OPEN HOUSE: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2009
I want to remind parents again that Open House is on Tuesday at 7:00 P.M. I called every student’s parent/guardian in my homeroom today and enjoyed talking with some of you and left messages for those who were not home.
I hope that each of you will be able to attend. This is a wonderful opportunity for teachers to share contact information and discuss agenda, homework, and makeup work procedures to help parents better understand how to help us make this year a success for their child.
During Open House you will receive your child’s schedule from their homeroom teacher, then have an opportunity to rotate through their daily schedule to briefly meet all their teachers. I am looking forward to meeting you all again!
We really appreciate your support ( : See you on Tuesday!

Students are coming home with a Cobb County Folder. There are many items to read. On the right hand side are 5 forms, which need to be returned by Friday. The student information form and emergency form needs to be turned in by tomorrow if at all possible.
As far as supplies go for homeroom, the one item I really need brought in by every child is a box of kleenex. Any other items I need will be posted later this week.
