About CELA
Georgia’s Pre-K Program was established in 1993 to provide Georgia’s four-year-old children with high-quality preschool experiences. The goal of every Georgia Pre-K classroom is to provide students with the learning experiences they need to prepare for kindergarten. This unique program, funded by the Georgia Lottery for Education, is expected to serve over 84,000 children in this school year. Calhoun Pre K has 10 classes and serves 212 students. We believe in learning through play. We have a highly structured curriculum built around the GELDS (Georgia Early Learning and Development Standards). All lessons are presented through developmentally appropriate activities.
Junior Jacket Academy
This year JJA serves the needs of students ages 2-4 years old. The goal of each Junior Jacket preschool classroom is to provide students with the learning experiences they need to be successful and ready to learn in Pre-K and beyond. Our teachers and assistants are experienced in the needs of our youngest learners and provide lessons and activities focused around the GELDS (Georgia Early Learning and Development Standards). Providing a developmentally appropriate and safe learning environment for preschoolers is our top priority in Junior Jacket Academy.

Health Clinic

CELA School NurseLocated on campus from 7:15 am - 1:15 pm, and is shared with the other schools in the system when needed. The school nurse is licensed and is available to our students for such things as illness, injuries, reference information, vision/hearing screenings, etc. Office hours are posted at the nurse’s office, and the main office can reach the nurse at all times. Students must have a clinic record filled out and signed by a parent/guardian to receive services at the clinic.

Allergies: Please be aware there are several students with food allergies. Some of these allergies are severe. Please do not share any food items with others. Also, please remember, when providing snacks for parties or food items for classroom assignments, check with the teacher for food allergies in your child’s classroom. A peanut-free and shellfish-free area will be available during all lunch periods. Please do not sit in this area unless you are free of peanuts, peanut products, or shellfish.
