Friday at Five
September 12, 2025
Thank you to families who donated candy for the East Cobber Parade! Come celebrate our TOTY and CEOTY tomorrow morning at 10 am along Johnson's Ferry Rd in East Cobb!
Order Papa John’s Pizza through this weekend and support the Cobb Schools Foundation and Daniell! Use the unique code: CCSF33 September 8 – 14, and 20% of all pizza sales will benefit our school!
Open House is Thursday, September 18. Please join us at 6 pm in the Daniell theater. After a brief PTSA meeting, you will have the opportunity to drop into your child’s classes until 7 pm. We will not be running a schedule; it is a drop in night only. This should accommodate the parents who have students in different grade levels. Teachers will be posting a video on their CTLS pages by September 15. The video will give you an introduction to the teachers and the important details you need to know about their classes. Open House night is to meet the teacher, see the room, and introduce yourself. Be sure to have your child’s schedule pulled up on PVUE so you know which rooms to visit. Many parents ask why we do this so late. The reasoning is that we had Meet and Greet before school began, but now your student has grades and you may have questions about the way the classes run, or maybe you want to meet your child’s favorite teacher that they come home talking about every day! No matter the reason, we hope to see you on the 18th.
Note that Open House is not a time to have an individual parent/teacher conference. If you would like to have a conference with individual teachers, please email them to schedule a time. If you would like to meet with all your child’s teachers, please email our counselors to schedule this:
Cayce Pope is the 6th grade counselor and serves 7th graders with last names A- K. Cayce.pope@cobbk12.org
Lauren McAfee is the 8th grade counselor and serves 7th graders with last names L-Z. Lauren.McAfee@cobbk12.org
If you need dinner before or after Open House, please go to What A Burger and say you're from Daniell! 
Fall break is Sept. 22 – 26. No school for students.
The next JJ day is September 19. Send money for the concession with your student. We do not accept money from parents during the school day.
The Cognia Student, Parent, and Staff Surveys are designed to collect data on student academic learning and wellness during the current school year. Participation in each survey is anonymous and voluntary, and participation is highly encouraged. The survey results will provide the Cognia Accrediting Agency, Cobb County School District, and local schools with data regarding student learning environment, staff input, and parent feedback to support continuous learning. If you prefer that your student opt out of the survey, please email Nicholas.Waltz@cobbk12.org by Friday, August 22. The parent link is below and is also posted on our website. Please help us reach our participation goal by taking the survey by Friday, October 17. Thank you for your participation!

I have had some parents ask me about the survey. Here are some tips that may help you as you complete it:
• When the survey asks about Leaders or School Leadership, that is referring to the local school administration, not district administration.
• We still want your input, even if you are new to Daniell this year. Please respond according to how your experience has been so far.
Scoliosis Screening: Cobb County School District participates in the state mandated scoliosis screening annually for every 6th and 8th grader. Daniell’s screening begins October 6 for all 6th and 8th graders, unless the parent opts their student out of the screening. Attached to this message is the letter explaining the screening, as well as the Form 4400 that must be completed by parents and turned in before October 6 in order to opt out . Completed opt out forms can be emailed to Coach Lee at amber.lee@cobbk12.org or turned into the front office for Coach Lee’s attention.
7th Grade Parents: CogAT testing will take place Monday, September 15. Please ensure that your students are present and on time Monday!
IOWA testing will take place for 7th graders October 7 -10. Make ups will take place Oct. 14- 17. It is very important that all 7th graders are present during this time! A parent letter is attached to this message with more information.
Enjoy the weekend!
