Principal's Message

At Cobb Mountain Elementary School, we believe that a successful and enriching educational experience is achieved through collaboration and strong partnerships between the school, parents, and the community. As we prepare to commence the new school year, we want to emphasize two fundamental pillars that contribute to the academic growth and overall well-being of our students: good attendance and respectful and responsible attitudes.

Good Attendance:

Regular school attendance is the cornerstone of academic success. Attending school consistently is crucial for students to fully participate in the learning process, engage with their peers, and develop essential social skills. By being present in the classroom, students have the opportunity to grasp new concepts, build upon their knowledge, and receive personalized guidance from their teachers. Furthermore, regular attendance fosters a sense of commitment and discipline that will serve them well in future endeavors.

We kindly request parents to prioritize their child's attendance and ensure they attend school on time every day, except in cases of genuine illness or unavoidable emergencies. If your child is unable to attend school, please notify the school office as soon as possible. Together, let us create an environment that values and encourages regular attendance, enabling our students to reach their full potential.

Family vacations provide valuable opportunities for bonding, relaxation, and creating lasting memories. They can also offer educational experiences and exposure to new cultures and environments. However, it's important to strike a balance between the benefits of family vacations and the potential negative impact of missing school. Missing an extended time of school can leave lasting holes in a child's education that may leave lasting impacts on a student's academic success and personal growth.

Respectful and Responsible Attitudes:

Respectful and Responsible Attitudes:

At Cobb Mountain Elementary School, we strive to nurture an inclusive and respectful community where every individual is valued, and diversity is celebrated. We encourage students to embrace empathy, kindness, and compassion as they interact with their peers, teachers, and staff. Respecting one another's differences and perspectives fosters a harmonious atmosphere that empowers our students to learn and grow in a safe environment.

Moreover, we aim to instill a sense of responsibility in our students. Taking responsibility for their actions empowers them to make positive choices and develop into thoughtful and accountable individuals. As parents and guardians, your support in reinforcing these values at home will greatly influence your child's character development and contribute to their success both in and out of the classroom.

As the new school year unfolds, we assure you that our dedicated team of educators will continue to provide a nurturing and stimulating learning environment that caters to the unique needs of every child. We are committed to partnering with you to foster a love for learning and a passion for personal growth in each student.

We eagerly anticipate a fantastic academic year filled with exciting opportunities for learning, discovery, and growth. Together, let's make this school year a memorable and successful one for our students.
