Greetings Hornets,

I hope that all our Roswell High School Community has had

a great summer.

The 2018-2019 school year was a great one for Roswell

High School as our students, faculty, and staff, celebrated

many accomplishments in Academics, the Fine Arts, and

Athletics. These achievements could not have happened

without the support of our community. This includes local

groups, such as the Roswell Rotary and the Roswell Kiwa-

nis Club, the City of Roswell, and, most importantly, the

support of the parents of our students. Whether it is through

a booster club, attending a meeting, corresponding with

teachers, or simply having conversations with their students

about the importance of what goes on at school, our parents

are a key component to the success of Roswell High School.

The Roswell PTSA is at the forefront of engaging parents

(and grandparents) at Roswell High School. Our PTSA

works hard to staff volunteers, organize and award PTSA

grants for teachers, feed the faculty and staff (especially

when they are at school late for an event), and so much

more.

As you may be aware, effective and timely communication

is the foundation of the Roswell High School Strategic

Plan. Good communication results from the outstanding

partnership between our school and our parent organiza-

tions, especially the PTSA. Thank you to the PTSA parents

who worked to compile this newsletter and thank you for

taking the time to read it. Inside this newsletter is some im-

portant information that you can use to help your student

have a great school year.

With the support of the Roswell community, our school is

poised to have another great school year in 2019-2020!

Thank you to all of you for everything

you do for our students.

Enjoy the remainder of your summer

and I will see you in August,

Robert Shaw, Ed.D.

RHS Quick Facts

Dropping Off Items for Students:

Staff/Volunteers cannot accept drop off items

for students to pick up in the front office or at

the Greeter Desk.

Conflict Resolution: Parents who have con-

cerns about a classroom issue should contact

the teacher via e-mail or phone. If no resolu-

tion can be found or if there are still additional

concerns, contact the department chairperson.

If the situation is still unresolved, contact the

appropriate grade level Assistant Principal.

Department Heads and email addresses can be

found on the RHS website under STAFF.

Dress Code: Students are responsible for

knowing the dress code which is available in

the Student Handbook on the RHS website.

Dress code violations include, but are not lim-

ited to, wearing clothes with an inappropriate

advertisement or language; shorts, skirts, and

dresses shorter than two inches below the fin-

gertips; exposed undergarments; form-fitting

clothes; sagging, bagging, and dragging trou-

sers; pajamas.

P.E. Lockers: The cost is $5.00 per semester

to be paid during class.

Lunches: There are four lunch periods. Stu-

dents are not allowed to leave campus for

lunch. Outside guests are not allowed to join

students for lunch. Students are not allowed to

use meal delivery services.

Searches: Student lockers, desks and all

school and classroom storage areas are school

property and remain under the control of the

school at all times. These areas are not private.

Periodic general inspections of these areas

may be

conducted by school authorities for any reason

at any time without notice and without student

consent. If a search yields illegal or unauthor-

ized materials, such materials will be turned

over in person to the Chief of the Fulton Coun-

ty School Police, School Police Officer, or

proper legal authorities for disposition.

Student ID Cards: Students receive a new

photo ID card each school year. ID cards will

be sent to the school once school photos are

taken in the beginning of the year by the

school photographer.

School Closings: In case of inclement weath-

er, check local radio and TV stations and the

Fulton County website for information on

school closings.

Friday School: Friday School may be

required for disciplinary issues. Friday School

is held after school on Friday

afternoons. Students will be required to ar-

range their own transportation home.

Absence: Any student who has been absent

from school must present a written excuse

before school begins to the attendance clerk

within five days of returning to school. The

excuse must include the reason for the ab-

Checking Out: To arrange a checkout, the

student must take a written request, signed by

the parent/guardian, to the Attendance Office

before school. Include the reason for the

checkout, the parent or guardian’s signature,

and a phone number for parental verification.

The request will be verified, and the attend-

ance clerk will issue a checkout pass to the

student. When it is time for the student to

leave, the student will show the teacher the

checkout pass. The student must check in and

out through the Attendance Office, not the

clinic. Failure to check in and out through the

Attendance Office may result in disciplinary

action. There will be no walk-in checkouts

after 3:15 pm.

