Our Board of Directors invites you to join them for a Meet and Greet on Monday, November 7, at 10:30 am, in the JA/SA Cafeteria (Yates Campus). Board Chair Shannon Longino and members of the Board are pleased to provide a chance for Drew’s parents and guardians to meet and visit with those representing the school. This is an opportunity to put names with faces and see the work that supports our students and families at Drew Charter School.
Immediately following the Meet and Greet, the Drew Board of Directors Meeting will be held at 11:00 am in the Drew Center for the Arts (Theater).
Parking for both events will be available in the lot near the Second Avenue entrance. Families participating in the Meet and Greet may enter through the cafeteria doors at the front of the building.
We hope you can join us!

Based on the current CDC guidance regarding local COVID-19 Community Levels, we will lift our mask requirement for visitors and staff. This change is based on the most current CDC guidance and information regarding transmission levels for Dekalb and Fulton counties, which can be viewed here. Since both Fulton and DeKalb counties are at a medium Community Level, masks are strongly recommended but not required for students, staff, and families on Drew’s campus. As we continue to interact in ways that feel more like our pre-pandemic environment, it’s important to remember that we all have different perspectives about relaxing our mitigation practices. Please respect and support one another as we move forward.
Thank you for continuing to provide the best possible learning experience for our students. Take care, and we look forward to seeing you on Monday.

Typically, high school is the time when young Eagles are maturing and are prepared to fly on their own. Encourage this independent practice. They will still need the watchful eye to guide them in their development and learning. Please do so during breaks and refrain from interrupting live instruction for the benefit of the students and teachers. The slideshow will include some additional ways you can support your learner in the virtual environment.
