Open
House is Coming
Open house for the 2019-2020 school year
will be Thursday, August 29th. The formal open house
program will begin at 6:00 in your student's homeroom.
After a brief presentation from our Admin team (live from the
McClure news room), you will have the opportunity to follow
your student's schedule and meet briefly with their teachers.
Teachers will be talking about what goes on in their classrooms.
Due to the nature of the evening, they will not be able to discuss
individual student progress with you.
Since we are expecting a large number of
participants for the evening, we suggest that you carpool as
much as possible. Also, this is an evening for parents. We ask
that students do not attend (we just don't have the room for
everyone!). We look forward to meeting you on the 29th!

Shield is a CCSD initiative to help us keep each other safe. Our district is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for our students' learning. The
Cobb Shield
website provides information and resources for you to assist in this
initiative.
Our staff holds an annual training session for how to prepare for a
code red situation. This year the district has created an
information video for our students as well. The video was
played as a part of our morning announcements recently. The
video is titled "Keeping Each Other Safe," you
can view the video as well by
clicking here.
The video is designed specifically for middle and high school
studentsl. Take the time to watch the video and familiarize yourself with the content.
Please, be ready to have a serious discussion with your student(s) about school safety, and be prepared to answer some important questions. You may not have all the answers, but sometimes, just being willing to listen is the most important part of a conversation.

Cell Phone Policy
At McClure, we recognize the learning potential of students using
their own devices during instruction, but with that potential comes
the need for a great deal of responsibility and maturity. While cell
phones can be an important tool for your student they can also
become a distraction to learning. We require all student cell phones, electronic devices,
headphones, earbuds and airpods to
be put away by students during school hours unless they are being
used for an instructional activity. Cell phones and
electronic devices may only be used when a teacher allows it for
instructional use.
The consequences for violating the policy will be as follows:
1st Offense: Student will receive a warning, and
parents will be contacted.
2nd Offense: Student will lose their phone for the
day, and parents will be contacted.
3rd Offense: Student will lose their BYOD
privileges for the rest of the semester, parents will be required to
pick up their child's phone from the office, and the student will
receive an office referral.
Any student that does not have a BYOD sticker will have their phone
taken away, and parents will be contacted. BYOD forms are part of
the first day of school folder and must be returned before BYOD
stickers are distributed.

Help Stop the Flu from Spreading
It looks like we are heading into another round of flu cases. Influenza (the flu) is an infection of the nose, throat, and lungs caused by influenza viruses. There are
many different influenza viruses that are constantly changing. Flu viruses cause illness, hospital stays and deaths in the United States each year. The flu can be very dangerous for children. Each year about 20,000 children younger than 5 years old are hospitalized from flu complications, like pneumonia. The CCSD website has an
information page with tips to help
avoid catching and spreading the flu.

Food Finder
FoodFinderGA
is a free smartphone app developed by a Georgia public
school graduate. It is available on theApple App Store or
Google Play right now (search: foodfinderga).
The app creates a 100% anonymous, direct connection between
students who need food with their closest free food provider.
Both the FoodFinderGA app and the website -www.foodfinderga.org
- are year-round resources, but data shows a dramatic increase
in use when school is out of session, and the need for food is
greatest.

A Public Safety Reminder about
Fire Lanes at McClure
Per the Fire Marshall's Office, no one is allowed to park in a
Fire Lane, whether there is a driver in the vehicle or not,
at any time other than the following:
- 30 minutes prior to the end of the school day and 30 minutes
after the end of the school day (this does not include the
After School Program nor any other activity at the school)
-
passengers actively loading or unloading during the
day (this would cover students unloading in the morning at
the beginning of the school day)
We need to
reemphasize that the only time a vehicle would be allowed in a
Fire Lane would be to actively drop-off and/or pick-up a
student when there is no waiting. Other times, such as
after school activities would not be included. If you
are in violation of the ordinance, you run the risk of being
ticketed.
Should you have questions or concerns, please contact the
Department of Public Safety (678) 594-8620.
