Summer Resources for Students
Please be sure to check out the Student Resources tab at the top of our site for grade level, subject specific links that your child can use over the Summer. You can also visit the PICASSO link on the Cobb County Website for more resources. For fun activities, all Kincaid students know how to get to the "free time" links that are used in the Computer Lab on occasion. As always, please monitor your child when they are on the internet to make sure the content has not changed and is appropriate for your child.
Security System at Kincaid
We am pleased to inform you
that the Cobb County School District has added an
additional safety feature to the current surveillance
system that we have at Kincaid Elementary School.
Earlier in the school year, eight high definition
cameras were installed in our building.
These allow us to view activity inside and
outside of the building 24 hours per day, 7 days a week.
The cameras, in addition to the Access Control
System (electronic badge entry) that has been in place
for the past few years, work to form our strongest
system of security and supervision ever.
The new feature that will take effect on Monday,
May 6, 2013 is a “buzz-in” system at the main
entrance of our school.
This feature will keep the main entrance door
locked at all times except 7:15 – 8:10 a.m. on school
days.
Outside of that time, all guests will need to “buzz-in”.
Part of the system includes a box outside of the
main entrance door that is equipped with a door bell and
a camera.
Staff members working in the front office will receive
an alert when a guest arrives and rings the bell.
The office staff will be able to see and hear the
guest, and once the guest indicates the nature of the
visit, the office staff member will “buzz” the guest in,
asking them to sign in on the computer in the lobby and
report to the front office.
During the first several days of implementation of the
buzz-in system, we expect that we will learn and will
need to make adjustments.
We are counting on your feedback to help us know
how the system is working.
If you’d like to share your feedback, please
contact us at 770-578-7238.
We
would also like to remind all parents of the times that
are critical to efficient operation of the front door.
Your cooperation in following these times keep
students in the classroom throughout the instructional
day and prevent mistakes that can happen during the
dismissal process.
These times are:
7:15 a.m.
Doors open.
Please keep your student with you in the car
until 7:15 a.m.
7:50 a.m.
Students are expected to be in class at 7:50 a.m.
in order to avoid being marked
tardy.
1:45 p.m.
We will not allow any student checkouts after
1:45 p.m.
2:15 p.m.
Announcements and dismissal begin
3:30 p.m.
Front office is closed
Thank you so much for your continued support. Together, we keep our students safe!
Kincaid's Strategic Plan
2012-13 Student Achievement Goals
-
Students will demonstrate proficiency in math
at or above the expected grade level.
-
Students will demonstrate an increase in
knowledge in the areas of science and social
studies.
2012-13 School Performance Goal
-
Teachers will collaborate on ways to reach the
new common core curriculum. This will be done
through learning communities.
We believe that every student should be valued for the unique qualities they possess. We believe that all decisions should be based on the primary focus of student learning and success. We believe that students learn in different ways and that differentiated instruction should be provided to meet student needs. We believe that a strong foundation in reading, writing, and mathematics is essential to success in all content areas. We believe that effective collaboration within professional learning communities is an essential component of a successful school. We believe that students learn best when they have the appropriate resources available to them, including state of the art technology. We believe that a safe and civil environment promotes optimal student learning. We believe that academic success and strong character development is a shared responsibility of both the school and the parents. We believe that all students can attain character qualities and develop work habits that will assure greater success in learning.
