Dalton Public Schools administers the FITGeorgia fitness assessment in compliance with Georgia State Board Rule 160-4-2-.12, which requires all school districts to implement a fitness assessment approved by the Georgia Department of Education. City Park's fourth and fifth grade students will take the assessment on February 23-24.
FITGeorgia is a state-developed fitness assessment designed to evaluate multiple components of student health and physical fitness. The program replaces the former FITNESSGRAM platform and aligns with Georgia’s health and physical education standards.
FITGeorgia assesses the following areas: • Healthy Body Range • Aerobic Capacity • Flexibility • Muscular Strength • Muscular Endurance
These components provide a comprehensive snapshot of a student’s physical well-being and serve as a foundation for promoting lifelong health and fitness habits.
Who Participates and What Is Assessed
Grades 4–12: Students are required to complete and report on all five components of the FIT Georgia assessment. The data collected through FITGeorgia serves a variety of educational and public health purposes.
For more information about the FITGeorgia assessment, visit the Georgia Department of Education’s overview at: Georgia Fitness Assessment Overview
How You Can Help:
Make sure your child wears comfortable clothes and sneakers on P.E. days and Assessment Days
Encourage a good night’s sleep before testing days.
Remind them to eat a healthy breakfast and drink plenty of water.
Cheer them on and celebrate their effort — trying their best is what matters most!

Good Afternoon families,
We want to make you aware that due to the Dalton State Homecoming Parade taking place in downtown Dalton on Friday, February 20, the Dalton Public Schools After School Program (ASP) at City Park will not operate that afternoon.
The scheduled street closures connected to the parade will prevent us from running ASP as usual. As a result, ASP services will not be available on February 20.
We understand this change may require adjustments to your afternoon plans, and we sincerely appreciate your flexibility. Please make arrangements for your child to be picked up at regular dismissal time.
If you have any questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s school. We are always happy to help.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding.

We’re kicking off our excitement for the upcoming Book Fair with a little PAWetry!
Poetry is such a powerful (and fun!) way to build a love of reading. It helps children hear rhythm and rhyme, play with language, and experience stories in a creative new way. Poems invite imagination, spark joy, and remind us that reading can be both meaningful and MEOWgical!
And speaking of magical…
Our Scholastic Book Fair will be at City Park Elementary March 2–6, and it will serve as our school’s Read Across America Celebration! This special week is all about celebrating the joy of reading, exploring new stories, and growing lifelong readers.
Whether your child loves graphic novels, mysteries, sports stories, funny chapter books, or picture books to read together at bedtime, there will be something for everyone!
We can’t wait to celebrate reading with our students and families. Mark your calendars — it’s going to be a week full of stories, smiles, and school spirit!
