The Comet Connection

Join us for our last PTA Meeting of the year this Wednesday, April 16th at 6:00pm. This will be an in person meeting. If you are unable to make it in-person, please join us online (https://bit.ly/apr_genbody25 password COMETS).

Join us in the Family Engagement Center at RES on April 17th from 10:30am-11:30am as we make plans for the '25-'26 school year. RSVP to Ms. Foster at Deanca.K.Foster@gcpsk12.org.

Next week, students in grades 3-5 will take the Georgia Milestones assessment. In the past, Rosebud students perform well on the Georgia Milestones. To keep this trend going, we ask that you make sure students go to bed early and get to school on time. This will allow for a calm and relaxing morning.

We hope that all students will participate in the daily themes our ASD department has planned. It's going to be a great week! Check out the flyer below for all the activities and fun!

Rosebud is proud to share that we are the recipients of the Math and Literacy Leader award from the state of Georgia. We will attend the ceremony on March 13th. Our academic gains have led to the highest score Rosebud has ever received on the state report card (CCRPI). Our CCRPI score is an 88.1. We are so grateful for all the support you provide to your kiddos. Let's keep this great work going!

Students love being a car rider in the morning to get their last-minute time in with you. Remember that the car rider lane closes at 8:10 AM, so if you are late to the car rider lane and the side doors are closed, you will have to come around the front of the building to drop your children off.

🚗The car rider lane closes at 3:10 PM in the afternoon. Please make sure to pick up your child by 3:10 PM.

🚗If you have transportation changes, you need to email rosebudtransportation@gcpsk12.org to notify the front office BEFORE 12 PM.

Don't miss out on this treasured keepsake! Order your yearbook online at YearbookForever.com and enter our school name to get started.

As a means of improving results for children with disabilities, the Georgia Department of Education is required to survey families of students receiving special education services. If you have a student receiving special education services in Gwinnett County, you are eligible to participate in this year's survey process. This is an opportunity for your voice to be heard.

The feedback you share will help guide local schools' efforts to improve Special Education services and results for children and families. The survey is available on-line and can be accessed on the Georgia Department Education website. You may enter the following direct link into your browser https://survey.gadoe.org/SPEDParentSurvey.

In April, nature seems to reawaken. April is also full of opportunities to reawaken your child’s interest in learning.

Celebrate these special days with some fun activities:

• International Children’s Book Day (April 2). This day is designed to inspire a love of reading. This year’s theme is “The Freedom of Imagination.” Read a fiction book with your child. Then, ask your child to imagine a different ending.
• National Walking Day (April 2). Get out a map and help your child plan a new walking route to a familiar place. Walk there together. What new things do you notice?
• National Laundry Day (April 15). Look online together for pictures of early washing machines. Then, teach your child how laundry is done today.
• World Creativity and Innovation Day (April 21). What would your child like to invent? Have your student draw a picture of the invention.
• Teach Children to Save Day (April 24). Encourage financial literacy. Talk with your child about the difference between needs and wants, and about the different ways people save (in piggy banks and bank accounts, by using coupons, etc.). Have your student decide on something to save for.
• National Honesty Day (April 30). Talk with your child about why it is important to be honest every day!

We are excited to focus on Creativity this month! Check out the SEL Creativity Newsletter for more information here!
