Gordon County Schools is on an early release schedule Wednesday, March 13th and Thursday, March 14th for Parent Conferences. We hope families were able to schedule time to meet with teachers to discuss your child's progress this year. If not, you are encouraged to stay in contact with your school and connect with teachers to find time to discuss academic achievement and future goals.
Friday, March 15th is an At-Home Learning Day. We hope that your child or children are able to explore learning opportunities that day and catch up on assignments, projects, and materials as we approach End-of-Course and End-of-Grade Milestones testing.
7th grade science students recently enjoyed a culminating activity to review the Circulatory and Respiratory systems. They connected the classroom to the real world by watching demonstrations of how the systems work and examining real organs. A huge thank you to Sheriff’s Meat Processing and Atchley Farms for donating the organs that were used.

Congratulations to the Red Bud Middle Teacher and Staff Member of the Month, Mrs. Kristen Matherly and Nurse Kristi Langham!
Nurse Kristi is a jewel! She is the unofficial school mom to every student in the building and always has a smile on her face with a kind compassionate word when dealing with everybody's headaches, stomach viruses, colds, flu, strep, COVID, cuts, scrapes, nosebleeds, and just medical issues in general. We are extremely grateful to have her as a part of our Phoenix Family!
Mrs. Matherly is an amazing teacher who is loved by all her current and former students!
She also devotes countless hours at school, at after school events, and at home creating our wonderful yearbook. She always does her best to showcase all aspects of RBMS in the yearbook and her hard work and dedication does not go unnoticed. We are extremely grateful to have her as part of our Phoenix Family!
There are lots of activities at RBMS this week.
March 4-8 is National School Breakfast Week -- our theme is Surf’s Up with School Breakfast, so your cafeterias will be filled with surfboards and waves and some special themed breakfast dishes like Point Break Potato Bowl and Shark Attack Yogurt Cup. Also, celebrity servers will be visiting the cafeteria lines. We encourage everyone to break out their Hawaiian shirts!
