The Carroll County Schools ESOL Department hosted an ESOL Overview meet and greet on August 28, 2014. Parents, students, teachers, and school administrators had an opportunity to discuss pertinent information regarding the ESOL program and educational topics relative to student achievement and graduation. Some of the topics discussed included: ESOL Qualifications and Services, Infinite Campus, CCGPS, Graduation Requirements, Georgia Milestones, Student Attendance, and Parental Involvement. Parents were informed of upcoming parent involvement opportunities and were provided ways that they could become more involved in their child's school.
