Cobb schools spring semester choice portal opens Sunday

Timber Ridge Elementary School, East Cobb schools, CCRPI

We noted earlier this month that parents of students in the Cobb County School District will be able to choose face-to-face or remote learning options from Nov. 15-29.

As that portal opens on Sunday, the district has provided some further information about the process, which operates the same as it did for the fall semester.

The spring semester runs from Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2021 through Wednesday, May 26, 2021, and the district says you can change your selection anytime during that Nov. 15-29 period at the Cobb Learning Everywhere portal.

After that, those decisions will be final, as they have been for the current semester. Per a district release, here are the selection steps:

  • 1. Make sure the adult who first enrolled each student (the enrolling adult) completes the choice process. Attempting to complete the process as another adult will not work.

  • 2. Use your preferred computing device to navigate to ParentVUE by clicking HERE or by opening the ParentVUE app on your mobile device.

  • 3. Log in with your user name and password. If you have forgotten your password, click the Forgot Password link on the login page.

  • 4. Once you are signed in to ParentVUE, direct your attention to the left-hand side menu and select the Back to School Choice menu item.

  • 5. On the Back to School Choice page, find each of your registered students listed, along with the two learning options (FACE-TO-FACE or continue FULL REMOTE) for each.

  • 6. Choose the option that best fits the needs of your student(s) and family.

  • As we continue to be committed to offering you choice, Cobb’s commitment to health and safety will continue as well. You can learn more about Cobb Schools’ enhanced health and safety protocols, which are keeping Cobb’s students as healthy and safe as possible, by clicking here.

  • We recognize that this school year has already been full of challenges. We know we cannot address every way COVID-19 has impacted your lives, but we can continue to give families safe and healthy face-to-face and remote classroom options for as long as public health conditions in Cobb County allow.

  • We sincerely thank you for your support and partnership as a member of the Cobb Schools Team and look forward to supporting your student(s) for the rest of the 2020-2021 school year.

Data released by the district before students returned to classes indicated that 52 percent of all students chose face-to-face learning, including 58 percent in elementary school, 54 percent in middle school and 42 percent in high school.

Two high schools in East Cobb reported the highest percentage of students who have gone back to classrooms: Pope (70.6 percent) and Lassiter (63.3 percent).
