Parent Input
As we begin to start planning for next year, we would like to provide families an opportunity to give input on student placement for the upcoming 2024-2025 school year. Filling out this form is completely optional. This is an opportunity for you to share information that you would like us to consider when creating classes. We take great pride in carefully placing each and every student, with or without parent input. Please know that while we take this information into consideration there are many factors that go into class placement and we will do our very best to honor your requests, but cannot make any guarantees.
Below are a few guidelines to follow when completing the form:
- Please do not ask for a specific teacher by name or list any descriptors that indicate a particular teacher.
- Please do not request that your child be placed with another student, with the exception of twins.
- Submit a hard copy of your completed form to the attention of Mrs. Meador or Dr. Spooner by 3 pm on Monday, April 8. We will not be accepting submission by email. Late submissions will not be accepted.
- If you have multiple children at Eastvalley, please fill out a separate form for each child.
You can send your form in an envelope with your child. You can drop it off in the office during school hours or at the ASP desk until 6PM.
5th Grade "Farewell" Marquee Messages
We are excited to announce that we will be selling marquee messages for our 5th grade students who are graduating to Middle School! This is a special way to celebrate and recognize their achievements.
Messages will be available for purchase on My Payments Plus (mypaymentsplus.com) starting on April 8th and will continue until we are sold out or until April 26th, whichever comes sooner. Each marquee message will cost $25 and you will be able to choose from 3 preset messages:
- Congratulations (Your child's name here)! We are so proud of you!
- Farewell, Eastvalley! (Your child's name here) is ready for middle school!
- (Your child's name here) is headed to East Cobb Middle School! Congratulations and Best of Luck!
Your selection of a congratulatory farewell message for your 5th grade student will run on the school marquee for one day. We can only accommodate a limited number of messages per day. Please select your first and second choice when you checkout on My Payments Plus but know we may need to contact you to make another selection if that day fills up too quickly. Thank you for your support!
Birthday Messages on the Eastvalley Sign
A birthday message (Happy Birthday, Firstname Lastinitial) will run on the school marquee for a one-week period (Sunday through Saturday) surrounding the student's birthday as entered on the form that will populate with your payment. Although you may purchase your birthday shout-out at anytime, please make your purchase by the end of the day Thursday for a message that needs to start on Sunday. Please make any purchases for summer birthdays by May 22nd as we will run messages throughout the summer. Please call Brenna Fry if you have any questions, 770-578-7214.
