Tate Elementary School

We had a house full of celebrities today!

Happy Homecoming week and GOOOOOOO DRAGONS!!!!

Our School Advisory Council would love your participation. Parents and Teachers working together is so important and we would love your input. Thanks for helping making Tate great. We hope to see you there.

The carryover in benefits from last year’s Free & Reduced Meal Program will end September 15, 2025. After this date the student will return to full pay status unless a new application is submitted to re-establish the student's eligibility before the end of the carryover period.

For households that meet the income requirements we encourage you to submit a new free and reduced application now.

The Treble Makers performed for the Title I Night. Wesley Goble sang a solo, "Kookaburra."

PCSD is excited to share a powerful tool provided by the Georgia Department of Education to help families protect their children online: Parent ProTech, a free resource available to all parents in our school district.

It offers guidance, video tutorials, and practical tips to help you navigate the digital world your child is growing up in.

Good Morning Tate Families,

Please see the attached dress up schedule for our Homecoming Spirit Week September 15-19.

The Homecoming Parade is scheduled for 9/17 at 6:00. Tate Elementary will have a float this year, so come out and support Dragon Nation if you can.

A huge shoutout to our PTO parents, community volunteers, grandparents, and students for an awesome day at the book fair. We can't wait to see our parents on Tuesday, September 9 at 4:00 for more shopping before our Title I meeting.

Ms. Faucett's class filled their reward jar by having good behavior and receiving compliments in the hallway, so they earned a popsicle party.

Good Morning Tate Families,

We hope you are excited about our first Title I Night of the year. We can't wait to see you.

We are so excited about the overwhelming response we have received for Grandparents' Lunch on Friday, September 5th. Due to the large number of confirmed visitors, please plan to arrive 30 minutes prior to your grandchild's scheduled lunch time to check in.

We are operating on the alternate lunch schedule that was sent home with students last week.

Be on the lookout for the form being sent home this afternoon and make sure all visitors are prepared to present their identification at check in.

We look forward to seeing everyone Friday!

Nurse Libby always goes above and beyond to make us remember her trainings. Today she did not disappoint. She takes her job and the health of her staff and her students very seriously, we are lucky to have her as our hero!

August has been filled with exercise, fun, and learning! It's safe to say the first month of school was a success!

Check out our August Rock Stars, aka Student of the Month.
