Please Take the Parent Survey!!
 

Parent Survey on Class Size - Share What it Means to Your Student!

 

The East Cobb County Council of PTAs (ECCC PTA), which is made up of the 35 East Cobb County PTAs -- including the Walton PTSA, has created a SHORT SURVEY ON CLASS SIZES to determine how parents feel about class sizes, and how class sizes impact their child's learning experience. The survey will stay open until the last day of school.  The survey is anonymous and only the final analysis of data will be shared in the fall.   We hope that the surveys will provide meaningful information, which may be helpful to our decision makers when establishing education policy. The more completed surveys we receive, the better our analysis will be.

  
PLEASE take a moment and fill out this short survey -- here is the link.
 

Your input and insight are invaluable.  If you have questions, send them to [email protected].  Thank you for your time.

Attention All Seniors and Their Families!!
  Your Senior Evening of
Inspiration is Monday, May 19th at 7:00 pm at the Roswell Street
Baptist Church.  You won't want to miss this great evening with your
classmates.
Volunteers Needed for Book Room
 The Book room is in need for volunteers to collect books next week.  No experience needed!  Please sign up on the below link on Signup Genius!  Thanks in advance. 
 
Textbook Collection
Parents, please encourage your kids taking AP exams to turn their books into the book room as soon as their AP exam is over.  The B-Hall book room is open every day from 8:00-10:00.  If they are in an AP math or physics class, the book needs to be turned into the C-Hall book room.  That book room will be open in the morning before school.  This is a change from years past.

 

Many times students wait until all their finals are over to turn in books.  This makes our lines very long.

A Message From the Walton Clinic
