High School Paperwork

All high school scheduling paperwork has been forwarded to the prospective high schools for processing.  The schools will begin the data entry and make the adjustments based on the changes requested by parents.  Over the summer a final schedule will be produced showing what classes will be when.  Final versions will be made available to students at Freshman orientation just before school starts in August.

Hign School Class Selection Final Drafts Coming Home

North Cobb class selection final drafts were passed out in homeroom this morning.  Allatoona High School mailed their forms home earlier this week.  Here are the highlights parents need to know:

• If the student isn't planning to attend North Cobb, please make a note on the paperwork and turn that back in so we can update the records.  For example, if the student is planning to attend a magnet program, just write "Attending _____ magnet program" then turn that back in.  The same is true if you know you are moving.  Please write, "Moving to _____" then return the form, that way we know where to forward records.  The same is true for Allatoona.
• A schedule that just has “lunch” on it means there is a computer problem.  Those should have been caught when the pages were sorted but one might have slipped through.  If so, have the student come to the counseling office Monday morning. 
• If parents want to make changes, write what they want dropped and what they want added in place then sign underneath.  It is clear on the paperwork once you see it.  That’s the waiver process mentioned previously.
• If no changes are desired, simply sign and return the form as is.
• Students on the Disney trip will receive their paperwork Monday in homeroom.
• The high schools would like the materials signed and returned by May 8th.
• Students should return them to homeroom teachers.
