Coweta County Schools welcome students for 2012-13 year Aug. 6 By REBECCA LEFTWICH REBECCA@NEWNAN.COM
Lightning bugs are still glowing but the Fourth of July has come and gone, so it’s time to shop for new pencil boxes and gear up for the 2012-13 school year. Pre-planning for all teachers in the Coweta County School Sys t e m ( CCSS) b eg i n s on Wednesday, Aug. 1, and students head back Aug. 6. Teachers, administrators and support staff are busy preparing for the upcoming year. “My favorite part of back to school is meeting new students and welcoming back students who were with us last year,” said Dr. Jan Franks, who has been principal at Arnall Middle School for five years. Franks advises parents to relax as they get their children ready for the start of school and to let school staff to help ease the transition, especially for students new

to middle school. She said the more at ease the parents are, the less anxious their children will be about starting school. “My advice to parents is to breathe,” Fran ks said. “We understand they may have anxieties of their child beginning a new school or at a new level. We are here to help in this transition.” “Learning how to successfully navigate these types of changes instill a level of confidence in their child and this confidence will lay the foundation as their child transitions to high school which will be here in a blink of an eye,” Franks added. Parents and students are welcome to visit schools for orientation Friday, Aug. 3. Teachers will not be available for formal conferences, but administrators say plenty of staff will be on hand to answer questions and welcome

Columbus RiverWalk The RiverWalk is an outdoor 15-mile linear park that hugs the banks of the Chattahoochee River in downtown Columbus. By foot or on wheel, you’ll skirt the cityscape, examine historic monuments and markers, and take in the wild beauty of the rolling river and native wildlife. The RiverWalk spans the riverfront from the Lake Oliver City Marina south and now extends through the campus of TSYS and into the cotton mill town of Bibb City. Before you start your RiverWalk venture, stop by the Visitors Center at 900 Front Avenue. Everything you need to help prepare you for your adventure on the scenic RiverWalk is there including brochures, water, and various tour options. If you would like a guided glide tour of the RiverWalk or if you are looking at renting a bike, all of that information and more can be found at the Visitors Center. Admission is free.

n the rush to get everyone off to school, it’s easy to fall into a food rut, serving the same things for breakfast, lunch and snacks. But with some inspiration and a little planning, going back to school can taste a whole lot better than it used to. To make things even more fun, have the kids help with these recipes and ideas. Once they get the hang of it, they can experiment with new ingredients and do it themselves, taking one more thing off your to-do list. ■

Lunch: Skip the same old sandwiches and liven up the lunchbox with these tasty creations. Try a Tortilla Wrap made with chicken, Salsa, Guacamole and a hint of lime juice. Experiment with different kinds of tortillas, from whole wheat or sundried tomato, to spinach or jalapeño. For a full-of-flavor favorite, make a Mexican Turkey Torta. Thin turkey slices get topped with a zesty black bean and corn relish, crisp lettuce and your favorite guacamole.

PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY If You Suffer From A Single One Of These Tortuous Symptoms — Numbness, Tingling, Burning or Sharp Nerve Pain In Your Feet — DESPITE WHAT MANY DOCTORS MAY TELL YOU, PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY CAN BE EFFECTIVELY TREATED
Peripheral Neuropathy affects every part of your life — walking, sleeping, socializing, sometimes even sitting and so much more.
Ask Yourself These 5 Questions:
If you have tried “everything” (Lyrica®, Neurotin®, physical therapy, orthotics for your shoes, even injections) without getting the lasting results you want then you may be the perfect candidate for my Neuropathy Program. There is a simple reason that these treatments fail… because they are only covering up the symptoms. They do not address the root cause of your Peripheral Neuropathy. We all know this to be true. There is a tremendous difference between covering up your symptoms and actually fixing the underlying problem. Why settle for “band-aid” care, when you could potentially correct the problem?
The Single Most Important Solution To Your Neuropathy Has Been Years in the Making… It cost me thousands of dollars and countless hours away from my family, researching, reading, talking with experts in the scientific community and racking my brain in order to create a “No-Holds Barred”, exceedingly effective Neuropathy Recovery Program. Finally my Neuropathy program is available to you. And the best news is that the principles of my Neuropathy Recovery Program work with both diabetic and nondiabetic types of neuropathy. How does my Neuropathy Program work? Quite simply, by finding the TRUE cause of your Neuropathy and then having the “know-how” on how to remove that cause. Every patient’s case of Neuropathy will be different, so I don’t have the space here to go into more details. That is why I am offering a Special Evaluation in order to see if you can be helped with my Neuropathy Recover Program. My patients know my insider secrets to recovery. They have already received their individualized Neuropathy Recover Program and are having amazing results. Here is what they are saying: “This is the first time in many years that I have been able to feel my feet.” -Ben Hollis
As Seen On Atlanta & Company on 11Alive
“I have suffered from severe neuropathy in both feet for close to 10 years. My previous doctors said it was due to my Diabetes and that I would just have to live with it. After reading about Dr. Dunn, I went to go see him. I’ve completed the treatment plan that he outlined and am happy to say that I am finally symptom free.” — Bill Schwartz “Before seeing Dr. Dunn, the neuropathy in my feet was so bad that I couldn’t even drive a car. Now, I can drive myself to get groceries and go to Wal-Mart whenever I want to. Dr. Dunn truly gave me my life back.” — Mary Jenkins “After the first treatment, I noticed an immediate improvement. For the first time in many years, I was actually able to sleep through the night without my feet waking me up.” — Susie Sayer
1. Do you feel like you’re wearing an invisible “sock” over your feet? 2. Does it feel like you are stepping on thumb tacks? 3. Are you extremely sensitive to touch… Burning, Freezing or electric “shocks” into your legs or feet? 4. Are you experiencing Numbness, Tingling, Loss of Feeling or even Weakness in your legs or feet? 5. Are you starting to have balance problems now because of your feet? If you answered “YES” to any of these questions, chance are you may have Peripheral Neuropathy. If you’ve been suffering for a while and you’re tired of treatments that only give you temporary relief, then I may have the answer you’ve been waiting and hoping for. Remember, this Special Offer is only good until the 31st of July. Call today 770-408-0184 and we can get you scheduled for your consultation and exam as soon as there’s an opening. When you call, tell Kathy you’d like to come in for my Neuropathy Recovery Evaluation so she can make sure you receive proper credit for this special offer.
Now let me say this, I am not promising that I can cure everyone. I don’t even know if you qualify for my program. That is yet to be determined, and requires a thorough exam and review of your history.
Sincerely,
I know that you’ve been promised the moon and stars before and nobody has delivered the goods.
P.S. See Dr. Dunn interviewed about Neuropathy on 11Alive Morning and on 92.5FM “The Bear”.
That’s why I’m offering you a risk-free introduction to this program. For a limited time you will receive my Qualifying Examination Special for only $47 if you call before July 31, 2012.
Correct Diagnosis + Correct Treatment = Best Results Possible and Relief. If you are tired of the institutionalized medical merry-go -round of cover up care, then you need to try my program. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Back-to-School
Five tips for boosting back-to-school success ARA CONTENT
Excitement, anticipation, anxiety – back-to-school time is filled with many emotions for both kids and parents. By planning ahead, parents can make gearing up for the start of the school year a fun experience that eases the transition while boosting enthusiasm.
1. Set a schedule now New teachers, classmates, homework and other challenges may create some apprehension and nervousness during the first couple weeks of school. Stay positive and explain that some anxiety is normal and that everyone needs time to adjust to new things. Help reduce stress by creating a daily routine before school. Checklists and charts allow children to be organized and get into a schedule. For instance, a set time for homework, snack time, free time and bed time are good things to have on a schedule.
2. Shop for school supplies together Seeing all the new trends and designs that stores have to offer for back-to-school supplies can be really exciting for children. Allow them to personalize their supplies and feel excited about using them. A few new outfits also provide kids with a boost of encouragement and confidence for the new school year.
3. Hold a family celebration Start an annual tradition that
celebrates the start of the school year. For example, have a family cookout with hotdogs and s'mores the weekend before school starts. This helps build excitement for the new school year, but also gives them a relaxed setting to talk about any back-to-school anxiety they may be feeling.
4. Set up a homework area This area should be organized, quiet and well-lit. You should also allow your child to personalize this space to make it more appealing and fun, without providing distractions.
5. Stock up on sensible snacks After a long day at school, kids are hungry and need snacks that satisfy them through all their homework assignments and other afterschool activities. Stock up on a variety of wholesome, nonperishable snacks that you can keep on hand year-round.

6. Review what the school requires Review all medical documents that pertain to annual physicals and immunizations and get the information to the school for your child's file.

Doing this ahead of time helps ease back-to-school stress for Mom and Dad, too.

