Teachers, Coaches, and Club Sponsors:
Please come out and support the athletic programs by participating in the 4th Annual Panther Pride 5K Run September 28th, 2019 at 9:00AM at Freeman Park. This is great opportunity for our high school teachers, clubs, and sports programs to show support for our athletes. I have attached the flyer to this email and will be placing a flyer in your boxes to post in your classrooms. Please help us out, by announcing the event to your classes and encouraging kids to sign up early to receive the lowest cost to participate in this event. Also, if you are able and willing to offer any type of incentive for participating in this event, please do so as well. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Below is the link to sign up. Thank you for your support!

Tim Jones and I want to recognize the hard work and accomplishments of our teachers and students this past year. For the second year in a row, Bartlett High School and Bartlett Ninth Grade Academy have been recognized by the State of Tennessee as a Reward School. This is the highest honor a school can receive for its performance on state mandated tests.

Below, Academy English and Math teachers celebrate this accomplishment. Thanks go out to all teachers and staff, parents and students at to our respective schools for what they do each day to make the learning environment a productive one.

Now, to start working for a third banner for the coming year...

Parents, please remember to check your child’s attendance on PowerSchool weekly, or after you have sent in a note. We have a very small window of time for making corrections, and we want your child’s attendance record to be 100% accurate. Sometimes notes don’t make it to the Attendance Office for one reason or another.
Emails (to vmoser@bartlettschools.org, jtaylor2@bartlettschools.org, or jmcdonald@bartlettschools.org) are always a good way to send a note or follow-up on a written note. Weekly checks will hopefully prevent situations at the end of the grading period, the semester, or the year, where we have inaccurate information and lack the ability to make changes.
Students, you can also monitor your attendance on PowerSchool and let us know about errors. This is good practice for second semester when you want to remain eligible for exam exemptions at the end of the year.

Parents, please take a moment and go online to take our Title I Parent Survey:

I had the privilege of attending the BHS Band Concert here at the Academy last night. The music was incredible, starting with the Freshman Band, continuing with the Junior Varsity Band, and concluding with the Varsity Band. Well done, Mr. Dodd, Ms. Birmingham, and students.

Congratulations to Amanda Tutor. She is the Teacher of the Year for Bartlett Academy, the High School Teacher of the Year for Bartlett City Schools, and the High School Teacher of the Year for the Southwest Region of Tennessee.

Freshman foreign language students had a great day at the World Language Fair.  Most of all, our students enjoyed the experience and grew because of it.  We had sixteen students from Bartlett 9th Grade Academy participate this year. We received 1st place in the Poster contest (Anastasia Karasev and Dawn Jardinico), 2nd place in the Level 2 Spanish Poetry Division for native speakers (Mariana Balderrama), 3rd place in Level 2 Spanish Poetry (Anastasia Karasev), and 2nd place in the Level 2 Vocabulary Quiz (Allie Knolton).
