The Comet Connection
A look into what's going on at Rosebud ES!
A Note from our Principal, Mrs. Holmes
Greetings Parents,
We have had another great week at Rosebud. If you have students in 3rd - 5th grade, tell them that you are proud of their effort on the mock Georgia Milestones assessment. I am hoping for the data from this is complete so I can share it with you during my parent meeting on the 16th. My data chat with parents has been rescheduled for March 16th from 6 - 7 PM and will be held on zoom.
This week held our literacy night. I was so proud of the teachers who organized the event. We had a great turn out. Thank you to all of the parents who took the time to come to our Literacy Night. Parents who attended walked away with tons of books and resources. In addition to an amazing Literacy Night, we also celebrated our exceptional children this week. We embraced our differences with a parade to celebrate all of our students. They were so cute!!
Don't forget that next Friday, March 17th is a Digital Learning Day!

Field Trips
Schoolwide STEM Projects
This year's STEM challenge will be for students to build a boat. The boat cannot be larger than 6 inches wide and 8 inches long. The boats cannot have motors. Students will need to make sail boats that will race against other boats. We will also test the capacity of the boats. Students will have to keep all of these requirements that in mind as they design their boats.
To enter the STEM contest, students will need to bring $3.00 and their permission slip. Permission slips went home in early January.
