Dear Parents and Guardians, 

We are delighted to warmly welcome you and your family as we embark on an exciting journey together. Colquitt County School District is excited to announce that Vereen is joining the Packer family! It is with great enthusiasm and anticipation that we prepare to welcome students.

As parents, you play a crucial role in shaping the success of our school community, and we are thrilled to partner with you to provide an enriching and supportive educational environment for your child. Our dedicated team of educators has been hard at work preparing a dynamic curriculum, fostering a culture of respect, and creating engaging learning experiences tailored to our students' diverse needs. 

At Vereen, we are committed to nurturing each child’s emotional, social, and intellectual growth, empowering them to reach their full potential. We believe in the power of collaboration between home and school, and we encourage open communication and involvement from our parents at every step. 

We understand that transitions can be both exciting and challenging, and we are here to support you and your child throughout this process. We invite you to join us in creating a vibrant and welcoming school community where every child feels welcomed, supported, and inspired to excel. Together, we will build a foundation for success.

Our vision is to create a nurturing and transformative environment where every student, regardless of their challenges, is empowered to reach their full potential. We envision a community where holistic well-being, individualized therapeutic support, and academic excellence intersect, guiding each student on a path of personal growth, resilience, and lifelong success.

1. Implement evidence-based therapeutic practices to improve students' emotional regulation, coping skills, and overall mental health.

2. Equip students with the social skills necessary for building and maintaining healthy relationships, both within and outside the school environment.

3. Establish a school culture that is safe, supportive, and inclusive, where every student feels valued and respected.

4. Build strong relationships with families and the wider community to support student learning and well-being.
