Career Day
The Garrett Middle School counseling office is sponsoring a Career Day for our students on Friday, March 19 from 8:45 AM - 11:45 AM.  The theme for Career Day is The School Cannot Live Apart From the Community.  Career Day is an opportunity for students to learn about various professions.  We are seeking representatives from many different career fields to come and speak to our students.  Our goal for Career Day is to expose students to the vast variety of jobs available to them and, in doing so, help students to realize how their education ties in with their future.  If you are interested in participating, please feel free to contact Charisse Cox at charisse.cox@cobbk12.org or 770-819-2466 (ext.229) or Almeada Walker at almeada.walker@cobbk12.org or 770-819-2466 (ext.262) for more information.

Information concerning H1N1
can be found here (click here for Spanish).  The purpose of the letter is to inform parents that H1N1 is present in our community - including our schools - and that we are treating it the same way we treat all cases of influenza.

We  Believe:

• that all students are capable of meeting or exceeding state standards in all disciplines given adequate time and instructional support.
• that it is the shared responsibility of teachers, staff, administrators, students, parents, and the community to ensure learning and social success for all students.
• that the collaborative efforts of our school community will enable each student to become a responsible, contributing citizen.
