Cobb County School District announced on Mar. 25 that kindergarten registration is now open for the upcoming school year, inviting families to enroll their children and begin their educational journey in one of Georgia’s largest districts.
The district says this step is important as it helps set the foundation for students’ academic growth and personal development. Cobb County operates more than 60 elementary schools, including Murdock Elementary School, which functions as a public institution within the district according to the official website.
Parents who have experienced their child’s first year in Cobb schools shared positive feedback about the program. “I think this has been the greatest year! He came in a little hesitant but has just fell in love with school and talks about it every day, how much he loves school and learning. I’ve been blown away with how much he’s learned how to read and count,” said Hayes Elementary parent Kasey Romine. Other parents highlighted summer camps designed to help incoming kindergarteners adjust to their new environment. “It just showed a true testament to how they put care and emphasis to learning who your child is and how they can help benefit their education,” said Hollydale Elementary parent Quintrell Woods.
Teachers also described witnessing significant student progress throughout the year. “They are little sponges, everything we’re teaching them, they’re just absorbing it,” said Hayes Elementary teacher Tracy Young. Belmont Hills Elementary teacher Margaret Gunn Bauman added: “You do have a special bond with the students at this age.” Young continued: “I love being their first real school experience. The science of reading is fantastic, teaching kids to read is so phenomenal.” Bauman also remarked on student growth: “They are learning how to become a student, and by the end of the year, they’re readers, mathematicians, they’re independent, and they’re thriving.”
Murdock Elementary School belongs to Cobb County School District which maintains a strong reputation for academic performance according to its official website (source). The district itself has earned recognition as one of Georgia’s top workplaces while outperforming state averages academically (official website). Murdock aims to provide a secure setting where students can reach their highest potential (official website), offers an after-school program along with digital resources such as Clever and Sora (official website), and operates from 2050 Murdock Road in Marietta (official website).
Looking ahead, Cobb Schools say that registering early ensures families receive information about programs like summer camps or digital resources available through schools such as Murdock Elementary.
