RNE Newsletter February 11, 2016
Thanking my lucky stars for RNE!!
Thank you so much to the families that were able to attend our STEAM to PBL night. It was a wonderful evening filled with so many fabulous activities. As Mrs. Johnson and I traveled throughout the rooms, it was heartwarming to see all of the smiling faces!
Today several of our Kindergarten classes visited the Carter Center. Former President Jimmy Carter was there with our classes! This is a priceless experience provided by our PTA SEM committee. Thank you SEM!!
Tomorrow our teachers will be engaged in a variety of professional learning opportunities. I am very excited to see our amazing teachers bring their learning back to our students.
I hope you all enjoy the long weekend!
Best,
Maureen

Spotlight on PBIS
Principal’s 200 Club
Have you heard?! Have you seen?! As part of our school initiative for positive behavior we have started the Principal’s 200 Club! 8-10 staff member will have Bear Club Cards to pass out, every day, to a student that they feel is exhibiting the positive expectations set for our school. Once a student receives the award they will be able to sign the celebrity book, draw a number, and put their card with their name on it, in the numbered spot they drew on our board for all to see! Once there are 10 in a row, those students will get a mystery prize that involves the principal!
Some Guidelines for Teaching Behaviors
1– Provide examples and non-examples of expectations
2– Have students apply to their own lives
3– Check for understanding
4– Provide opportunities for practice
Thought for Home:
*Remind students that having positive behavior and doing the right thing at home and school is always the best choice! How can you encourage this kind of behavior more?
Our first group of winner's are!!!

- School Begins at 7:40 a.m.
The morning bell rings and academic instruction begins at 7:40 a.m. We ask that all students are in their classrooms by 7:40 a.m. so that the day starts off smoothly. Students who arrive after the bell has rung must be signed in at the front office by a parent or guardian.
· After School Programs
Per Fulton County policy our school doors will be locked at dismissal. Therefore, no one will be allowed to enter school once dismissal has begun. All after school programs will dismiss out front or in the carpool lane, depending on the class. Instructor will notify you as to the area for pickup.
- Transportation Changes
Anytime you change the mode of transportation for your child, please write a note to the teacher informing of the change. Also, please put their regular way home on the note as well as the change. Also, due to liability issues, Fulton County does not allow children to ride a bus other than their assigned bus to another student’s home for play dates, birthday parties, etc.
· Family Trips
Student absences for family trips are considered unexcused, unless you receive prior approval from the principal. Parents must submit, in writing, a request for the days to be excused, stating the educational relevance of the trip. Students must also submit a written journal of the trip highlighting what they’ve learned. The request for the absence must be submitted to Ms. Lilly no later than two weeks prior to travel. Approval is at the discretion of the principal.
· FCBOE Text Alerts
Parents, now you can receive emergency alerts on your cell. Just text “YES” to 88544. With this free service, you will receive text messages notifying you of inclement weather, safety alerts, school closings or other important information impacting the Fulton county School System.
· Lost and Found
Lost and Found is located at the end of the 5th grade hall. Unclaimed items will be donated to NFCC donated twice a month; once in the middle of the month and again at the end of the month.
- Birthday Treats
Due to the increasing cases of food allergies among our students, we ask that birthday celebration treats be non-food items. Suggestions include pencils, stickers, etc. The front office staff will make sure that the teacher is aware that the items were dropped off and the students will receive them that day. - Students Returning to School After Hours
It has been RNE’s policy for students not to enter their classroom after hours. The custodians are busy cleaning and teachers sometimes are involved with meetings and planning.
· Students who eat on the stage must follow the same lunchroom expectations as the students who are not eating with their parents. Proper manners include:
staying in their seat
raising their hands
purchasing all snacks/ice cream before sitting down
students will not be allowed to leave the stage until lunch dismissal
students will not be allowed to have their friends join them on stage.
