GRADE REPORTS & HOME / SCHOOL COMMUNICATION Cobb County School District Administrative Rule IHAC recognizes that effective communication between the school and the home is essential to the success of students. The Board further recognizes that the delivery of information to the home is a responsibility that must be shared by school personnel and students. Parents should provide valid daytime phone numbers and update information online via ParentVue when addresses or phone numbers change. Information on how to do this can be found HERE. Students in grades 9-12 are expected to transmit written notes, messages, deficiencies, report cards and other documents between the school and their parents. School personnel shall be responsible for making reasonable efforts in the communication process, including e-mail, written, and telephone messages and for providing particular attention to situations where the educational welfare of students may be jeopardized. School personnel shall not be held responsible for student problems that develop from the refusal of students to transmit messages from the school to the home.
We strongly encourage students and parents to communicate their concerns to teachers as soon as a problem becomes evident. If a student has a concern or a problem in a class, the student should follow these steps to resolve the issue: 1. The student should schedule a meeting with the teacher. 2. If the issue is not resolved, the student and parent should make an appointment with the teacher. 3. If the problem persists, the parent / teacher should make an appointment with the appropriate counselor / administrator. At any time, parents / guardians may access their student’ s grade through ParentVue. As a reminder, ParentVue rolls up with students from one grade to the other. When a new student enrolls, the parent creates a ParentVue account to register. If a parent forgets their password, they can reset it on the ParentVue login site.
