 The Cobb County School District, as well as all other school districts in Georgia, is required to establish a district-wide attendance protocol that details the steps schools and staff will take to report, investigate, and prosecute student absenteeism.

 Important Message from Cobb County Transportation:  

Starting Wednesday, September 28th, 2011, students will no longer be allowed to ride a different bus other than their assigned bus.  In the past students have been allowed to ride a different bus to go home with a friend or for child-care purposes.  This year, due to a reduced number of bus routes, the buses are filled to capacity and CCSD can no longer transport children who are not assigned to that particular bus.  Parents may still submit a Student Bus Pass requesting their child be allowed to get off at a different stop on their assigned bus route.  As this change has come from the Transportation Department, please direct all questions or concerns to them at 678-594-8000.  Thank you.
