Learning comes to life in Abigail Weberā€™s classroom! Students put physical science into action by designing and building mousetrap cars, applying real-world engineering to explore simple and compound machines, mechanical advantage, and energy transformation.

Through this hands-on challenge, students investigated how stored potential energy transforms into kinetic energy, analyzed balanced and unbalanced forces, and used Newtonā€™s Laws of Motion to explain how force, mass, and acceleration impact motion. A great example of creativity, critical thinking, and science in action at Dalton Public Schools!

Several of our students had a fantastic time at Special Spruces this week, a Christmas party for Dalton City and Whitfield County students. Both days featured a dance with a DJ, a delicious lunch, and a special visit from Santa. We love this community event and extend our heartfelt thanks to our teachers for their dedication to serving our students and making moments like this possible!

To support a more focused, engaged, and distraction-free learning environment ā€” and to comply with the new Georgia state law ā€” personal devices (including cell phones and smart watches) will not be permitted during the school day for Dalton Public Schools students in grades Kā€“8.

Families can still reach students and staff by calling the front office, emailing the teacher or school, or sending a message through the Dalton Public Schools app. These methods ensure clear, consistent communication while helping keep classrooms centered on learning.

Thank you for partnering with us to create a positive, distraction-free school experience for all students!
