                              WATCH DOGS

                             MISSON

WATCH D.O.G.S. (Dads Of Great Students) is an innovative program of the National Center for Fathering focusing on prevention of violence in our nation’s schools by using the positive influence of fathers and father-figures for a two-fold purpose: 

1)       to provide an unobtrusive presence in the schools, and

2)       to be a positive and active role-model for students at their school.

Who

Fathers, step-fathers, grandfathers, uncles and other male adults are asked to spend at least one day at their students school volunteering.

Contact

If you are interested in becoming a “WATCH  D.O.G.”, please contact:  Kathy Barela at Kathy.barela@cobbk12.org or at 770-819-2513.

School Strategic Plan

As a Mableton Student I promise to:

• Always do my personal BEST
• Make safe CHOICES
• Be a RESPONSIBLE student
• Become a LIFELONG LEARNER.

Mableton will:

• Provide a safe and positive environment
• Enable students to achieve their personal best
• Encourage responsible, productive citizens
• Inspire life long learning

We believe the following statements to be true about Mableton Elementary and our mission as educators:

• Every child can learn
• Each child should be provided a safe, nurturing, and educationally challenging environment.
• We will work together as a learning community to allow all shareholders input into the success of Mableton Elementary.

Parents,

When we have inclement weather issues, please know that decisions regarding early dismissal are posted on the Cobb County website, on WSB TV, and radio AM 750. Although teachers have called in the past, teachers will not be calling to inform you of early releases in the future. We will be using the inclement weather forms filled out at the beginning of the year and our standard dismissal procedures. If you need to make a change as to how your child should go home in case of any other inclement weather issues, please submit a note to your child's teacher. The After School Program, After School Activities, and Boys' and Girls' Club will always be closed when Cobb County Schools close early due to weather. Remember our standard dismissal procedures to ensure student safety are as follows:

* Transportation changes cannot be accepted over the phone

* We cannot dismiss students to people who are not on the registration card

* The person picking up in carpool will need a Mableton carpool tag. If they do not have one they will need to come into the office and show ID

* When picking up students from the office, be prepared to show ID

You can add people to your registration card by stopping in office or sending in a note regarding the changes.

When there is the possibility of inclement weather, please make an effort to listen to the stations listed above. During this time ALL staff is needed to ensure student safety by checking ID's, calling rooms, and helping with the dismissal.

As always, thank you for supporting Mableton!
