Spring Break 2024
Monday, April 1st - Friday, April 5, 2024
Scholars enjoy your Spring Break 

Monday, April 8, 2024 is a Virtual Learning Day
Students do not report 
Independent Learning Day
Greetings Parents/Guardians:

To provide a safe viewing of the Great American Eclipse on April 8, the DeKalb County School District (DCSD) has decided to make that day an independent learning day for students and school-based employees. 

The safety and well-being of our students remain a top priority for DCSD, and while experiencing a solar eclipse is exciting and educational, looking directly at an eclipse can damage a student’s eyes. 

The independent learning day would also ensure students and staff are not on the roads and highways during the time of the eclipse, which is expected to begin at 1:45 p.m. and end at 4:21 p.m., during dismissal time for DCSD schools.
 
We encourage families who plan to experience the eclipse to be safe and protect their eyes by wearing eclipse-viewing glasses. Families can visit DCSD’s website for more safety tips.

Greetings Parents/Guardians, 

Beginning Wednesday, April 17, 2024, our scholars will take the Georgia Milestones End of Grade (EOG) Assessment in the following content areas: English Language Arts (6-8), Mathematics (6-8), Science (8) and Social Studies (8). 

 On behalf of the Cedar Grove Middle School scholars, I am asking you to please assist us by donating peppermint candy and or the small sized bottled water for our scholars during testing. We would like to provide each scholar with water and peppermint candy each day of testing. We have about 720 scholars and any amount of the items you can donate will be appreciated. 

In the past years, the peppermint candy & water drive has been successful, and we hope for the same this year.  

 If you decide to donate the requested items, you may drop your donation off at Cedar Grove Middle School beginning Monday, March 25, 2024, through Monday, April 9, 2024, from 8:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. Some parents/guardians have even had the items delivered from Amazon and other places. Please ensure you provide us with your full name and email address so we can thank you properly. 

WE APPRECIATE YOU. 
 
"The Washington Post" reported in 2007 that more schools are encouraging students to eat peppermint candy to boost test scores. But is it effective? Peppermint candy contains peppermint oil and sugar, two important ingredients that energize your brain. Research shows that peppermint stimulates the brain by improving memory and increasing alertness while helping it relax. Your body breaks down sugar to glucose -- the main fuel source for your brain. 

Thank you in advance for your support.
