News, Resources and Volunteer Opportunities

Thank you to the Walton Community for supporting the PTSA on going Paperless with our new online system, www.waltonptsa.org. We appreciate all your support and donations and look forward to another great year at Walton High School. Parents, don't forget if your company matches donations to submit the proper paperwork. Also, if you would like to be included in the 2015-16 Walton High School Directory, please have your information on our website by August 23, 2015.
From the Administration: The Administration would like to thank you for your patience and support the first week of school. We realize that the parking and carpool procedure is new, as well as the new entrance to the building. Visitor parking is in spaces B130 - B139 and signs have been ordered and will be installed soon, making it easier for you to negotiate the parking lot. Thank you for your continued patience and support.
Volunteers Needed: Volunteers are needed to help at Walton with school pictures on Tuesday, August 11, Thursday, August 13, and Friday, August 14. Volunteers will receive a free picture package for their student. If you are able to help any time between 8:30 am - 3:15 pm on any of these days, please email Ms. Manheim at Roberta.Manheim@cobbk12.org. Thanks!
AP Human Geography meeting: There will be a meeting on Monday, August 10th in the Walton Theater immediately following Freshman Math Night for AP Human Geography parents. The meeting is geared toward parents for whom this will be their first child in an AP class at Walton but all parents are welcome to attend. There is too much information for us to explain in a 5-minute period at Open House and we have gotten positive feedback about such meetings in the past. We welcome any and all parents who want more information about the class.
Vocabulary and Class Fee Information: The front office will not be able to accept the School Sales Forms that were used during Orientation to purchase items from the school and pay class dues. If your child did not purchase their Vocabulary books during orientation, he/she may purchase it during their English class. Books will cost $20. If your child is a Senior taking AP Literature, the price will be $6.50. Your child may pay their Jr/Sr. Dues in the Front office. This fee is paid once during your student's junior OR senior year and includes Prom tickets for junior and senior year, Senior Breakfast, Senior Picnic, Graduation expenses & other class activities. This fee is $80. You may pay for the PSAT test during October (10th grade test fees are paid by the county). Remember, no credit cards are accepted! Please send cash (correct change, please) or a check for each item. Thank you for your cooperation! Spirit Shop: Visit the Spirit Shop for all your Walton spirit wear! The Spirit Shop is located next to the Commons and is open most Fridays from 10:30 - 1:30. We will also be open during Open House on August 19th. Although Target, Walmart and Kroger are selling Walton spirit wear, none of the profits from those sales go back to the school. If you purchase from the Spirit Shop, all profits benefit Walton. Please support the Spirit Shop!! Volunteers needed for WEB attendance: Would you like to get involved at Walton this year? Join the WEB Volunteer committee and get the opportunity to interact with students, staff and parents. You would be involved in checking students out of school on WEB days and learn about some of the inner workings of the school. As a volunteer, you may choose between two convenient afternoon shifts. WEB is typically on Wednesdays and begins at 12:45 to 3:45PM. WEB is an excellent opportunity for the students to catch up on their studies and get one on one help from their teachers. Walton relies on parent volunteers to make this valuable time possible. Please consider joining the WEB Volunteer committee. Thank you! You can email Martha Stevens at mangelstevens@gmail.com or sign up at the link below here.
Volunteers needed for the Media Center: The Media Center has volunteer opportunities available for Inventory and for WEB days. Completing inventory helps our media center ensure they have the books and resources needed by our students available to them. Please sign up or a shift here. For WEB days you would be involved in checking students in and out of school. To sign up for WEB duties, please click here.
