Grow your summer meals
Gardening is a great summer activity for students. Planting, nurturing, and eating vegetables or sharing blooming flowers is both educational and exciting!
Check with your local library to see if they have seeds you can plant. Pick a theme -- salsa garden (tomatoes, onions, and peppers), red (flowers, peppers, tomatoes) -- or have challenges – tallest plants or most produce.
If you don’t have room for a garden of your own, Atlanta’s Community Garden and Natural Areas Maintenance Division can help you and your family find a community garden to not only nurture, but make friends.

Cellphone Policy
Atlanta Public Schools allows high school students the privilege of the use of personal electronic devices (PEDs) -- including cell phones – to students who observe PED policy.
The personal electronic devices (PEDs) policy is in effect from the time a student arrives at school until the completion of the instructional day. High school students with permission to possess PEDs may use them during after-school activities as allowed.
The instructional day includes, but is not limited to:
-
lunch breaks
-
class changes
-
study hall
-
other structured or non-structured instructional activity that occurs during the normal school day
Devices must be out of sight and turned off. This prohibition includes all emergency situations unless the student is directed to use a cellular telephone or PED by an APS employee or other official.
