DPS 21st Century Programs

This week kicked off the start of Roan and Westwood Reads for the school year! At Westwood Kid City, students in Kindergarten through 2nd grade will meet with a reading mentor once a week. At Roan Kid City, 2nd and 3rd grade students will also receive weekly support from a reading mentor. The excitement was contagious as both mentors and mentees connected over books and built new relationships. We are deeply thankful for the ongoing support of our community partners: Engineered Floors, Dalton Utilities, United Way, First Baptist Church, The Early Childhood Initiative, and Mentor Georgia.

Today was our first day of Kid City, and we welcomed 226 students from our six elementary schools. It was such a fun and exciting start, and we’re so grateful for the chance to work with each one of them!
