Common Core
Georgia Performance Standards (CCGPS)
On
September 21, 2011, State Superintendent of Education,
John D. Barge, along with staff in the GA Department of
Education Curriculum and Instruction division, hosted a
web-delivered broadcast through Georgia Public Broadcasting to
introduce to all stakeholders the upcoming Common Core
Georgia Performance Standards (CCGPS).
To provide you with a brief history, the state of Georgia, along
with 47 other states, has adopted a new set of standards that
are geared towards unifying the standards that are used from
state to state and enabling students to be college & 21st
century workplace and career ready upon graduating from high
school.
All initial broadcasts and replays will be aired through this
link.
Audience: All stakeholders including staff,
parents, students and the community are invited to view this
broadcast.

Washington DC Trip 2012 - 5th Grade
March 30 - April 3, 2012
Make plans now to join us for our 2012 Spring Break trip to
Washington, DC! Questions? E-mail Sheila.Fisher@cobbk12.org
or
Patrick.Young@cobbk12.org
Effective September 7, 2010,
students will not
be permitted to return to classrooms after 2:45 pm to retrieve
forgotten items such as homework, lunch boxes, book bags, etc.
Teachers may leave the campus at 2:45 pm, therefore sending students
to rooms without someone present is a concern for our staff and for
the security of our students. Please be advised that ASP
workers and custodians will no longer be able to unlock classrooms
for parents or students. Until students become acclimated
to this procedure, we will provide daily reminders on the afternoon
announcements.
Effective October 4, 2010, Silly Bands will not be
allowed at school. Silly Bands have been the rage this school
year and students have really enjoyed them. However, they are
spending an inordinate amount of time focusing on the bands in class
by making trades, counting, and comparing them.
In other words, Silly Bands have become a serious distraction
for many of our students.
We want our students to continue to perform at their best in
order to achieve academic success, therefore,
beginning October 4th we are asking parents to remind students to
keep their Silly Bands at home and not bring them to school.
We thank you in advance for
your understanding, support, and assistance with this matter.
