āœØ Dalton Public Schools Teaching & Learning Department is Shining a Light on Testing! āœØ

Our Teaching & Learning team is committed to helping families better understand the assessments our students take in Dalton Public Schools. Today, weā€™re highlighting BEACON Testing.

Parents, students will be taking the BEACON assessment this week.
BEACON helps to monitor student progress in reading and math, giving teachers valuable information to support learning throughout the year.

To support families, we have created two videosā€”one in English and one in Spanishā€”explaining what BEACON looks like in our schools.

Watch the English video here: https://youtu.be/5pguA5qsCDs?si=OUXEBaJBh5yL58Kw

The Dalton High School Interact Club completed their November service project by creating handwritten cards for patients and staff at our local hospital.

Each member wrote up to four notes filled with encouragement, gratitude, and well-wishes. Their goal: to learn how to serve, thrive, and lead within our communityā€”one small act of kindness at a time.

These cards were a simple way to offer comfort and remind others that even little acts of service can make a big impact!

A student stands in a classroom holding a colorful artwork representing Peru for the 2026 World Cup. She is smiling and wearing a light green puffer jacket over a beige shirt with blue jeans. The artwork features a soccer player wearing a Peru jersey with the number 10, standing in a valley framed by mountains. A bright sun with a face rises behind the peaks, and stylized red and pink lettering at the top reads ā€œLa blanquirroja! PERU.ā€ The classroom background includes tan brick walls, framed art on the walls, stacked supplies, and stainless-steel sinks.
A student stands in an art classroom holding a bright yellow, blue, and red artwork representing Ecuador for the 2026 World Cup. She is smiling softly and wearing a teal T-shirt and black pants. The artwork depicts an Ecuadorian soccer player in action with the number 23 on the jersey, set against radiating sunburst stripes in the colors of the Ecuadorian flag. The large text ā€œ2026ā€ appears at the top right, and ā€œECUADORā€ is written boldly along the bottom. Other students are visible working in the background at tables.

At the center of the art piece is an image of the Virgin of Guadalupe framed by a golden archway. The large text ā€œ2026ā€ appears above the scene. The classroom behind her includes shelves of art supplies, books, and materials.

Dalton Public Schools is excited to announce our 2025 REACH Scholars. These students were selected based on their strong academics, leadership, and dedication to their education, and we are proud of all they have accomplished so far.

REACH Georgia is a needs-based mentorship and scholarship program that supports students from 8th grade through high school. Scholars commit to staying on track academically, demonstrating good attendance and behavior, and taking part in mentoring and coaching along the way. When they complete the program, they earn a $10,000 scholarship that helps open the door to college opportunities across Georgia.

In a few weeks, weā€™ll celebrate our new scholars at our annual REACH Signing Ceremony. Weā€™ll also recognize our graduating REACH Scholars, the seniors who have completed the program and are preparing for their next chapter. It is always a meaningful moment for our students and their families, and weā€™re excited to share this milestone with our community.

Great things are ahead for them, and we canā€™t wait to cheer them on!
