from Principal
Hello, again! Before I go further, allow me to
officially share that East Cobb
Middle School has successfully met all the requirements
of Adequate Yearly
Progress (AYP)! This accomplishment is the result of a
partnership between students, parents and guardians,
faculty, support staff, administrators and our
community, and as such, this achievement belongs to all
of us. We have much to celebrate!
During the 2009-2010 school year, we will maintain our
commitment to working together as a community focused on
excellence, growth, and mutual respect; we will continue
to be guided by our behavior management plan, we will
maintain our dedication to recognizing and building our
strengths; and as always, the Georgia Performance
Standards (GPS) curriculum will continue guiding all of
our educational strategies.
In addition, this year our faculty will focus on the
implementation of standards-based classrooms, building
relationships with all stakeholders, and engaging
students in their learning.
I urge all ECMS students to take advantage of the
resources available to support their academic
achievement.
Resources like Accelerated Reader, Skills Tutor and
Online Assessment.
Also, students are encouraged to read a minimum
of 20-minutes a day and review basic math facts daily.
Finally, in order for any student to succeed in school,
parents need to be actively involved in their children’s
learning and the activities of the school. The Parent
Compact sent home is part of our Title 1 program; it
outlines the responsibilities of student, teacher, and
parent/guardian for improving student achievement and to
achieve the states high standards.
Our Parental Involvement Policy at East Cobb
Middle School fosters a strong home-school relationship.
Our goal is to inform and involve parents and the
surrounding community to help our students to be
successful in school and attain the skills necessary for
daily life.
It is my hope that you will find this year’s learning
focus a practical and positive experience for your child
and I look forward to working with you throughout the
year.
Tiffany M. Honoré
