Attention Parents/Guardians:

If a parent or guardian needs to contact their student during the school day they are encouraged to contact the front office and a message will be delivered to the student. Please do not contact your student during the school day through the use of text messages and cell phones.

Thank you for your cooperation with this matter.

Attention Students and Parents:

Please review the new tardy policy that replaces page 18 in the current student handbook.

NEW STUDENT RELEASE POLICY

In an effort to ensure the safety of our students and due to the increased volume of early dismissal calls, we have made the following change to our student release policy. Effective October 20th, parents will no longer be able to call the attendance office and request a check out for a student.  North Cobb now requires a written request or personal appearance by the parent before dismissing the student.

Students who need to leave school before regular dismissal must bring a note from their parent or guardian stating the reason for early dismissal.  Included in this note should be the telephone number where the parent can be reached during the morning.  This note should be brought to the attendance office prior to advisement.

If a note is not sent, the parent will need to check out their student in person with proper identification.

Thanks for your cooperation.

PINNACLE INTERNET VIEWER

Parents who still need to pick up their Pinnacle (PIV) access codes may do so any school day from 7:45-3:25. Per Cobb County policy, parents must present a photo ID in order to pick up PIV access codes.

Students received their access codes to Pinnacle during homeroom on Monday. The student PIV works just like the parent PIV, except that students can only view their own individual grades and attendance, while parent access allows the parent to view all of their high school students' information.

Attention Parents/Students:

Please click here to access the Georgia Department of Education Online Assessment System

Logon ID: gradehs
Password: gradehs

OAS for Students:

The OAS enables students in Georgia's public schools to access tests that consist of the same kinds of questions as appear on the state's assessments in Reading, English/Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies in the Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests (CRCT), the End of Course Tests (EOCT), and the Georgia High School Graduation Tests (GHSGT). After taking an assessment, students can view reports aligned to the state curriculum that show instructional strengths and needs.

OAS for Parents:

Parents can access reports from tests their children have taken by logging in as the student and viewing reports. Also, parents are informed when teachers share reports on their child's success on assessments. Reports are all aligned to the state standards so success on these assessments shows ability on the state curriculum.
