Each grade level will be given time to collaborate and work on exciting new things for our students. In order to accommodate this work time, our specials and lunch schedule will be changing slightly for the next couple of weeks. We are only going to lunch 1 minute earlier (11:05). Here is the lunch/specials schedule, in case you were planning on coming to lunch with our class or a sibling's class. Download Collaboration Lunch & Specials 2011 - 2012
Here is another way you can support Varner! Please see the information below to see how to order a license plate to support Cobb County schools. Make sure to write "VARNER ELEMENTARY" on the top of your order form! All orders are due by February 3rd!
Order Your Official "Support Cobb Schools" License Plate Today! Your School Will Receive $10 For Each Plate Sold!
The Cobb Schools Foundation is excited to announce that we have received approval from the Georgia Department of Revenue and the Department of Motor Vehicles to offer an official "Support Cobb Schools" license plate! We need to sell at least 1,000 license plates before the plate can be manufactured. The Foundation will donate $10 for each plate sold by February 3 to Varner Elementary! To order your plate, simply print out the attached application, write the name of your school on the top, fill out the form, attach payment and send to the Foundation office. Applications must be postmarked no later than February 3 for Varner Elementary to receive credit.
After this initial period, all applications will go through the Department of Motor Vehicles and we will not be able to track them. You will receive a copy of your application marked "paid" to be used as your receipt. You will be notified as soon as the plates are available for pick up at your local DMV. Simply take your receipt into your local DMV and pick up your new plate! There may be an additional nominal specialty plate fee at time of pick up, however, you will not pay any Ad Valorem taxes. You will simply renew your tags in the month you always have. Each year you renew your plate, $10 will be donated to the Foundation to help provide grants for teachers, scholarships for graduating seniors, ASP scholarships for kids in-need and so many other programs support by the Foundation.
Please help us get the word out! Print out the attached application and license plate design poster, write the name of your school on the top, copy front to back and send out with your students! Pass this on to your friends and family! You don't have to live in Cobb County to have a "Support Cobb Schools" license plate. Anyone can order this plate! Our goal is to sell at least 1,000 before February 3, so that we can get approval from the Georgia Legislature to receive $10 for each plate sold.
Help us be the first school district in Georgia to have our very own license plate and "Support Cobb Schools!" Show your Cobb County Pride! Grab a pen and send it in!
Mail completed applications along with $25 manufacturing fee no later than February 3 to:
Cobb Schools Foundation