Sick Policy: Students who become ill at

school should go to the Clinic. If the student

needs to be sent home, the Clinic will call the

parents/emergency contact to make necessary

arrangements. The student will need to be

checked out through the Attendance Office.

Pre-approved Absences: For all grades, pre-

approved absences are considered excused. Pre

-approved absences are limited to six days for

an entire school year. Specific guidelines

apply; please discuss your plans with the prin-

cipal well in advance of the planned absence.

Tardiness: A student is tardy when he/she

arrives to school after the beginning of the

official school day OR is not in his/her as-

signed class at the beginning of the class peri-

od. Students who arrive late to school in the

morning must go to the

Attendance Office for a pass to class.

result in disciplinary action. Please be courte-

ous.

from the attendance office at least 48 hours in

advance. The Certificate of Enrollment is valid

for 30 days.

who took Health online or at another school

Attention Potential College Athletes!

Rising juniors who are prospective Division 1 or

Division 2 athletes should register with the NCAA

this summer

Students may register at any time, but we recommend

that they register before their junior year. The regis-

tration website is http://www.eligibilitycenter.org.

The NCAA Eligibility Center will evaluate a student’s

academic credentials once the following information

has been received, and the student has had his/her

status requested by an NCAA member institution:

Completed online registration

Fee payment

SAT and/or ACT test score on file from the

respective testing agency (not from Roswell

High School)

Transcript(s) from all schools or programs

attended (request via Parchment.com)

In High School you don’t go to TAG

Science or TAG Social Studies: TAG is a seminar that you take once a

week. This seminar will cover a topic of inter-

est to you (past subjects include Oceanogra-

phy, Ghost Hunters, or Photography) and will

also assist you in developing both short and

long term goals for high school.

TAG opportunities include AP classes, di-

rected studies, and internships. A TAG teach-

er will explain these options in more detail in

your first TAG class.

How do I know if I’m in TAG?

If you were in TAG in middle or elemen-

tary school in Georgia, you are still in

TAG, even if you haven’t participated in a

year or more. If you’re not sure, one of the

TAG teachers can help you find out.

When do I start my TAG seminar?

TAG registration typically takes place

during the second week of the semester in

the mornings and during all four lunch

periods. Registration is announced during

morning announcements.

What is good about being in TAG?

Students can sign up for TAG seminars

with friends in all grades and on a topic

that they are interested in.

It shows colleges that students are willing

to go beyond a typical school day.

Opportunities include career internships

during the school day in a real workplace,

like a surgeon’s office or a law practice.

Students can take a directed study class,

spending one period every day studying a

subject they really want to research. Stu-

dents have studied fashion design, comput-

er programming, piano, and more

Students have an advisor who can assist

them in developing a four-year academic

plan, making course and career selections,

and preparing for admission to col-

lege. TAG advisors will make every effort

to assist students by working with them,

their parents, and/or their teachers.

New Authorization to Give Medication Forms

and Care Plans must be completed EACH

SCHOOL YEAR. Please make sure the

school has CURRENT telephone numbers for

parents and all authorized alternate contacts

(if you are unable to pick up your child should

they become sick during the school day).

Please note that we will not allow a seriously

ill or injured child to drive, walk, or ride the

bus home. Please update any changes with

your child’s health conditions and their asso-

ciated Care Plans (diabetics, severe allergies,

etc.) The clinic is open every day from 8:00

am to 4:00 pm and is located next to the Stu-

dent Services Office.

MEDICATIONS

It is best for students to take medication be-

fore or after school; however if it is necessary

to take a medication during school hours the

following policies apply to Roswell High

School students.

Your child may carry over-the-counter medi-

cations and does not need to complete a medi-

cation form. Medications MUST be in the

original containers and under NO circum-

stances be shared. This privilege can be re-

voked at any time if a student is not comply-

ing with the medication policy. The clinic

does not supply any over-the-counter medica-

tions and can not dispense any unless they are

supplied by the parent with a signed Authori-

zation to Give Medications form. If you need

or choose the clinic to administer, supervise,

or store any medications, an authorization

form must be completed.

