Dear Parents,
We are excited to offer a wonderful opportunity for your child to lead the Pledge of Allegiance over the PA system. This is a great chance for our students to develop their confidence and take on a leadership role in our school community.
If you would like your child to participate, please complete the attached form separately for each child you are signing up. All submissions will be considered in the order they are received. We look forward to hearing from you and seeing our students shine.
Parents, please go over the Pledge of Allegiance with your child to ensure they are comfortable and prepared.

Mrs. Brown
If your student has medication that will need to be administered during the school day please plan to bring it along with the proper authorization form to Meet the Teacher on Aug. 7th, if possible. I will be available to take in medications from 7:00 AM - 3:00 PM and would love to meet you.
Important things to know:
1. Each medication must have a form. One form for each medication.
2. Prescription medications must be in the current, unexpired container/bottle with the appropriate label from the pharmacy. All prescription medication authorization forms must be signed by the physician.
3. Over-the-counter medications must be in a new, unopened bottle/box. If you wish for your student to be given a dosage other than the recommended dosage printed on the bottle/box you will need to have an authorization form signed by your child's physician approving the dosage. Otherwise, only a parent signature is required on the authorization form.
4. Medication must never be sent to school with a student unless the parent has submitted the written order from the physician authorizing the student to carry an emergency medication, such as an inhaler or EpiPen. Otherwise an adult must bring the medication into the school to be signed in with the nurse. If a student is found to have brought medication to school unauthorized, serious consequences may occur.
5. Medication will never be sent home with a student from school. If medication needs to be picked up, it must be signed out from the nurse's office by an adult.

Greetings Rocky Ridge Family,
This message is to communicate that Rocky Ridge will begin our Front Door Bus Evacuation Drills next week until each bus has completed its evacuation drill. Thank you for your support!
Per the Alabama School Bus Driver Record & Report Book:
Drills should be scheduled at least two times per school year. Optimally, the first evacuation drill should be performed early in the first semester and the second evacuation drill should be performed early in the second semester.
Sincerely,
Mrs. C. Jackson
Assistant Principal
Este mensaje es para comunicar que Rocky Ridge comenzará nuestros Simulacros de Evacuación de Autobuses la próxima semana. Realizaremos simulacros de autobús cada mañana hasta que cada autobús haya completado su simulacro de evacuación. ¡Gracias por su apoyo!
Según el Libro de Informes y Registros de Conductores de Autobuses Escolares de Alabama:
Los simulacros deben programarse al menos dos veces por año escolar. De manera óptima, el primer simulacro de evacuación debe realizarse a principios del primer semestre y el segundo simulacro de evacuación debe realizarse a principios del segundo semestre.
Atentamente,
Sra. C. Jackson
Subdirectora
