New to Nickajack: PBIS
Positive Behavioral Intervention & Supports
Are your students talking about earning tickets at school for model behavior? Nickajack is excited to be implementing the new PBIS program for the school year that is a prevention oriented method used by school personnel to improve the social culture and behavioral climate of classrooms and schools.
By using positive reinforcement, modeling expected behaviors, and consistent redirection, our goal is to create students who are Respectful, Responsible, Role Models in all aspects of behavior and learning. This program is already being used through out Cobb County and the nation as a whole.
Learn more from your student's teacher, or click here for information for parents.

BACK THE JACK Kicks off 8/18!
Donate to help our school!
Have you seen the green apples on doors around the school? Every green apple means that something in that classroom - an ELMO document camera, a digital microscope, our cafeteria sound system, our computer room teacher and technology updates, etc. - was paid for by the Nickajack Foundation (NESF). Your donations raised over $60,000 last year and covered $20,000 in teacher grants!
Back the Jack, the Fall campaign to benefit NESF, will be from 8/18-9/26. Look for information in the Beat, Red Folders and online about how to donate.
Participation is key -whether you can give $10 or $1000- all donations benefit our school!
