Principal's Message

Good afternoon, Spartan Families,
Parents/guardians, the scheduling team is preparing for the 2024-2025 school year. Monday, March 25, 2024, we will begin our Course Preview for next school year. Course Preview week affords parents an opportunity to request a change if you disagree with the teachers’ recommended placement (i.e. On-Level to Honors, Honors to AP, Honors to On-Level) or if you need to make a change to replace an elective (move an alternate to a primary only). We will not renumber elective selections. There is more information in the attachment below. We hope that all of our families have a safe and enjoyable Spring Break starting April 1-5. Please note that when we return on Monday, April 8, that is an Early Release Day due to the eclipse.
Parents, please note that when coming to the office to check out your student or communicate with the front office staff, there is a new doorbell system. A picture ID must be shown and there are signs to assist you.
Message from the Attendance Office
Excused vs. Unexcused Absences: Students are required to obtain a pass from their teacher and report to the school nurse if they are feeling ill during the instructional day. The school nurse will contact the parent if it is determined the student should go home for the day. These absences are considered excused and coded AEC. If a student calls/texts a parent for pick up and does not report to the clinic first, the absence from class(es) is unexcused. Students will not have the option to visit the clinic for the nurse to assess after the parent has arrived and have the absence excused.
On special occasions, such as Valentine’s Day, all early checkouts will require a doctor’s excuse to have the absence coded excused. We encourage all students to remain in school for the full day unless they are not feeling well. We want to limit early checkouts and maximize instructional time.
Parents are reminded that students should not be dropped off before 7:30 AM unless it has been requested by a teacher or coach and they will remain with that adult. Students are also expected to leave the building no later than 4 PM unless they are under the supervision of a teacher or coach.
March Trade Talks flyer is in the attachments below and the information is being summarized: March 27- Trucking/Auto, Culinary & Barbering/Cosmetology In order to attend any of the sessions, students must scan the QR code or click to provide your information.

The combined Symphonic/Concert Band received straight Superiors. The bands represented Campbell very professionally and the comments from the judges and fellow directors/students have been very complimentary. Congratulations to all for a job well done!

Attention Seniors and Senior Parents. If you have not ordered your graduation announcements, you may do so through www.ATLgrad.com. Announcements will be mailed to the student's home to let family and friends know of their graduation. Additional information can be found in the attached flyer below. Commencement Ticket Information: Seniors and their families can log into the Student Portal (www.studentportal.cobbk12.org) to view the number of tickets allocated for Campbell's Commencement Ceremony. Seniors may not have received the number of tickets requested. After Spring Break, we will communicate a process with seniors to indicate that they need additional tickets and the number of additional tickets they need. Tickets will be distributed at the FINAL graduation practice. If there are enough additional tickets to distribute to graduates equitably based on the additional request, we will do so at the FINAL graduation practice in May. If you have questions, please contact Dr. Dorrough (Jennifer.Dorrough@cobbk12.org). Requests for additional tickets will NOT be accepted via email from students or parents but through the process implemented after Spring Break.