Fulton County Board of Education and state

laws prohibit RHS from providing any medi-

cation. This includes emergency medications;

(Benadryl, EpiPens, and asthma rescue inhal-

ers) so please make sure your child has any

needed medications should an emergency

occur. Your child IS ALLOWED AND EN-

COURAGED to carry his asthma inhaler,

EpiPen and/ or Benadryl DAILY. Please

make sure your child’s name is on all medica-

tion in the event it becomes lost or misplaced.

All prescription medications must be kept in

the clinic and will not be administered unless

an Authorization to Give Medication form is

completed with the health care provider’s

signature and the parent’s signature. They

also need to be in the original containers.

Although we want your student to return to

school as soon as possible after a medication

change, it is for the safety of your child that

we ask that you observe him for any unsus-

pected reactions and report it to the prescrib-

ing health care provider.

policy. Please visit the Student Health Ser-

vices section of the Fulton County Schools

The consideration for gifted services may be re-

ported or automatic as defined by the GaDOE

Resource Manual for Gifted Education Ser-

vices. The Fulton County School System screens

all students for eligibility for gifted services twice

a year and uses a systematic approach to identify

highly capable students who may qualify for gifted

services.

The gifted teacher routinely reviews available data

to refer students for further assessment. Students

meeting either the automatic screening OR the

classroom screening criteria AND have supporting

data gathered from test history, products, and/or

advanced content levels are referred for additional

testing to determine gifted eligibility.

I. Automatic Screening- identifies students who

score at specified levels on a norm-referenced test

as defined in the GaDOE Resource Manual for

Gifted Education Services, for further assessment

to determine eligibility for gifted services. At the

beginning of the school year, TAG teachers review

existing test data.

Standardized Tests

Students must have minimally a combination of

scores that include > 85th percentile and > 90th

percentile in two of the three areas on a standard-

ized, nationally norm-referenced achievement

test: Total Reading, Total Math, and Complete

Battery.

mulative average of 95 or greater. supporting data

is needed.

II. Classroom Screening- Local schools select a

two-week period from January-February to review

all students in the school (Grades K-11). Class-

room teachers use the Characteristics Instrument

for Screening Students (CISS) to identify students

with superior abilities in five or more of the fol-

lowing areas: motivation, interests, communica-

tions skills, problem-solving abilities, memory,

inquiry, insight, reasoning, creativity, and hu-

mor.

Students who meet either the automatic screening

OR classroom screening criteria AND who have

supporting data gathered from test history, prod-

ucts, and/or advanced content levels are referred

for gifted placement testing.

Once referred to testing:-Parents receive the Par-ent Notification for Testing Consent Form.-Student is tested for the gifted program.

-Parents receive test results.

-Staffing meeting is held with parents of eligible students (Elementary only)

-If state eligibility is determined, students are placed in the gifted program with parental con-sent. III. Reported Referrals- All reported referrals

(parent, teacher and/or administrator) are complet-

ed through the two system- level screening and

referral processes each year. All referrals are

first reviewed by the local Eligibility Team to

consider if existing information warrants a

formal testing for eligibility.

ing results. For more complete information re-

preparing for the fall season! The entire

marching band then experienced two weeks

of band camp in July with 12 hours daily of

intense music instruction and drills to prepare

for the 2019 marching show, “The Upside

Down” Inspired by Netflix’s Stranger

Things. Week one was held Milton High

School due to construction on campus and

then week two was off campus at the Univer-

sity of West Georgia in Carrolton, GA. The

Hornet Swarm performs at all football games,

marches in parades, and competes at several

competitions this fall. Check out our calendar

Facebook @RHSBand to stay informed of all

RHS Band activities.

The Roswell High School Band, consisting of

three classroom ensembles, The Hornet

Swarm Marching Band, the Roswell Percus-

sion Ensemble, Roswell Indoor Drumline,

Roswell Jazz Band, Roswell Full Orchestra

and the Roswell Winter Guard, is supported

by the RHS Band Boosters Association and

many local businesses.

