RAD DADS
We
would like to thank all the dads who
have helped kick off our new
RAD DADS

We had a great group helping to put the

our kids with a Rock n'Roll Jumpstart
morning.
If you are interested in getting
involved, please either complete the
very short form at the link below.

automatically input the information into
a spreadsheet and we can better reach
the fathers of Murdock.
The Rock n' Roll Jumpstart morning was
awesome, but how great could it be with
tons more dads? |

New Absence Protocol
The primary goal of this attendance protocol is to address unexcused absences for students ages six to fifteen.
All students and parents/guardians are encouraged
to review the District's attendance protocol, which
details the steps schools and staff will take to
report, investigate, and prosecute student
absenteeism. Regular school attendance is a vital
part of a student's academic and future work
success.

Fire Lane Changes for
Schools
On March 13, 2012, the Cobb
County Fire Lane Ordinance was amended to include a
provision for student pick-up at schools.
The ordinance now allows a vehicle to be located in
a fire lane for 30 minutes prior to the afternoon
school end time and 30 minutes after the school end
time, as long as a driver is behind the wheel.
Cobb County school end times are available on the
Cobb County School District website.
The ordinance applies to private
schools as well.
Stopping or parking a vehicle in a fire lane at any
other time is prohibited, unless passengers are
actively loading or unloading.
Enforcement of this new provision will begin
on April 9, 2012.
Fire lanes can be identified by
“No Parking Fire Lane”
signage and/or curbing that is red in color.
Fire lane violations currently result in a fine of
$135.00. |
