We are so excited to cheer our students on as we continue with our 20-day countdown to testing and head into EOG/EOC season! Testing will tentatively begin on May 12, and a full list of test dates is coming soon.
This is a team effort — and families play a huge role in student success! We've built a special Family Review Website just for you, packed with content overviews and released/sample tests so you can explore what your student has been learning this year. Even spending just a few minutes together reviewing can make a real difference!

Don't worry — our amazing staff has your student covered at school too! We'll be reviewing in classes and during SOAR/homeroom each morning, so every day of the countdown counts. Please help us by making sure your student is present and on time — it truly matters!
Together, we've got this. Let's finish strong, Ravens! 🐦⬛💪

This week, our SAVE Promise Club is shining a light on something important. 💙
It's Say Something Week (March 23–27) — a nationwide celebration of students, teachers, and community members who make schools safer just by showing up for each other.
Being an Upstander doesn't have to mean doing something big. Sometimes it's noticing when a friend seems off, telling a Trusted Adult, or using our school's anonymous reporting system to share a concern.
We're proud to be part of this movement.🌟

This week, we're putting the spotlight on our phenomenal Math teachers at East Forsyth Middle School! 🐦⬛
Our Math team doesn't just teach numbers — they're constantly refining their craft, pushing themselves to grow right alongside our Ravens. They help students set meaningful goals, track their progress, and celebrate every step forward — because here, growth matters just as much as the grade.
To our Math team — thank you for proving that with the right mindset, every problem has a solution! 💪
#PublicSchoolsWeek #EastForsythMiddle #RavenPride #MathTeachers #GrowthMindset #ThankATeacher #PublicSchoolProud
Behind every student who discovers a love of painting, masters a new language, builds something with their own hands, learns to cook a meal, plays their first song, or runs their first mile is a dedicated Encore educator cheering them on.
Our Art, Music, PE, Foreign Language, CTE, and FACS teachers enrich our students' education in ways that last a lifetime. We are so grateful for your dedication, creativity, and heart.
Please join us in thanking these amazing educators this week and every week! 👏
