ACI PTO-STAFF APPRECIATION WEEK Day 4: Thank you Monterrey, Athens TN for helping us love on our staff today. Mexican food is ALWAYS a favorite 🫔🌯🌮

We’ve partnered with Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital to offer telehealth services for all students. Pediatric providers from Dolly Children’s are available to evaluate symptoms and recommend treatment through a virtual health visit —right from the school clinic using virtual health tools. Students may be seen for fevers, sore throats, ear infections, allergies, rashes, pink eye, coughs, and more. On-site testing, such as flu, strep and COVID, is available when needed. ✅ Quick & convenient care at school ✅ Visits billed by Dolly Children’s to insurance (sliding scale available for uninsured families) 👉 Learn more or register your child at etch.com/schooltelehealth If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to your child's school nurse. This is one more way we’re working to support student health and make access to care more convenient for families 💙

All Cougars Immerse in Stories reading initiative for this year concluded today with reward day. 19 top readers who read over 750,000 words went to camp for an extended day of fishing, canoeing, rock painting, bracelet making, roasting marshmallows and hot dogs, and lots of fun. 18 students who read between 500,000 and 749.999 words or 60 books went for a chilly day of water fun at the splash pad and an ice cream treat at Dairy Barn. Finally 48 students who read between 250,000-499,999 words or 35 books enjoyed a pizza party at school. Congratulations to all the students and we hope you keep reading all summer to get a jump start on next year. Thank you to Athens City Intermediate School PTO for funding the trips and rewards today.

Tomorrow is our last PTO meeting of the school year!  Join us at 12pm in the PLC Room or online (link sent tomorrow).

Another successful dodgeball tournament for K-Kids today. 264 students were signed up to play with the winners and some add-ons playing against the teachers and then 5th grade K-kids getting a chance to take on the teachers. K-kids would like to thank all the students who played and bought concessions, along with all the teachers who helped to make this a great fundraiser to help with their final project of the year and future projects.
