Principal's Message

r

Good afternoon, Spartan Families, 


Elective registration for the 2024-2025 school year will be held February 5 – February 13. It is important for all students to make informed decisions about their course selections for the year. The schedule is created, and class section needs identified based on the course requests submitted during this registration window. Requests for changes will not be honored in the fall.  Students are expected to keep their initial course selections. Students will receive a copy of the Elective Registration Worksheet on February 2 as well as a copy of their transcript. To register for electives, students will select eight (8) elective courses in order of preference. Please keep in mind students can be placed in their (8) elective option.

Registration for academic (core) classes will be held February 5 – February 9. Teachers will speak with students about their recommended academic core placements. Each content area has specific placement requirements, including  honors and Advanced Placement courses. Students and parents who disagree with the teachers recommended placement should speak with the teacher for additional information. A waiver will be available in the spring. There is a flyer below with information about our Career Pathways. 

 

Information about tickets for graduation may be found below in the senior section of the newsletter. 
 
 
All Juniors and Seniors are encouraged to check the information in the Campbell News below for the Junior/Senior Prom. 

 Parents are reminded that students should not be dropped off before 7:30 AM unless it has been requested by a teacher or coach and they will remain with that adult. Students are also expected to leave the building no later than 4 PM unless they are under the supervision of a teacher or coach. 

Best regards,
Dr. Watkins

Campbell News

Please help congratulate our December Students of the Month. These students and their parents were honored last week with a breakfast for displaying our Core Values of being Committed, Honorable, and Strong. They were nominated by the English language arts and Social Studies teachers. 

Please help congratulate Cobb County's Athlete of the Week- Brooke Suttle- Varsity Basketball Player. Brooke is a great example both in the classroom and on the court. She is highly thought of by her peers and her teachers. She is a knowledgeable and humble player who could play for any college program. 
Brooke has a 4.318 GPA and is taking her talents and abilities to the University of Pennsylvania.  She is one of the top 10 senior basketball players in the state as recognized this past Sunday in the Atlanta Journal. She is also listed as one of the top 40 basketball players by the Atlanta Tipoff Club. She just scored her 1000th point a couple of weeks ago (on a team that has a few good scorers which is harder to do when there are more than 1 or 2 good players on the team). She was the MVP for the 2023 Campbell Holiday Classic Tournament. Brooke was the MVP for our team overall last year and is in a long line of great Campbell lady Spartan basketball players. 



Here are a few pictures from our Hoopcoming Court at Friday's basketball game. 

There is an End of Course flyer below to inform parents and students about the EOCs occurring later on this semester. If you have any questions, please contact Antwane.Nelson@cobbk12.org

Additionally, there is an AP Exam registration flyer in the attachments below.

Please have your student review this prior to their appointment: 10th Grade Course Options 24-25.pdf

11th grade  - Your students will begin IB Language Orals next week, so the nerves are likely high. Remind them to take their teacher's lead on how to prepare. They're going to be fine. 

12th grade - This is the tough part - keeping the focus on school and finishing strong, even when many have been accepted to school. Ask students where they are on their IAs and Extended Essay (hint: they should have their Viva Voce scheduled prior to Jan. 31st).

Here at Campbell Theatre, we believe that the best way for students to learn about theatre is to see it and do it! So, we have three field trips this semester that are open to ALL students even if they aren't in theatre! Furlough’s Paradise 2/29 - (10th - 12th grade ONLY)
