Ready for Day 1

  • Dear SPARK Families,

    Welcome back to school! We are so excited to kick off another amazing year of learning, growing, and building community together. Whether you’re returning or joining us for the first time—welcome to the Dragon family!

    As we gear up for the first day, here are a few gentle reminders to help make the transition smooth for everyone:

  • 🚸 Morning Arrival

    Students may begin arriving at the building at 7:15. If your student arrives after 7:45, they will be marked tardy. You are welcome to walk your child to class during the first week only, but please plan to exit the building before the instructional day begins at 7:45 AM.

  • 📧 Transportation Changes

    If your child’s transportation plans change, you must email both Mrs. Taylor (odette.taylor@atlanta.k12.ga.us) and your child’s teacher by 12:00 PM.

  • 🥪 Snack and Lunch

     Be sure to pack a snack and lunch daily, or plan for your child to purchase meals at school. To add funds to your child’s meal account, click here to access My School Bucks.

  • ☕ Coffee & Kleenex

    August 4th @ 7:45 to 8:05

    After drop-off, stop by the cafeteria for Coffee & Kleenex! Bring your coffee and toast your fellow Dragons to a fantastic year. Whether you're shedding tears of joy (or just need a little caffeine), we’ll be here to welcome you.

  •  🧴 Refillable Water Bottle

    Please send your child with a labeled, refillable water bottle each day.

  • 💙 Free & Reduced Lunch

    Applications must be resubmitted annually. Grace period for students that received free and reduced lunch last year is September 15. After that date, charges accrue if no new application. Click here to access the application. 

  •  👕 Change of Clothes

    Students in Pre-K through 1st grade should keep a full change of clothes at school, just in case.
