Through our Professional Learning Communities process, Bartow County Schools ensure students receive grade-level instruction, targeted Tier II intervention when needed, and enrichment opportunities for those who demonstrate proficiency. Students who have not met proficiency on grade-level standards by the end of the school year will be required to attend Summer Intervention. Programs will be held at all schools for elementary, middle, and high school students, with instruction in ELA/Reading, Math, Science, and Social Studies as applicable. Breakfast, lunch, and transportation are provided. Families will be notified by May 22 if a student is at risk of not meeting proficiency.

The smiles. The pride. What an unforgettable day. Student athletes from Bartow County Schools took the field at Special Olympics with determination, resilience, and heart. Every race run, every challenge met, and every cheer shared reminded us that this event is about far more than winning, it’s about inclusion, perseverance, and celebrating one another! |
