Parent Feedback on Discreet (Traditional) Math Option
All MS and HS parents are requested to share feedback on the district's intention to offer the discreet math option (referred to as the traditional approach) using the CCGPS/CCSS appropriately sequenced for such an option if the state BOE approves to grant such flexibility. This discreet math approach would be offered to incoming 9th graders beginning the 2011-12 school year. Parents may share feedback by going to the district's website or by utilizing the link below:

An Important Message from the Lithonia High School
Dear Lithonia High School Parents and Guardians:
Punctuality plays an important role in the development of our students, and being on time to class further ensures optimal class time for instructional purposes.
As we monitor our hallways, we have noticed the number of students intentionally not arriving to class on time has increased. As you are aware, tardies are disruptive and interrupt the entire class during instructional time. Students having four classes in close proximity to each other and five minutes to transition to class on time, it is a reasonable expectation that all students are in class before the tardy bell sounds.
We have instituted a tardy lock-out process where occasional, random, unannounced tardy lock-outs will take place. Those students “swept” up in the lock-out will be escorted to the commons area where a discussion regarding punctuality will take place. The students will sign in, receive their tardy, and report to class. The awarded tardies will be cumulative, though if caught in a tardy lock-out, the following progressive discipline consequences will take place:
1st tardy lock-out : Warning/Parent Phone Call
2nd : Detention/Parent Phone Call
3rd : One Day In School Suspension/Parent Phone Call
4th : One Day Out of School Suspension with a
principal-parent conference and behavior contract
5th : Referral to School Social Worker
We hope to see the number of students being late to class decrease and the effective time of learning in classrooms increase. If you have any questions regarding the process, please feel free to contact your student's grade level administrator. We look forward to seeing the students utilize their class time for an advance in learning, as well as develop an understanding of the importance of punctuality and its importance in the real world.
Thank you,
Lithonia High School

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
If a student misses 10 days of school, the Department of Motor Vehicles will rescind their driver's license or permit.
Reminder from The DeKalb County Board of Health: Get Your Child Immunized
for Novel H1N1 for the New Year. The DeKalb County School System wants to remind parents that getting your children immunized with the novel H1N1 vaccine is still the best way to help prevent the spread of flu virus both at home and in the classroom.
The health department has an ample supply of the vaccine in both nasal and
injectable forms. The vaccine is safe, effective and you do not need to be
in a priority risk group to receive it. You can take advantage of the
availability by getting your child's vaccination at one of the DeKalb
County Board of Health's five locations, Monday through Friday, between
8:15 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
The cost of the vaccine is free, however, an administrative fee is charged
to Medicaid, Medicare and third party insurance. Bring your child's shot
record and your insurance card with you at the time of service. For more
information, call (404) 294-3700 or visit www.dekalbhealth.net.
The school day begins at 8:10. Students who are late to school or classes will receive detention. Students who do not report to detention or have multiple tardies will be assigned in-school suspension or out of school suspension.
All car riders should be off campus by 3:45. Parents, please pick up your students in a timely manner.
New DeKalb County Dress Code. Please read at the top of this screen.
Reminder: All senior males must register with the Selective Service Office. (703) 605-4100. It is the Law! Failure to do so will make you ineligible for the Federal student loan or grant program. This includes Pell Grants, College Work Study, Guaranteed Student/Plus Loans, and National Direct Student Loans.
