Snack Reminders
-Please send a healthy snack {low in sugar- no cookies, candy, etc.} to school with your child every day.
-Due to having 5 minutes for snack time, please send in only one snack.
-Please do not send snack in your child's lunchbox or in a large container/bag. He/she puts their snack inside their desk to save space and time during transitions. 
-Please only send a small water bottle for your child to have with his/her snack.
 Jewelry
Please help us by making sure your child leaves all jewelry {bracelets, necklaces, etc.} at home. They often become a huge distraction during instructional time. 

  
Volunteer Training
Georgia law regarding volunteers in non-profit organizations establishes that all volunteers are now mandated reporters.  In order for all volunteers to understand the law and know the reporting protocols,  volunteer training regarding the new mandated reporter law will be provided. Below are the dates for the RBES volunteer training. If you plan to volunteer or visit in a classroom  (this includes attending class parties, field day, working with students, etc.) you should attend one of the dates below.

We will need ALL volunteers to attend one of the training options in order for everyone to be able to continue to serve as a volunteer. Please know we appreciate you, your time, and commitment to RBES.
