What's Happening at ROE:
New News:
- Please complete the form for Grandparent's Day that was sent home with your students. Participation money is due on September 6, 2022.
- Early check out has been adjusted in accordance with the changes in the school hours. Students can not be checked out after 1:45 pm.
Weekly Reminders:
- Please go to the following link to read about our attendance processes for this school year. This is the information that was shared in Thursday's parent meeting. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vTj5rAiBeI8NzqMOYutAniv76pBiIFANDpqmQdJM5iOqtkU_ZtXWmrgBqXwZzdnLkWnnmI5i2HcoRtG/pub?start=false&loop=false&delayms=3000
- We are starting a new group called "Red Oak Dads." This will be an opportunity for dads to be hands on in and around the school. If this is something that you are interested in, please complete the form at the link below, and someone from Red Oak will contact you. My apologies that the link wasn't working, it should be fine now. If you run into any problems, please email me shaakira.akbar@henry.k12.ga.us.
- Students can be dropped off at the second door in the morning. There are staff members inside the building to help them navigate to their classes.
- Celebrating birthdays during the school day is many times impossible due to the constraints of your schedule. Lunch time is not always a good time because teachers are not present to pass out goodies. For your child's birthday if you must send something, please only send cupcakes, we do not have the capacity to distribute as entire birthday party worth of goodies. We think birthdays are special, so their birthday will still be announced to the entire school.
- Please click the link below to read the 2022-2023 Parent Handbook for ROE.
- If you would like to volunteer this school year, please contact our Parent Liaison, Ms. Wells. Her email address is tamesha.wells@henry.k12.ga.us. Each parent who volunteers will need a background check. Please click the link below for the form that has to be completed. Background check forms can be submitted to Mrs. Melvin in the front office. Please be mindful that the form has to be notarized and accompanied by a copy of your photo id. FYI...when you volunteer with ROE you are not guaranteed to volunteer in your child's class, as a matter of fact, more than likely that is not where you will be assigned.
- Parents are allowed back in the building for lunch time with their children. In an effort to still keep traffic down and controlled (COVID and other Communicable Diseases are still prevalent), kindergarten - 2nd grade parents may eat lunch wit their child on Tuesday at their child's lunch time. #rd - 5th grade parents may eat lunch with their child on Thursday during their child's lunch time. We will not hold children back from their instructional time for a late lunch date.
- Please read the parent handbook for proper school attire instructions. If your child is dressed inappropriately for school, they will be provided with a change of clothes.
- Please drop your child off in front of the school in the morning. Please do not take any students through the bus lane.
- Please get rid of your old car rider numbers. Car rider numbers are changed yearly because they match the grade that your child is in.
