9th Grade Advisement Kick-Off Meeting Tonight
Attention all 9th grade families! Please join us tonight Thursday, January 13th from 6-7pm for the 9th grade Family-Student Advisement meeting. We ask that every student and at least one adult family member join us virtually live at 6:00 pm using this Teams meeting link. If possible, please log in with your student using your student’s RCPS account to have access to all Teams features.
We will be raffling a $15 Amazon Gift Card to one of the students who participates live. We will also host a candy buffet at the end of the month if we get 100% live participation from the 9th graders.
Vote for Danielle Carnegie!
Our very own Danielle Carnegie is currently in a race to be named the top point guard in Georgia High School Girls Basketball. Vote in the poll online at this link to let them know we think she is the state’s top point guard this season. You can vote multiple times per day and the point guard voting will conclude Monday, Jan. 17, at 11:59 p.m.
