Principal's Message

Dear Mashburn Families,

Thank you for helping us make sure the first two months of school have been successful for students. We are grateful for each of you and all your support for Mashburn. Thank You.


In just a few weeks all students will be participating in our Mashburn Fun Run to help raise $17,000 for a new track on our back playground. Please check out the Mashburn Facebook Page and social media, as well as the school website for more information coming soon.


**Registration is OPEN! Head over to Mybooster.com and get your student registered!**


Thank you for all your support in every part of school. Together We Are Better! We are so thankful for you!


Sincerely,

Carla Gravitt

A Message From Our Nurse

Dear Mashburn families,


I’d like to take a moment and ask the parents of students with health conditions to please ensure that they have been listed on their profile in parent portal. If you see that something needs to be included, please give me a call at 770-889-1630 x750113. Please remember that all medications at school must be brought by a parent/adult and given directly to me or another designated adult in the front office. As a reminder, students are never to carry medication to/at school unless they have the authorization to carry medication forms on file in the clinic. We appreciate you being aware of our no non-vital visitors policy, but you absolutely may come to the front office and I am happy to meet you there so we can have what your student needs here at school. Let’s work together to keep our Blue Bears healthy and safe!


Best Regards.
