Dates to Remember
First day of School - July 31st
August 21st
- School day extended by 45 minutes
School-Day Extended 45 Minutes
on August 21 due to Solar Eclipse
Due to the solar eclipse on August 21, 2017,
the Cobb County School District will delay dismissal of elementary,
middle and high school students by 45 minutes.
The peak time to experience the solar
eclipse falls during our regularly scheduled elementary school
dismissal time. Since student safety is always our first
priority we will delay dismissal to ensure that neither students nor
employees are on the roadways during the time of the eclipse.
Subsequently, high schools and middle schools will delay dismissal
as well.
Schools will be provided with further
guidance and instructional resources as appropriate. Parents are
welcome to pick-up their child at the typical dismissal time if
needed.
For more information regarding the solar
eclipse visit the National Weather Service at

K-1 students, along with their parents, are invited to ride

Transportation
Changes Policy
It is our goal to ensure that all Nickajack
students are transported safely to their afternoon destination. To
achieve this goal, any change to your child's afternoon
transportation must be submitted in writing to our front
office staff. We will not accept any verbal requests
on the phone or any requests sent via email.
We ask parents to make all transportation
changes clear to the student before they leave home in the morning.
Parents should send a note with the change information (see below)
with the student.
However, there are times when a change is necessary after the
instructional day has begun. In these instances the request
must be in writing and faxed
to the school no later than 1:30 p.m. on the day of the change.

Kindergarten 2017-2018
Nickajack
has added two 1st grade classes to our Dual Language English/Spanish
Immersion program! Last year's Kindergartners will move up to 1st
grade and we will welcome our second group of Kindergarten students to
the program.
This unique model provides instruction and support for students in
learning both languages. Students will split their day between
instruction in Spanish and English.
-
We will continue to grow this program each year through Grade 5.
-
We will instill cultural competence and enhance communication
among our students and community.
-
Our vision and mission is to develop and honor the greatness in everyone
and help every child to become a leader.
-
Our Dual Language English/Spanish Immersion program will help students
to become bi-lingual and bi-literate in an ever changing world.
