Announcements...
Support Cobb Art Club - Please support the visual arts program at Cobb by buying student-designed shirts. There are many options from which to choose. Last day to order is November 13th.
6th grade parents – If you received an email last week about updating your student’s immunization record and have not sent in an updated record, please try to get one in to the school clinic before the Thanksgiving Break. We are specifically looking for what your child has received in the last 2 years. We are still looking for 128 records to be updated. Thank you for helping us update our records.
Pets on School Grounds - No pets are allowed on FISD property while students are at school unless authorized by the principal for a pre-approved instructional purpose. Those walking students to or from school with pets will not be allowed on FISD property. Those on city sidewalks/public easement should still be cognizant of students walking/riding bikes to and from school for safety considerations. This does not apply to service animals. Please click the link to see the full document of information regarding “Service Animals on School Property.” https://goo.gl/rDk4tq
Math & Science Team - will have its first Practice Meet on Saturday, December 2nd. Participating students will meet at the front of Wakeland High School at 6:45 a.m. The bus will depart at 7:00 sharp, so parents please make sure you and your student(s) arrive on time. We don't want to leave anyone behind. The competition will be held at Cross Timbers Middle School in Grapevine. Students are expected to arrive back at Wakeland High School between 1:30 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. Students will send a text to their parents approximately 15 minutes prior to reaching Wakeland. Wish our team safe travels and good fortune at the Meet.
