October 3rd - 9th is Fire Prevention Week!
Check out the National Fire Prevention Agency's kid-friendly website and make time at home to review your family's fire safety plan.
Scholastic Book Fair will be at RHPS October 4th - October 8th
Here’s how the Book Fair works:
Students will come to preview the fair with their class on Monday. Each class will have a buying time on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Friday the bookfair is open until noon for any last minute shoppers per class for 10 minutes.
The best way to send money for your child to the book fair is eWallet! eWallet gives students a safe, cashless way to shop at the in-school Book Fair! Families simply create a free eWallet account and funds are available instantly. Plus, family and friends can contribute, too! You can send a text to family that might buy a book for your child! Please click here see to set up an eWallet account.
You may also send cash or check with your child made out to RHPS PTSO. Please put it in a Ziploc bag or envelope, write Book Fair on it, and write the child’s first and last name on it. We do not charge tax, but round to the nearest dollar. Example: $5.99= $6, most books end in 99 cents.
You may also shop online for our book fair: https://www.scholastic.com/bf/rhps and all orders ship to your home! Due to the pandemic we are not able to utilize volunteers or hosting family shopping this year.
Thank you for supporting our book fair,
Stephanie Shorette - RHPS Book Fair Chairperson
PreK students will celebrate Georgia PreK Week beginning October 4th!
In 1992, Governor Zell Miller launched a pilot program called Georgia’s Pre-K. At the time, the educational program served 750 four-year-olds in the state. Now, 29 years later, the lottery-funded program has laid a solid foundation for academic excellence and future success in the lives of more than 1.6 million children. Georgia’s Pre-K is a voluntary, free program available to all of Georgia’s four-year-olds regardless of parental income, and continues to be nationally-recognized for its success.
However, in 2010, the Georgia Legislature nearly cut the program due to funding constraints. That’s when Voices for Georgia’s Children, along with partner organizations like Bright from the Start: Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning, responded by launching Georgia Pre-K Week in 2011. The goal is to emphasize the importance of quality early childhood education by providing opportunities for leaders to engage with Pre-K classrooms in their local communities.

In order to be included in the slideshow, please email them by October 22nd, 2021
