Red Bud Middle School

September is Attendance Awareness Month! To celebrate school attendance, we will have a friendly competition among our schools. The class with the highest attendance percentage during the month of September will win an ice cream party. The school with highest attendance percentage on September 30th will receive an attendance trophy! Help your child by ensuring he/she is at school every day and on time, sending notes when they must be absent due to illness, and supporting your child to develop good attendance habits! #GoCoSchools #GETGCS #OneBIGFamily

This week at The Bud…

The 7th grade Life Science classes at Red Bud Middle School kicked off the year by transforming themselves into real-life scientists! The students used new iPads to photograph, trace, and color themselves to look like a scientist. The students have been challenged by their science teachers to think like a scientist this year while exploring the living world around them. The students pictured were voted on by their peers as creating the best looking posters. The RBMS science department looks forward to sharing more scientific activities with you as the year unfolds! #LookLikeAScientist

It’s a busy week at The Bud!

PARENT & FAMILY ENGAGEMENT WEEKLY TIP: Our School-Parent Compact for Achievement is an agreement that explains how parents, students, and teachers will work together to make sure that all students are successful. The compacts are designed by grade-level and are available on our website. A paper copy will also be sent home with your child. Reviewing the compact together and posting the compact to your refrigerator door is a great way to connect with your child and keep the goals on your family’s mind. These are also valuable tools to use during Parent-Teacher Conferences. It is important that you sign the compact with your child and return to the school. Feel free to contact your child’s teacher if you have any questions. Visit www.gcbe.org/pfe to learn more about GCS Parent & Family Engagement today. #GoCoSchools #OneBIGFamily #GETGCS
