Parent & Community Resources
We would like to welcome you to the Parent & Community Resource Page of the Pickens County Schools web site. We here at Pickens County Schools put a very high value on parental involvement in our children’s education. According to 25 recent studies, students whose parents are more involved than average have academic achievement rates a full 30 percent higher than other students (Henderson & Mapp, 2002). We hope you will find our resource page and its links helpful to you and your family. If you would like to find out ways to become more involved in your child’s education, please contact Amberle Godfrey at 706-253-1700, amberlegodfrey@pickens.k12.ga.us.
