The Principal’s Piece: A Note From Mrs. Randolph
What a fun-filled week we had as we celebrated Homecoming! I enjoyed seeing many of you at our parade in downtown Senoia. Our students (and parents) really showed out with their outstanding costumes this year! Our students looked adorable each day! Thank you for participating in this fun week!
Last Week in Chapel
We are currently studying a six part series titled “Just Do It”, similar to the Nike slogan. This series focuses on the commandments of Jesus. Our students will learn and study some of the most important commands that Jesus gave. It’s not enough just to KNOW Jesus’ commands. We must obey them! Jesus said it, so...Just DO IT!
Lesson 1: Just Obey
Lesson 2: Forgive Everyone
Lesson 3: Go!
Lesson 4: Don’t Judge Others
Lesson 5: Ask, Seek, Knock
Lesson 6: Take Up Your Cross

Staying Informed and Up-to-date with Classroom Happenings
To stay informed of what’s happening in your child’s classroom, please login into Blackbaud weekly. You will be able to see information such as weekly classroom announcements, upcoming events, weekly academic focus, grades, attendance, etc. This is the key to staying informed and replaces hardcopy newsletters. I encourage you to login each week. Information will be updated each Sunday at 5pm.
Accessing your child's class information weekly:
Login to your Blackbaud account and select your child's name under "Children".
Find your child's homeroom class under the "Progress" tab by scrolling down to where classes are listed.
After selecting the homeroom class, you will see the teacher's main class page where you will locate upcoming dates, class reminders and news.
Select the "Topics" tab to see specific information for each individual subject. Within each subject folder, you will see a plan for the week and upcoming projects and test information.
The "Topics" pages update each Sunday evening at 5pm and will remain current until the following Sunday evening.
