The “goat kiss” challenge was for our student attendance during testing to be at 95%.
Our SSES Scholars exceeded that goal and attendance was a whopping 97%!

So yesterday, Dr. Bostic…our Principal, kept her promise in front of the entire staff and student population!! The lucky goat was “Lego Walden” and we are quite sure he will never forget it!!

Looking for something fun and educational for your young student to do this summer? NCSS has the answer—the Little Scholars Program for rising kindergarten, first, and second-grade students. This unique, fun, and free summer program will take place Mondays through Thursdays from June 6 through June 30, 2022 at Live Oak Elementary and Newton County Theme School. Hours of operation will be from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

At Little Scholars, students will participate in fun, engaging activities throughout the program as they visit different themes each week. (See flyer for grade-level themes). During each theme, students will focus on academic standards that will build the foundation students need to be successful in school.

Little Scholars will provide activities in reading, vocabulary, writing, and math. Science and social studies will be integrated through hands-on and engaging activities. The program will have a strong emphasis on phonics, sight words, and early numeracy. Skills taught during this program will be based on the Georgia Standards of Excellence, giving students a head start for the 2022-2023 school year. The program is free for any Newton County resident entering kindergarten through 2nd grade. Meals and modified transportation will be provided.

Registration is limited at each location. To register your child for this program, visit the following link: https://forms.gle/n58qnJLXgbpPr3KR8.

For more information, contact Dr. Karen Dozier at 770-787-1330 ext. 1286 or by email at [email protected].
