Frequently Asked Questions
Can I come to lunch and can I bring a birthday treat?
​
Yes! Lunch is at 10:26. You are more than welcome to come eat lunch with your child. There is special visitors table that you and your child will sit at when you visit. If you would like to bring a birthday treat on or around your child's birthday, you can. It will be passed out to all the students around 10:45, in hopes that the lunch gets in bellies before they fill up on sweets.
Can my child buy extras at lunch?
​
At the end of the check out line in the café, the students have the opportunity to purchase extras that are not included in the lunch price. These extras include chips, brownies, cookies, and ice cream. Kindergarten only purchases ice cream on Fridays. However, we leave the extra purchases on other days up to your discretion. You can limit extra purchases will an email to the café manger @ Barbara.patterson@cobbk12.org

What are Due West Dollars?
​
We have a school wide behavior plan called PBIS. Students earn Due West Dollars as a reward for positive behaviors. We focus on PRIDE which stands for Participation, Respect, Inspiring, Doing the Right Thing,and Exercising Safe Behavior. When a student is "caught" doing one of these things, he/she earns a Due West Dollar. These dollars are collected through out the week and spent at the school store, which is called the Due West Trading Post.

How do you do snack?
​
We do group snack. Please send in a box of cereal, pretzels, crackers, or goldfish to share with the class for snack. We will have snack every day. Please do not send in yogurt, pudding, or apple sauce because they make a mess on the carpet when spilled. Until we are sure that no one has any allergies, please REFRAIN from sending in any peanut products. I will send out emails when our “stash” is running low. Thanks in advance for your support.
What do I do when my child is absent?
​
Within 3 days of the absence, the school needs and email or note explaining why your child was absent. Please send emails to Mrs. Howerton and Mrs. Lumpkin.
