We are launching a free Morning Shuttle Pilot Program from April 10 (Monday after Spring Break) through April 28, 2023. For this pilot program, Drew will send out two buses: one to Bessie Branham Park (Kirkwood) and one to Brownwood Park (East Atlanta). The buses arrive at each location by 7:15 am and depart at 7:25 am sharp. Each site can have up to 40 participants for the shuttle pilot program. Please complete the form by clicking the link below by Wednesday, March 29.
Please read through the frequently asked questions linked below, and if you have additional questions, please email costequity@drewcharterschool.org.
Our Board of Directors invites you to join them for a Meet and Greet on Monday, April 24, at 10:30 am, in the Drew Center for the Arts (Theater). 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.
Immediately following the Meet and Greet, the Drew Board of Directors Meeting will begin at 11:00 am.
We hope you can join us!

Parent Survey Link is LIVE!
The Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) wants to hear from all parents of students with disabilities. Each year the GaDOE reports on Indicator 8: The percentage of parents who report that the school facilitated parent involvement. The GaDOE uses a survey that is disseminated statewide to measure this indicator. This your time to give feedback and your participation is both important and valued. The ten-questions electronic survey is available online only. Our goal is to have 100% participation!

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.
