EAST ELLIJAY, Ga. – Preparing for the new year and new board members, Gilmer Schools updated their students code and handbook as they hit their mid-year meeting and prepare for the return for the second semester in January.
Coming late in the year, changes to the student handbook were approved this week in order to provide for students needing certain credits for graduation. Adjusting specifically a world language instead of certain CTAE courses in graduation requirements, this change comes, according to Superintendent Dr. Shanna Downs, as the virtual academy is not able to do those courses online.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – In Mon County, Director of Federal Programs and Elementary Curriculum at the school system, Norma Gaines has been learning and injecting creativity wherever possible to keep the younger learners engaged.
On WAJR’s Ask the Educators, she said young learners have more trouble screening distractions while learning from home. In many cases, the situation is compounded in families that have more than one student.
“To a certain extent you have to be even more engaging than you would be in-person with children to keep their attention,” Gaines said,” The younger the children are, the more difficult it is to deliver instruction online.”
