How should I address concerns at school?
In our school district, we care about each and every student. We also believe that open and honest communication between parents and teachers is a key to student success. Thank you for partnering with your child’s teacher and school to address any concerns.
- Teacher - First, talk to your child’s teacher or a counselor at school for assistance. Most concerns are resolved at the classroom level.
- Assistant Principal - If the concern is not resolved at the classroom level, please visit with your child’s assistant principal.
- Principal - If working with the AP does not adequately address the issue, please meet with the school principal.
- Cluster Superintendent - If the issue persists, please call 678-301-6000, and ask to speak to the cluster superintendent who is assigned to the school your child attends.
- Chief of Schools - If, after following steps one through four, your concern has not been resolved to your satisfaction, please contact the Chief of Schools for School Improvement and Operations.

May I bring in outside food during my child's lunch?
We support the Wellness Program and therefore ask that you do not bring fast food into the school.
Birthdays are exciting for students. If parents want to bring a treat in for the class, it must be given out at lunchtime. Store-bought treats brought in for the class should be pre-arranged with your child’s teacher and may only be shared with your child’s class. Please be aware of allergy restrictions in your child’s class when selecting treats. (No balloons are permitted.)

How do I notify the school of a transportation change?
A note from a parent/guardian (signed and dated with the date of the change of transportation), is required for any change to be made. This includes one day changes of transportation (i.e. bus rider to car rider/car rider to walker/bus rider to daycare, etc...)
If the child will be making a permanent change, the parent must fill out a county change of transportation form. We cannot accept a note for a permanent change but must have the parent/guardian either visit the front office or go to MyPaymentsPlus to fill out the form.

Who can pick up my child from school?
Anyone picking up your child must be on the student's emergency check-out list. You can update your emergency contact information through the Parent Portal or by contacting the Front Office.
