Kaleidoscope 2019
Cobb County School District Art Show
Let's celebrate the art of Chalker children!
Join us on Saturday
January 12th 10am-12 noon for the art show opening @ Cobb Art
Place. Enclosed with this letter will be the pertinent information. We
hope to see you there!
In
a concerted effort to provide a snapshot overview of the kinds of visual
art productions that are created across all grade levels in Chalker’s
Visual Arts Program, I selected several artworks to serve as a pinnacle
for display. Exhibition space is limited due to participation from every
school in Cobb. We are so pleased to have the following students
represent our school at the county wide art show where our art will be
featured at the Cobb Art Place off Sandy Plains Road.
Kindergarten: Galen Carswell, Keegon Cox, Camryn Orser, Jayden
Badillo-Diaz
1st
Grade: Beth Bloodworth, Eva Prelac
2nd
Grade: Quinn Downs, Zoe Sherren
3rd
Grade: Julia Rodriguez, Maddy Samples
4th
Grade: Carson Klein, Divya Joshi, Maggie Willmont
5th
Grade: Jennifer Tavares, Charlotte Miller, Violet Thaiss
Later in the year, we will have our own school wide artshow here at
Chalker where everyone’s art will be included in our gym for exhibition.
Standby for further information as that event approaches. In the
meantime come out and support the visual arts and support our Chalker
representatives. The art will be on display this month at the Art place
for the duration of the month. I want to thank the Art Place on behalf
of our Chalker community for this opportunity to exhibit.
Please field any questions my way.
Thank You,
Mr.

Student Birthday Celebrations
Parents,
Thank you for taking the time to review the following school policy which can be found in the Chalker Parent / Student Handbook.
For children’s birthdays, treats may be brought during lunch time only, for the teacher to distribute to the students. We are
promoting a more health conscience approach to birthday treats and ask that you consider bringing mini cupcakes or something
more nutritious. Please do not bring party favors, balloons, etc. to the classrooms as this can interrupt valuable
instructional time.
Please coordinate all birthday treats beforehand with the classroom teacher so we can address any
student allergies.
We appreciate your support of this policy as we want to work
with you so that all students can participate in these special
treat days.
Thank you!

Dear Parents and Guardians,
Did you know that State Child Protective Services has a
policy regarding lack of adequate supervision for children?
State Policy states
that children, ages 13 and above, can act as babysitters for
other children. Children, ages 9 – 12, can occasionally be
left unsupervised for brief periods of time. Children 8
years old and younger should never be left home alone.
Of course, a specific child’s immaturity and behavior
may necessitate adult supervision.
