Parking Lot Helpful Hints:

Cold temperatures and precipitation result in more parents driving their children to school. This means increased traffic during the morning and afternoon drop-off and pickup times. To ensure that all students are safe, please adhere to the following procedures:

• Upon entering school property, continue down the drive to the turn-around circle. This increases the number of cars which can que in the drive of the school, alleviating traffic on Jims Road. This procedure should be followed in the morning and the afternoon.
• The upper parking lot should be used when there is a need to park and come into the building.
• Do not double park in the parking lot.

Thank you for your assistance!

Second Step

At the beginning of the 2008-2009 school year, Mabry Middle School began piloting the Second Step© Anti-Violence program along with best practices in bullying behavior as a proactive measure. All students participated in lessons to develop our definition of bullying behavior. Our school wide definition for bullying is:

Bullying is when one or more people repeatedly harm, harass, intimidate, or exclude others. Bullying is unfair and one-sided.

If you would like more information about our program, feel free to contact Tammy White or Cindy Jackson in the counseling department.

Be There Campaign:
Cobb County has teamed up with thirteen other metropolitan school districts to promote the Be There campaign sponsored by WSB-TV.

The purpose of this campaign is to promote parent involvement in school. Studies have shown that when you connect with your child everyday, your child benefits for life. When he or she knows you care and are concerned about education, the following occurs:

• Achievement in school improves; students earn higher grades and test scores and enroll in higher-level programs
• Children want to go to school
• Courses are passes, credits earned and students are promoted to the next grade
• Self-confidence improves

To learn more about the Be There campaign, please visit their site:
