We want to inform you that students at our school will soon participate in the Georgia School Climate Survey. This survey helps us better understand students' overall well-being, including areas such as school climate and safety, allowing us to enhance the support we provide.

Participation in the survey is voluntary, and students' responses are anonymous. If you prefer your child not to participate, you may opt out by completing the form linked and attached below.

Thank you for your support in helping us to create a positive and healthy school environment.

Please read below if you are the parent of a rising 9th grader.

As I trust you are aware, this school year, we limited student access to cellphones and smartwatches at MSGA and MMS. Last month, I presented a mid-year update to our Marietta City Schools Board of Education regarding our success at MSGA and MMS and my interest in considering similar cellphone and smartwatch limitations at MHS for next year (click here to view the MSGA/MMS presentation; click here for the MHS presentation).

In the coming months, we have committed to engaging with students, staff, and families about this potential plan at MHS for next school year.

You are invited to join me for a meeting specifically for parents of rising 9th graders on Monday, February 3, at the Marietta Performing Arts Center (MPAC) at Marietta High School from 6:00-8:30 p.m.

This meeting will include a review of the tentative plan for next year, as well as opportunities to hear from experts regarding school safety and student well-being. Also, MHS staff will join to offer their perspective. Families will also be given the opportunity to engage in small-group sessions to share potential concerns and opportunities for improvement. The evening will conclude with responses to questions generated in the small groups.

If you are unable to attend the meeting on February 3 and would like to engage further, you are welcome to reach out to me directly.
