School
counselors are integral to your student's success in high
school. Counselors help students organize, plan, and navigate the
road to their personal future. The counseling team at McEachern High
looks forward to working with parents and teachers every step of the
way in the student's attainment of their goals.
Please call us anytime. We look forward to working with you. Calling
ahead for appointments will save you valuable time as well as
allowing the counselor time to gather the necessary information to
answer any questions or concerns.

REGISTRATION FOR 2008-2009 SCHOOL YEAR
Registration Update:
Registration for the 2008-2009 school year will be July 28, 29,
30 and 31. First come first served.
All appointments for July 16, 22 and 24 are booked.
We will also have registration hours the week of August 4, 2008
Please see the
school check-list for
all forms and documents needed to register at McEachern High School.
Please have all immunizations up-to-date. In March of 2007 the State
of Georgia added some new booster shots to the list of required
immunizations. The Certificate of Immunization (Form 3231) must be
signed by a physician licensed under the laws of Georgia OR by a
qualified employee of a county health department. As part of the
registration process I will go onto the Georgia Registry of
Immunizations Transaction and Services (GRITS) to check if students
are approved for school attendance: Your pediatrician is responsible
for updating the GRITS system after every inoculation and booster
required by the state of all school age children.
Unfortunately, if your student comes up “Incomplete for School
Attendance” or you are missing any of the documentation, the
registration session will have to be rescheduled. So, please make
sure you have ALL documents with you at the time of registration.
IMPORTANT! Even if you are coming from a Cobb County School we will
need all the information on the “Student checklist” including
discipline reports.
STUDENTS COMING FROM HOME-SCHOOL OR A NON-ACCREDITED SCHOOL &
ENTERING 9TH GRADE
The
State of Georgia requires that students demonstrate proficiency in
reading and mathematics in gateway grades before being promoted to
grades four, six, or nine. The Cobb County School District accepts
grade placement recommendations from accredited schools; however,
the state and district require that a home schooled student or a
non-accredited private school student who wants to enroll in grades
four, six, and nine must first demonstrate state-mandated
proficiency in reading and mathematics (reading only for grade four)
with an exam equivalent to the state CRCT exam
The
district exams for these students are computer-based and must be
taken before a final grade placement can be determined. The exams
will be administered only once. Should the test results indicate a
problem, your registering Cobb school and the Cobb school your child
would have attended the previous year (if different) will review
your requested placement.
McEachern will be offering “The Performance Series.” Your student
will have to register then take the 2 proficiency test. The test
will be offered at 1:00 PM on the following dates: June 19, 26, July
10, 12, and 24. The test will take a minimum of 2 hours.
For
appointments please call 770.222.3723. If no one answers, please
leave a voicemail message and someone will return your call as
quickly as possible.
