. Our round table is:

Fulton County School System is raising awareness about the risks and dangers around student use of vapes/e-cigarettes. 2018 national survey data concluded that 11.7% of high school students and 3.3% of middle school students have used an e-cigarette in the past 30 days. Our school leaders have reported an uptick of students bringing and using vapes/e-cigarettes on school campuses which constitutes a violation of the Student Code of Conduct but more importantly, the use of these devices puts our students at risk for the known and unknown dangers of vaporized chemicals they emit.

Our schools will be educating parents, students, and communities using three approaches: Awareness/Prevention, Intervention and Response. This week, we will focus on intervention for students. Each school has been provided access to vaping prevention lesson information from the CATCH (Coordinated Approach To Child Health) My Breath Program (https://catchinfo.org/modules/e-cigarettes) and will decide how best to share this information with students.

This program has three intended outcomes: 1) Understand that e-cigarettes are addictive, unhealthy and not as popular as believed; 2) Resist their own curiosity and peer pressure to experiment with e-cigarettes; and 3) Encourage friends and peers not to use e-cigarettes. For parents who have students who might be struggling with tobacco addiction, there are two intervention resources we encourage you to review:

https://teen.smokefree.gov/
https://www.samhsa.gov/find-help/national-helpline

Over the next couple of weeks, we will share an additional communication that will contain information on our third approach: response. Thank you in advance for partnering with us to prevent, intervene and respond to this ever-growing safety concern facing our students. At Fulton County Schools, we believe students come first, and their safety is a top priority. Thank you for your support in this effort.

As part of our safety and security plan, we are implementing a policy such that all students must wear an ID at all times. IDs should be worn around the neck and visible. By requiring all staff, students, and visitors have some identification on them at all times; we can better ensure that the people in our building, should be in our building. We ask that all parents and guardians help us in this safety measure by ensuring that your student has his/her ID on them each day.

If your student has not received his/her ID, please have them see Ms. Leathers in the Front Office.  Please note that if a student loses his/her ID, it will cost $5 to replace the ID and if a student loses their ID and lanyard, it will cost $10 to replace all items.
