October. Safety Drill Family Notification
We conducted our state-required monthly drill on Thursday, October 9th. These drills are practiced monthly in all Marietta City Schools and Public Schools across the State of Georgia to ensure staff and students are prepared to respond to various events, including building evacuations (fire drills), lockouts, lockdowns, and severe weather (shelter-in-place). If you have any questions about our safety drills at any time, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.
Thank you,
Mr. Soto

Student Health and Attendance
Keeping illness out of the school is one of the best defenses for all types of sickness. If your son or daughter is ill, please keep them home. This allows your child to recover and prevent others from becoming sick.
If your child stays home for more than 48 hours due to an illness, don't hesitate to get in touch with your child's teacher and or Nurse Nicole. Our school nurse is here for guidance and support.
Return to School Protocol
- Symptoms clear within 24 hours → return to school*
- *Must be fever-free for 24 hours
Thank you for helping keep Park Street a healthy place to learn, grow, and thrive.
