Teachers and Class Schedules
Drop Day is scheduled before school starts. Parents are welcome to visit the classroom, talk with the teacher, and drop off school supplies. This is the best time to get "First Day" of school pictures.
Parent Night is scheduled during August. Here teachers will share more about their classroom schedules, expectations, and communication formats. We look forward to fellowshipping with your family!
School Supplies, Textbooks, and E-books
Updated school supply lists for each classroom are published in the Coble Communique in mid-July. All textbooks and e-book access is provided as part of the registration fees. Each child is assigned a Chromebook for their exclusive use during the school day.
Lockers/Cubbies
Lockers are available in the restrooms for students in grades 5-8. Assignments are made during the first week of school. Students in grades 1-8 also have a locker in the hallway to store backpacks, lunches, and coats. Students in grades PreK-Kindergarten are provided cubby space to store lunches, jackets, and rainboots.
School Blessing
A special community prayer walk is held on the Sabbath evening prior to the start of school. Watch the Coble Communique for more information regarding where and when to meet.
Lunch
Students can either bring their own lunch to school or purchase a hot lunch. The Hot Lunch program begins the second week of school, and you can read more information about it HERE.
For those bringing their own lunch, please keep the following in mind.
- Please pack cold items only, as microwaves are not available.
- Thank you for packing nutritious food, and we ask that you avoid sending soda

Visitors and Check-out
Visitors (parents included) must sign in at the front office when on campus. Should you need to check out your child during the school day, please come to the main office. A quick call or email ahead of your check out time will help us have your child ready for pick up on your arrival.
Weekly Chapel
In addition to daily Bible instruction, all students participate in weekly chapel services on Friday morning. We walk to the Georgia Cumberland Academy Church for our chapel service, weather permitting. Pastors and community leaders provide a spiritual thought meant to draw us closer to Jesus and each other.
Worship Wednesdays
Each Wednesday, our school welcomes the pastoral team into our classrooms. Each classroom enjoys a small group setting with one of our pastors. We are so blessed to have such supportive spiritual mentors discipling our children.