In Coweta, great education within everyone’s grasp
How parents can get involved at school
which has a projected opening of fall 2014. One of the jewels in the CCSS crown is The Centre for Performing and Visual Arts, a 1,000-seat, state-of-the-art performance hall featuring student exhibition space, instruction and master classes in all fine arts concentrations. When the 2012-13 school year opens Aug. 6, Coweta schools will continue a system-wide technology overhaul as well as begin to implement new curriculum. Georgia has joined with 47 other states to develop a set of core standards for K-12 intended to provide a consistent framework for student success in college and/or the 21st century workplace, and CCSS administrators and educators have been preparing and training since last year to implement English language arts and mathematics portions of the new Common Core Curriculum. Central Educational Center (CEC), a charter school serving high school students through career and college-based instruction and industry partnerships, is a national model and a basis for Georgia’s 25 new career academies. Beginning this year, CEC will pilot an eighth-grade program for students from each of Coweta’s six middle schools. In addition, CEC – founded in 2001 as a joint venture with West Georgia Technical College – will continue to provide hundreds of students each year with dual-enrollment opportunities. CCSS high schools also are working with other colleges and universities, including the University of West Georgia’s Newnan Center, to expand dualen roll ment prog ra ms i n the upcoming year. Dual-enrollment allows qualifying high school juniors and seniors to earn college credit while working towards their high school diplomas.

By REBECCA LEFTWICH rebecca@newnan.com
As its population has grown exponentially over the past 20 years, Coweta County has emerged as a respected – and widely recognized – center of educational diversity. From public programs including traditional, charter and cyber schools to private academies, state-funded pre-kindergarten and a home school co-op supported by hundreds of families, educational opportunities to match all life and learning styles abound. More than 22,000 students currently are educated on 31 Coweta County School System (CCSS) campuses: 19 elementary schools, six middle schools, three high schools and a charter career academy serving students from those high schools. Coweta schools consistently rank among the topperforming schools in Georgia in terms of student achievement, and its schools and educational leaders frequently receive several top honors. In 2012, Lee Middle School was recognized as a national Lighthouse School to Watch and Central Educational Center was named a Georgia Innovator by the Southern Growth Policy Board. Dr. Laurie Barron of Smokey Road Middle School, Georgia’s Middle School Principal of the Year, also is one of the three finalists for the National Middle Level Principal of the Year award. Despite budget crises caused by tough economic times throughout Georgia and the nation, Coweta schools have suffered no cuts in personnel, programs or services. While other districts have been forced to rearrange or subtract from school schedules to make up budget shortfalls, CCSS educational days and hours have remained intact. Extensive renovations and modifications – including a remodeling of historic Drake Stadium – are nearly complete at the county’s oldest high school, Newnan High, and preliminary planning has begun for the county’s newest school, Corinth Road Middle,
ter schools, “schools of choice” which are tuition-free with student admission determined by lottery. Each charter school is governed independently and unlike traditional public schools, each charter school must demonstrate student success, or risk losing its charter. Odyssey School in Newnan (www.odysseycharterschool.net) was approved in 2001 by the Georgia Board of Education, the first state-established charter school in Georgia. The school opened in 2004 with more than 100 students in grades K-5 and currently serves grades K-8. Coweta Cha r ter Academy i n Senoia (www.cowetacharter.org), which serves grades K-7, was established by the Georgia Charter Schools Commission in 2010. Coweta students, along with others from throughout Georgia, have another non-traditional public school option in cyber schooling, or virtual learning. Through Georgia Cyber Academy (www. k12.com/gca) and Connections Academy (www.connectionsacademy.com/georgia-school), tuitionfree programs allow students to learn in a variety of settings using a combination of computer-based and textbook curriculum. Families may choose from among several highly rated private Coweta County schools, including The Heritage School, Carolyn Barron Montessori School, Trinity Christian School and Heritage Christian School, or they may join hundreds of other local families who have chosen to take responsibility for their children’s educations through home-schooling. Approximately 330 local homeschooling families are members of Eagles Nest Christian Home Educators Association (http:// www.enchea.org/), which offers parent-taught co-op classes, field trips, support, clubs and activities, retreats and even proms and graduation for families who have opted out of traditional education. With the wide variety of opport u nities available in Coweta County, a great education is within everyone’s grasp.

