Dear Parents or Guardians,

Redan High School has an exciting opportunity to offer computer science next year. We are investing in our students by partnering with Microsoft Philanthropies TEALS to build and grow our CS program. There are more than 500,000 open computer science positions without qualified talent to fill them across all industries. We are trying to help ensure our students have access to the necessary education to ensure a successful future for them.

Action We’re Taking

Microsoft Philanthropies TEALS is a program that recruits, mentors, and places passionate technology professionals into high school classrooms as volunteer instructors. These volunteers bring subject matter expertise and will join Ms. Amado to teach computer science together. TEALS provides training for both parties, rigorous curricula, and opportunities for students to continue their education outside of the classroom.

We are applying to partner with TEALS. If our application is accepted, we will offer two courses: “Introduction to Computer Science” and “Advanced Placement (AP) Computer Science.” The introductory class is based on the award-winning University of California Berkeley CS10 course and is adapted specifically for high schools. The other course will prepare students to take the college board’s AP computer science A exam in May.

As a TEALS partner school, Redan High School needs to assist with volunteer recruitment from the computer science and software engineering fields to team-teach these courses with our teachers. Redan High School would hold the courses first period to permit the volunteers to attend their jobs.

Please help --if you or someone you know works in the computer science or software engineering field and would be interested in making a difference in our students’ future success, please contact Ms. Amado at 678-676-3725 or tammy_amado@dekalbschoolsga.org. You can read more about TEALS on their website at http://www.tealsk12.org.

I am excited about this opportunity and look forward to hearing from many of you.

Effective today, all DCSD schools may now use the SMS (text) messaging feature on School Messenger.

To register, send a text message of “Y” or “Yes” (without the quotation marks) to our school district's short code number, 67587. They can also opt out of these messages at any time by simply replying to one of our messages with “Stop.”

Parents & students may subscribe to the RSS feeds for any or all the news & announcements. You may also set your smartphone to receive the latest news & announcements from the DeKalb County School District mobile app. Please click here for more information on the DCSD app.

As a pilot program for the district your feedback will be important. We hope all high school students use this service, and if you don’t find it helpful you may cancel future messages at any time.

End of Course Testing

Students and Parents:

To better prepare students for the upcoming assessment, the Georgia Department of Education has released Study/Resource Guides for both the End of Grade and the End of Course. Study/Resource Guides are intended to serve as a resource for parents and students. They contain practice questions and learning activities for each content area. Please share these valuable resources with students, parents and all other stakeholders.

What is a School-ParentTeacher Compact?

A School-Parent Compact is a written commitment describing how all members of a school community (parents, staff, and scholars) agree to share responsibility for student learning. This compact helps bridge the learning connection between school and home. Effective Compacts: • Link to goals of the school improvement plan • Focus on student learning skills • Share strategies that staff, parents and scholars can use to improve student learning • Share strategies parents can use at home • Explain how teachers and parents will communicate about scholar progress • Describe opportunities for parents to observe, and participate in the classroom.
