LSIC Meeting Minutes
Congratulations to Athens Elementary School's 2025-2026 Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Andrea Barr!
Happy Paraprofessional Week to our AMAZING Teaching Assistants!
LSIC Meeting on Monday, April 7th.
April is designated as the Month of the Military Child, a time to recognize and celebrate the contributions and resilience of military children, and their unique experiences and challenges. The month aims to raise awareness about the needs and experiences of military children, who often face challenges like frequent moves, deployments, and separations from parents.
We will celebrate with spirit week next week!
Tonight is our Title I Parent Night from 5:00-6:00pm. We hope you can join us! There will be a drawing for some awesome door prizes!!
As we move farther along in the school year, don't forget that attendance still matters!
Mercer County Schools has created a universal link for parents and guardians to upload absence excuses. This form is the same for all schools in the county. A new laminated card will be coming home with your student soon.
We are proud to announce the Mercer County Social Stuides winners! Everyone did a great job and represented Athens School! 🌎
