Welcome to Mary Lin Elementary. Home of the Rockets!

We're one of the Atlanta Public School district's shining examples of student success. Located in the Candler Park neighborhood just 2 miles from downtown Atlanta, we serve most families in the 30307 zip code. Our students live in the neighborhoods of Inman Park, Poncey-Highlands, Lake Claire, Candler Park and Druid Hills. Mary Lin students go on to Inman Middle School and Grady High School.

Clarification of Attendance Paperwork

The following is a clarification concerning the Statement of Notification and Receipt of the summary of Georgia's Compulsory Attendance Law, Procedures, Consequences and Penalties form that was sent home as part of the registration packet:

1. The purpose of including this letter with our registration packet is to ensure that our school is in compliance with Georgia State Law, Georgia Code 20-2-690.1.  This law states that each parent and student shall receive a summary of possible consequences and penalties for failing to comply with the Compulsory School Attendance Law.
   
2. As stated on the document, the placement of your signature on the document merely acknowledges that you have received  this written summary.

A copy of the Compulsory School Attendance Law is available for review online at http://www.legis.state.ga.us/legis/2005_06/fulltext/sb413.htm or
