Barrow County School System’s first BOLDer Together meeting on Aug. 30 offered families a chance to connect with district and school administrators to discuss their child’s education and learn about curriculum and topics related to well-being.
Superintendent Dr. Dallas LeDuff opened the event with a message for families. “Thank you for joining us for our first BOLDer Together engagement session. Your participation and feedback truly make a difference in the partnership we share concerning our common goal of helping children grow, achieve, and succeed.”
The August session focused on changes to elementary school grading and gave guidance on developing homework and study habits. The School Social Work team and Project AWARE Mental Health Clinicians provided valuable information about what it means to care for the whole child. All presentations are linked on the BOLDer Together web page in both English and Spanish.
Students from Barrow Arts and Sciences Academy’s National Honor Society and Apalachee High School’s National Science Honor Society used the opportunity to earn volunteer hours. They helped set up and clean the room, greeted families, and even enjoyed participating in the activities.
BCSS District Partner in Education BankOZK generously provided refreshments for those in attendance and participated in the event as parents. BCSS is grateful for their support and dedication to student success.