Georgia optometrists and educators say back-to-school checklist should include trip to eye doctor By GEORGIA OPTOMETRIC ASSOC. ATLANTA, GA
Parents and students throughout Georgia are crossing items off their back-to-school checklists, but most are missing an important task to ensure learning success – a visit to the eye doctor for a comprehensive eye exam. “Healthy vision is critical to learning and excelling in school,” said Dr. Tom Spetalnick, president of the Georgia Optometric Association. “Comprehensive eye exams should be performed to detect problems like astigmatism, eye coordination and moderate amounts of farsightedness, conditions that can prohibit optimal learning.” “Educators know that giving children access to all the tools they need for a positive learning experience is essential,” said Calvine Rollins, president of the Georgia Association of Educators. “If a child can’t properly see the board or read text up close they are placed at a disadvantage. It is very important that a child’s eyes are checked each year, especially in elementary and middle school when they are growing and changing so quickly, so they can play an active role in their own education.” Studies indicate that some children with undetected vision problems can be misdiagnosed with attention deficit disorder (ADD) or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Ma ny exper ts believe that approximately 80 percent of learning comes through a child’s eyes. Reading, writing and computer work are just a few of the tasks students are expected to perform daily that require visual skills. As classrooms adopt the use of more technologically advanced tools, such as interactive blackboard presentations, the dependence on adequate visual capabilities will increase. These are the essential elements an optometrist will check during a comprehensive eye exam to make certain learning is maximized
through good vision: ■ Visual acuity is measured at several distances so students can comfortably and efficiently read, work on the computer and see the blackboard. ■ Focusing is an important skill that is tested. Eyes must be able to focus on a specific object and to easily shift focus from one object to another. This allows the child to move visual attention from a book to the blackboard and back. ■ Visual alignment and ocular motility are evaluated. Ideally, the muscles that aim each eye converge so that both eyes are aimed at the same object, refining depth perception. ■ Binocular fusion (eye teaming) skills are assessed. These skills are critical to coordinate and align the eyes precisely so the brain can fuse the pictures it receives from each eye into a single image ■ Eye tracking skills are tested to determine whether the child can track across a page accurately and efficiently while reading, and can copy material quickly and easily from the blackboard or another piece of paper. ■ Testing preschoolers’ color vision is important because a large part of the early educational process involves the use of color identification. ■ Eye-hand-body coordination, critical for handwriting, throwing a ball or playing an instrument, and visual perception, used to interpret and understand visual information like form, size, orientation, texture and color perception, are

Back To School Bus Safety Tips For Parents And Kids StatePoint
A new school year means new routines. And if your child is one of the millions of kids who ride the school bus, you should be encouraged by U.S. Department of Transportation statistics that cite it as the safest mode of transportation for children to get to and from school. Nevertheless, riding the school bus safely does require children to be aware and follow specific safety procedures. That’s why the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Chuggington, the educational animated children’s television program, have partnered to offer parents and children important school bus safety tips as part of the ‘Think Safe, Ride Safe, Be Safe!’ traffic safety campaign. Below are a few school bus safety tips to share with your children to make riding the school bus a safer experience: ■ Be especially careful around the “danger zone,” which is 10 feet in front, behind and on each side of the school bus. To avoid this area, wait for the bus at least five giant steps away from the road. ■ Wait to board the school bus
until the school bus driver says it’s safe to do so. Kids should board one at a time and use the handrails to go up and down the stairs. ■ Once on the school bus, go straight to your seat and remain sitting, facing the front of the school bus. ■ Look out for cars before getting off the school bus. Once off, take five giant steps away from the school bus.
■ Wait for the driver or crossing guard to signal it is safe to cross the street. Always look left-rightleft to make sure no cars are coming before crossing the road. Traffic safety education should be a positive, shared family experience. By following the rules, both parents and children can help make getting to and from school each day safer for everyone.

Middle schools: 10 a.m. to noon Elementary schools: noon to 2 p.m. High Schools: 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. “I love the excitement that is in the air at school on that first morning,” said Evan Horton, who is in his first year as principal of East Coweta High School. To get ready for the return of students, Horton said, “Our administrative team has been meeting throughout the summer to analyze our school achievement data, develop our school improvement plan and goals and to develop our professional learning goals for the upcoming year.” Goal-setting also is a priority for Dr. Therese Redekopp, principal of Northgate High School. “Each year, I look foward to setting goals to make the school year even better than the one before,” said Redekopp, who is in her 10th year at Northgate. To smooth the transition for parents and students, information about transportation, registration and after-school programs also will be made available. School bus routes for the 20122013 school year are posted on The Newnan Times-Herald website at www.times-herald.com. A representative of the transportation department will be available at each school during the Aug. 3 orientations and on the first day
of school to provide information on bus routes. Parents who wish to sign their children up for the Coweta County School System’s (CCSS) t u it ion-ba sed A f t e r School Program will be able to do so Aug. 1-3. The program is filled on a space-available basis. New students are registered at the Registration Center, which is located at 167 Werz industrial Drive in Newnan, off the M i l l a r d Fa r m e r I n d u s t r i a l Boulevard/Highway 34 bypass near Bullsboro Drive. To register a child for school, contact the Central Registration Center at 770-554-5551 for an appointment. More information about registration and printable registration forms can be found online at www.cowetaschools.org/registration.
