School Education Partners: Phoenix Academy & Upward Bound, A Federal Funded program geared to helping students graduate high school and attend a four-year or two-year college/technical program

Upward Bound provides the following support for our students:  College Exposure and Preparation, Individual and Academic Advisement and Support, and Career Development.  If this is of interest to you and you are embarking on your journey here with us at Phoenix Academy, contact Ms. Mullins and Ms. Bush upon entering our program.  

During the week of Feb. 7-11, 2022 we celebrated our School Counselors, Mrs. Gwendolyn and Dr. Curry.  We thanked them for their tremendous service and dedication to our students, staff and school families.  Below is a little dedication that some of our students put together to share how special our Phoenix Counselors mean to them.  

On January 21, 2022 Communities in Schools blessed the teachers at Phoenix Academy with breakfast from Chickfila!!  Fellowship was had and a Fabulous Friday was set in motion. Thank you to Ms. Mullins and Communities in Schools for all that you do to provide support to our students and staff!

Atlanta Public Schools is committed to creating a culture of student support, and supporting the needs of the whole child. One way we are addressing the whole child is by identifying student strengths and areas for growth relative to social, emotional, and behavioral well-being. In our continuing efforts to support the well-being of all students, we will be administering a universal screener of social, emotional & behavioral health. The assessment consists of a brief rating scale that will be completed by the homeroom or advisement teachers to aid in identifying students who may be at risk to develop academic or other school-related concerns. In addition, students ages 8 and above (3^rd – 12^th grade) will be invited to complete a self-rating that will take 5 – 15 minutes to complete. We acknowledge the importance of parent input into this screening process, therefore parents of students grades Pk-12 will also be invited to complete a brief rating scale about their student(s). Together, this information helps us to understand the needs of all students, and to make effective plans to support those needs at the school, class, and individual levels.

10 APS Schools Receive $1,000 Mini Grants

Ten APS schools have each received $1,000 employee well-being mini grants. The grants will be used to bring increased awareness and support for the mental and physical well-being of Atlanta Public Schools’ valued employees. Improved employee well-being is linked to better attendance, engagement and retention. Made possible by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the grant funds are awarded to those proposals that best support the mission and vision of APS and the well-being of APS's employees. Funding is used to revamp existing or introduce new well-being programs so that all employees can have access to healthy choices physically and emotionally.
