Don't let that summer slide hit! Parents our public library has a summer reading program for littles. Get EPIC is an online reading platform with many great books. YouTube has many read-alouds for kids to listen to.

Summer School starts Tuesday, June 6th from 8-12 for all students that received a letter and have returned their paperwork.

Affordable Internet for Families with Students in the Crisp County School System and Other Qualifying Families The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP https://gta.georgia.gov/news/2023-05-19/georgia-technology-authority-launches-statewide-initiative-increase-affordable?ct=t(acpactnowGA_051923_cities)) is a federal benefit that aims to provide eligible households with a $30/month discount on their home Internet bill. In addition, the benefit provides a one-time $100 discount toward a connected device through a participating provider. We are committed to closing the broadband affordability gap so that every resident has equal access to the digital age opportunities. A household is eligible if one member of the household meets at least one of the criteria below: ● Has an income that is at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines (https://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty-guidelines) ● Participates in certain assistance programs, such as SNAP, Medicaid, Federal Public Housing Assistance, SSI, WIC, or Lifeline ● Is approved to receive benefits under the free and reduced-price school lunch program or the school breakfast program, including through the USDA Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) ● Received a Federal Pell Grant during the current award year ● Meets the eligibility criteria for a participating broadband provider’s existing low-income program ● Participates in one of several Tribal specific programs, such as Bureau of Indian Affairs General Assistance, Tribal Head Start (only households meeting the relevant income qualifying standard), Tribal TANF, or Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations. To get started, households can visit https://www.GetACP.org, EducationSuperHighway’s pre-enrollment tool to see if they qualify, what documents they will need at the time of application, and to see a list of “free with ACP” home internet plans.

Notice of Request for Public Comment The Consolidated LEA Improvement Plan (CLIP) fulfills the need for a plan from LEAs (Local Educational Agencies) to be collected by the Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) to define how the LEAs will support their students when accepting federal funds under The Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015. Crisp County School System is seeking input from parents, educators, community partners, post-secondary institutions, and other stakeholders on the upcoming year’s CLIP. Please respond by June 3rd.
