It is our time to shine! Students have been working all year to master grade level standards, and now we get to show what we know!
The Georgia Milestones Assessment System (GMAS) will be administered over several days per grade level.  Below is the testing calendar for 3rd-8th grade students:

You can help by making sure your child gets a good night's rest and eats a good breakfast (either at home or at school). Talk to your child about thinking positive thoughts, showing what they know, and taking their time on the tests. Be sure your student arrives to school in plenty of time to eat breakfast, get settled in, and take a few moments for quiet reflection. 
 
Our students are going to rock the GMAS!

Brighten Academy won big at the 2017 Georgia Gravity Games. The school swept the games with three first-place finishes out of four categories. Brighten took first place in the stock class, the super stock class, and the engineered class and beat out the Google/Georgia Tech car. Brighten’s derby cars were driven by Alexa Garren (parent) Alain Civil (student), Preston Diller (student), and Roy Garren (student). Check out this video to see our parents and students in action.
