EXCELLENCE CELEBRATION
On Friday, February 23rd, Cobb PTA and Cobb Middle School students and staff will participate in a celebration of our distinguished award as the first school in Frisco ISD to receive the National PTA School of Excellence Award and the first school in Texas to receive the Phoebe Apperson Hearst Award. To show our Cobb pride and celebrate this momentous occasion, we will have an all-school and Cobb community aerial photo taken. A special blue shirt will be given at no charge to all current Cobb students and staff to be worn on Friday.
We will follow a special bell schedule that provides afternoon time for the photo as well as an all-school assembly. **PARENTS: If you need to pick up your student early from school on February 23rd for any reason, please do so PRIOR to 1:30 p.m. Between 1:30 and 3:30, we will be unable to locate and release individual students in a timely fashion.**
Lost & Found Items Will Be Donated March 3rd
Announcements...
FISD Finance Night - Tax season is upon Frisco ISD residents and the district wants YOU to take a look beyond your bill and understand what that number really means to Frisco ISD. Looks can be deceiving. Join Frisco ISD's CFO, Kimberly Pickens, in a discussion on where your tax money really goes. Parents are encouraged to attend the meeting scheduled for their feeder; however if they have a conflict they may attend any of the meetings. Each meeting should last no longer than an hour. Cobb's feeder nights can be found here.
8th Grade Parents - If you missed the Rising Freshman Night at Wakeland, you may view the counselors' presentation here.
Friday, May 4, 2018, 8th grade will be touring AT&T Stadium. We will leave at approximately 9:00 a.m. and return to school by 2:00 p.m. The cost is $15 per person and mypaymentsplus is now accepting payments. Students will need to bring a sack lunch with no glass. Chaperone details will come later but make sure you have a current background check for the current year. Email Ms. Yancey or Ms. Brotherson with questions.
7th Grade Parents - Our annual field trip to the Dallas Zoo is May 18th. If you are interested in being a chaperone, please sign up here. Email Mrs. Van Alstyne or Mrs. Gestes with questions.
Join the Club - One of the best parts of middle school is getting involved with a group of your peers to do something you enjoy outside the classroom. Check out our diverse list of clubs and organizations to fit every student's interests - more clubs have recently been added!
