Friday at Five
March 21, 2025
JJ Day is Friday, March 28. Students should bring money if they want to visit the concession stand.
Regretfully, we have a change in the Quarter 3 Honor Roll ceremony. Due to some structural repair in our theater at this time, we cannot have the ceremony in the theater, and therefore, are not able to accommodate parents who would usually attend the ceremony. This hurts my heart as I believe parents and the school work together as a team to see our students succeed. The ceremony will be moved to the Learning Commons, and we simply do not have the space in there to accommodate over 100 students per grade level and their parents. (That’s a great problem to have!) Parents are welcome to view the ceremony online. Go to our website for the link to view it live. The ceremony is Wednesday, March 26 at 9:30 (8th grade), 12:40 (7th grade), and 2:40 (6th grade). We apologize for the inconvenience and are working with the maintenance department to hopefully have this repaired by the end of the year.
8th Grade Families: Students received an 8th Grade Dance Information Guide today. This form has all the information you and your student need to know about the dance, including behavior criteria students must meet in order to attend the dance. Students and Guardians must sign this form and return it to the Homeroom teacher by Wednesday, March 26. A copy of this form is attached to this message. In addition to meeting the criteria outlined in the info guide, students will need three things to attend the dance: 1) A signed copy of the info guide, 2) a permission form (coming out in late April), and 3) a ticket (being sold early May)
Required Student Documents:
As part of our transition to a digital format, Cobb County is now requiring all residency documents be uploaded to ParentVUE for students. Please check your email for any messages from us regarding any required documents that your student may be missing. You can log into your ParentVUE account to add these documents or simply reply to the email with the required information. It is important to complete this process as soon as possible. Thank you for your cooperation with this task. If you have any questions or need help uploading the documents, please call the front office.
Quick Parent Survey: Daniell Middle School will take the new Georgia School Climate Survey this year. Each parent or guardian is invited to take the family version to answer questions about the current school or schools you have a child or children attending. If two or more children attend the same school, please only complete one survey for that school.
The survey measures what you think about how the school engages with families. Answers are not linked to names in any way. When typing answers, please do not give names or information that you don’t want to share with this school. Data will be shared with school leaders to help improve the school and will be published on the GaDOE website.
Please help us meet our participation goal by sharing your honest opinion on this 22-question survey. This must be completed by March 31, 2025. To take the survey, please copy and paste this link:

PBIS at Daniell Middle School: Encouraging SWARM Behavior at Home
Supporting SWARM at Home: Show Positive Leadership
At Daniell Middle School, our PBIS expectations guide students toward becoming responsible and respectful individuals. One key aspect of SWARM is showing positive leadership. This means encouraging students to take initiative, help others, and set a good example, whether they’re at home, in the community, or with friends.
How can parents support this at home?
1. Encourage your child to take on small leadership roles at home. Whether it’s helping with chores or leading a group project, these opportunities build confidence.
2. Talk about what leadership looks like outside of school—such as helping a sibling or resolving a conflict positively.
3. Be a role model by demonstrating positive leadership in your daily interactions.
Why is it important?
Demonstrating positive leadership helps build self-esteem and responsibility. It also prepares students for future challenges in school and beyond.
Questions for Parents:
• How does your child show leadership at home?
• Can you think of a recent time when your child helped others or took charge of a situation?
THANK YOU to all the students, parents, and staff members who helped with our Campus Clean Up last weekend! We appreciate you!
