A message from SOUTH COBB HIGH SCHOOL

Good Morning Eagle Family,

I hope you had a great weekend.  We are now in our final month of the 2019 – 2020 school year and will continue to provide you with South Cobb news and updates regularly each week.  Please see the following items below for your information:

• Digital instruction and lessons will continue Monday through Thursday each week for the remainder of this school year.  Fridays will remain days to catch up on schoolwork and reach out to teachers for further assistance.  The last day of school is still set for May 20^th, 2020.
• Just to provide clarity, diplomas were not distributed during Cap & Gown pickup this past Friday.  Some students ordered and received commemorative souvenir plaques which were replicas of what the official diplomas will look like.  Official diplomas will not be ready until at least next month, information for obtaining diplomas will be sent accordingly.  If you still need to order a graduation Cap & Gown, it is not too late.  Go to http://highschool.herffjones.com to place your orders.
• Once yearbooks and all graduation cords have been delivered to campus, plans for pickup of those items will be communicated at that time.
• In accordance with public health guidance which continues to limit large groups of people and to best prioritize student and staff safety, Cobb Schools have postponed all in-person graduation ceremonies originally scheduled for the month of May.  While we do not know what public health guidance will allow for over the next weeks and months, we do know we WILL recognize and honor the graduating class of 2020 in a memorable way.  Both virtual and physical graduation alternatives are being considered at this time, and an update regarding such plans will be communicated by June 1^st, 2020.
• Quarantine Buddy is a student-created virtual mentorship program created by one of our students to help younger students during this time.  Please see details on our website for more information, or go directly to: https://sites.google.com/view/quarantinebuddy/home.  
• On Tuesday (5/5) from 10am – 12pm only, students can come onto campus to return books and cleanout their main lockers and their P.E. lockers.  All students must enter from the bus port entrance off Clay Road.  Students will only be allowed to exit their vehicles and enter the buildings if they are wearing masks.  All safety practices will be followed accordingly while on campus.
• We will continue partnering with the AMOS foundation serving free sack lunches for students of all ages at Orange Hill Baptist Church, Monday through Friday from 11am to 1pm.  Lunches will continue to be served through the end of this school year.
• Our bookkeeper is working diligently on student refunds and will begin sending those out soon.  It is a lengthy process, as we want to make sure those expecting refunds are receiving the appropriate amounts.

Please continue practicing all safety measures such as social distancing and wearing masks while out in public, to help flatten the curve.  If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email your child’s teachers or school administration.  Our teachers have gracefully adapted to this new way of instruction, all while taking care of their own families and households simultaneously.  The teachers at THE South Cobb H.S. are absolutely the best and are truly appreciated.  Show your child’s teachers some love during Teachers’ Appreciation Week this week.  Have a great day and stay safe!

Your Principal Perry
