Brantley County Middle School - February 2010A Message from the PrincipalAs we kick off our third nine weeks grading period, I want to stress the importance of the teaching and learning that will take place during this time period leading up to the CRCT. These next 11 weeks leading up to the CRCT are perhaps the most important of the entire school year.
We ask that you as parents commit to working with all of us as we prepare students for success both in the classroom and on the CRCT. We need our students to be at school each and every day possible, as our school is graded on student attendance each year. We also need our students' full attention and effort each and every day to ensure that they experience success.
