Forty teachers at Stonewall Tell Elementary School are pursuing National Board Certification through the Take One! program of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards.

  

 

April 30 is the deadline for employment transfer applications. Information was emailed to all employees in late March by the Human Resources Department.

 

Those requesting a transfer should submit paperwork directly to the principal at the school (or director at the site) they desire. Surplussed employees will be given priority for open positions, and general transfers will only be considered once an administrator has confirmed through the Human Resources Department that no surplus employee is available to place in the position. 

 

Lake Forest Elementary School in Sandy Springs held a dedication ceremony March 26 to celebrate its first year as a new school.
 
Parents, students, Lake Forest staff and principals from nearby schools joined in for the celebration. Local elected officials as well as school system leaders, including Superintendent Cindy Loe and school board members Linda Bryant, Julia Bernath and Gail Dean, also turned out for the festivities. 
 
Highlighted activities included performances from the school's chorus and mariachi band. The Lake Forest media center also was dedicated in honor of Otis M. Jackson, a former Fulton County school board member and a longtime resident of Sandy Springs.
