Barrow County School System is excited to announce a partnership with ENGAGE Georgia to help support our students. ENGAGE Georgia is a free academic success program the Georgia Department of Education has made available to BCSS. The program will help students develop skills to become better students.

Parents may opt out if they choose, but BCSS does strongly encourage students to participate if their school identified them for the program.

Students who participate in the program will be assigned an Academic Success Coach who will answer questions, connect them with resources, and develop a plan to help them stay on track and engaged with their schooling.

Their coach will reach out by phone, email, text message, and more to provide support such as:
 

• Encouragement and motivation to help them stay on track with their studies
• Organization and study tips
• Technical support or assistance connecting with teachers
• Educational resources and exercises to help strengthen reading and math skills
• Referrals to local agencies and organizations that can provide social-emotional support
   

Below are some informational materials that ENGAGE Georgia has provided to help parents and guardians understand what the program is and how it will support their student(s).
