Students and teachers
will have no school this Monday, January 16th in observation

As a first grade, we would like to thank you for ALL of the donations

Rocky Branch Elementary School holds a Father/Daughter
Dance each year for girls and their fathers or a special friend. The money from
the entry fee for each couple is sent to Relay for Life. The cost is $35 per
couple and the event will be held on Friday, February 3rd at 6:00
pm. Please email me if you have any questions about reservations. Take
advantage of ticket pre-orders by turning in the pink slip sent home with your
daughter by January 31st.
At Rocky Branch our focus is on finding solutions to
our problems. We have been
learning some techniques ( Ignore it, talk it over respectfully
with the person, try to agree on a win-win solution or get help from the
teacher) We are working to be problem solvers by
using the wheel of choice that we
created as a class and to share our thoughts with each other during class
meetings. We have created bonds by sharing strategies that have worked in the
past.

Dear
RBES Parents,
We
value parent input and encourage you to participate in the Georgia Department of Education annual
parent school climate survey. The results will go into our school’s School Climate Star
Rating,
which is part of our annual College and Career Ready Performance
Index (CCRPI). The College and Career Ready Performance Index is Georgia’s
tool for annually measuring how well its schools, districts, and the state
itself are helping students achieve their goals. Every year, each school in
Georgia receives a CCRPI score from 0 to 100. The School Climate Star Rating
shows how well a school is fostering an atmosphere where students feel
welcomed, safe, and respected.
The
GaDOE will not make the survey’s raw data results public, but a school’s CCRPI
scores, including its School Climate Star Rating are made public annually. The
Georgia Parent Survey contains 24 questions. Parents may use their
personal computers, smartphones or iPads to complete the survey. Parents
that do not have access to the Internet, may contact the school to schedule a
time to complete the survey at the school. The 2016-2017 survey window is
open October 3, 2016- March 3, 2017. Please visit the following link to
participate in the survey http://apps.gadoe.org/schoolclimate/parents.nsf/Survey.xsp.
Thank
you for your time and input into this important survey!

every day with a snack. Snacks should be quick and easy to eat, as we have five

child’s reading with this log to qualify for a free ticket to Six Flags Over
Georgia. Students must read and log 6 hours. Reading logs are due to Mrs. Skinner by February 10th, but
