Office 365 is Coming!
In order to help our students prepare for success, we are providing Microsoft Office 365 to every student free of charge. With Office 365, your child will now have access to the latest version of Word for writing; Excel for spreadsheets; PowerPoint for presentations; OneNote for organization and note taking; and much more!  You will have the option of installing the software on your home computer/devices or using the programs online.  Your student will be able to use the program for the remainder of their time in the Cobb County School District.


If you have not already signed up this service you should be getting an email from Office365ParentalConsent <Office365ParentalConsent@cobbk12.org> later this week as long as we have a current email address stored in our system. Codes for setting up your account are specific to your student so this email is very important.  Please be on the lookout for it, you may want to check your junk mail folders as well.  We will send out instructions for parents who do not receive the email early next week.
