The next content acquisition process will include

instructional approach as outlined in the Cobb Commitment, we will
consider resources that support this model and address the needs

Good News: Office 365 for all students
All CCSD students (K-12) will have access to the
Office 365 digital tools suite unless a parent previously opted out last
year. If a parent wants to confirm student access and/or ascertain
their student's Office 365 username, they can locate this information
via ParentVUE
(https://parentvue.cobbk12.org/)
Communication with parents will be as follows:
1. The "all parents.pdf" message will be sent to parents who
previously consented or provided no response to the consent emails last
school year. See attachement below.
2. The "Opt-Out Parnets. pdf" message will be sent to the small
number of parents who previously opted out last school year, giving them
information on how to opt-in. See attachement below.
3. Parents will no longer receive monthly emails
requesting they provide a consent option.
4. Schools will no longer need to send the
consent email to their parents.

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 ( 2 days ahead of time) 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.
