Update on church parking lot: Work continues on the church lot and we hope to have 40 parking spaces released on August 15th, and the remaining 30 spaces after Labor Day. Some seniors assigned to the church lot were relocated to spaces on campus and were informed of those new assignments. Regrettably, other seniors will need to wait for further word, but we are hopeful they will be able to park by August 15th. We appreciate your continued patience. If you have questions, please contact Ms. LaVangie at pamela.lavangie@cobbk12.org or 770-578-3225 extension 234.
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 $6.00. Your child may pay their Junior/Senior 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!
