Half-Day: Tuesday, January 5th

Save the Date! 2021 Rising 6th Grade Skate Party


Calling All Rising 6th Grade Sutton Cougars! Please save the date for the 11th Annual Rising 6th Grade Sutton Cougar Skate Social at Park Tavern's RINK! All SMS Feeder Elementary school "COMMITTED COUGARS" are invited to this event on Sunday, January 24, 2021!

Skates and skate session from 11:00 am - 2:00 pm are FREE for all pre-registered Cougars. This will be the FIRST opportunity for students from all SIX feeder schools to come together before the start of Middle School. PTA and Staff will be available to informally discuss the Sutton experience and share opportunities for parents to get involved. Join your future middle school community for a fun day of skating! Plan to mingle rink-side with other parents and learn more about Sutton!

This is NOT a drop-off event. A parent or guardian must be present in order for your child to participate. The Park Tavern patio will be open for parents to eat lunch. Check out Park Tavern's yummy menu here.

Stay tuned for how to RSVP - we will also include social distancing guidelines at that time. We look forward to seeing you and your student there!

Tech Help


Technology continues to be one of everyone’s biggest challenges. There are multiple ways for you to receive some assistance with your device or with any of the platform. First, reach out to your teacher and let them know that you are having issues; they might be able to troubleshot with you first. You can call the district technology help desk at 404.802.1000. Also, you can contact media specialist Paula Boston at 404.802.7066 or pboston@atlanta.k12.ga.us.