The Roswell High School Chorus is

proud of their superior ratings at Georgia

Music Educators Association

(GMEA) LGPE and Festival Disney

2019. Many of the students also partici-

pate in other GMEA honor events such as

rus as well as GHSA Literary competi-

tion. This year, Roswell was named State

four performing ensembles at Roswell:

Chamber Chorus, Vocal Jazz Ensemble,

Men's Chorale and Women's Ensemble.

Enrollment in Chamber Chorus and Vocal

tion to regular school concert performanc-

es and other performances throughout the

community. Next year, the Chamber

at Carnegie Hall with the National Youth

Choir.

The RHS Musical Theatre Department,

with the combined talents of the Choral

and Theatre Departments, is proud to

Career and Technical Education (CTE) in Fulton County Schools aims to engage students in cutting-edge, hands-on career exploration and

preparation opportunities that set them up to excel in postsecondary education and productive careers. CTE programs and pathways allow

students to apply math, science, and communication competencies in laboratory and occupational settings that develop specific technical

skills applicable in broad concentration areas. Curriculum incorporates Georgia Performance Standards (GPS) in all content areas.

Students are encouraged to pursue pathway completion, which entails taking a sequence of courses (minimum of three) in the same indus-

try cluster. Upon completion of a pathway, students are eligible to take an assessment leading to an industry recognized credential or certi-

fication (e.g., Microsoft Office Specialist, OSHA Certification, NCCER Core Certification). Participation in co-curricular student organiza-

tions (e.g. Skills USA, DECA and FBLA) and work-based learning enables students to leave high school with tangible marketable skills

and documentation of their capabilities, as well as greater understanding of the college and career paths related to their chosen industry.

Currently, Roswell High School offers Career Tech courses in the following eight industries:

Architectural Drawing and Design Food and Nutrition

Broadcast/Video Production JROTC – Army

Construction Personal Care Services – Cosmetology

Engineering and Technology Web and Digital Communications

Contact Career Tech Department Chair Lisa Funderburk for more information: [email protected]

As an added-bonus, RHS PTSA offers a scholarship specifically for seniors who have completed a CTE pathway!

PTSA Business Partners and Scholarships

It’s a Win-Win! Local Businesses and Families Help Dreams Come True for Graduating Seniors

Our Scholarship Team will work with you and your company to find the best fit for your partnership: fund the general scholarship pool or we

will work with you to custom-create a scholarship that matches your personal and professional interests.

There is a scholarship for everyone: we have created scholarships to suit the needs of our diversely talented students and with the help of our

Scholarship Business Partners, we are able to offer more scholarships to reach more students. In April 2019, scholarships were awarded to

students for excellence in academics, art, vocation studies, CTE (Career Tech Education) pathway completion, good character, positive contri-

butions to school and community, work ethic, success despite adversity and new this year: entrepreneurship. This newest scholarship is a per-

fect example of a custom-created scholarship. The scholarship includes a monetary award and mentorship sessions with Business Partners Tom

(’91) and Joanne Curtin of Curtin Team Cares, Keller Williams Realty.

We are looking for a company or individual who is interested in supporting specific subject areas: such as Technology or Fine Arts or

other interests such as Going Green: Environmental Stewardship, or whatever is important to you/your company.

Are you ready for a Win-Win with RHS Seniors and the RHS PTSA Scholarship Team? Please contact Lee Hills [email protected] and

Anne Fallon [email protected] to start making dreams come true. We are truly grateful for our 2019 Scholarship Business Partners:

Applerouth, Phillip Chritton, Tom and Joanne Curtin, Curtin Team Cares, Keller William Realty, Lisa Gallagher and Angela Freeman with

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, Cobb Roswell Office, Flavor EXP, Dede Rehkopf, Rebecca Stone, Attorney at Law, TurfMasters Lawn

Care.

Roswell Communications, under the direction of Administration and with support from the School Governance Council, has been working

diligently over the past year to promote Roswell High School. The Communications Team was born in 2018 from a Fulton County initiative

to improve relationships internally and externally through print and visual communication and partnerships in education. A branding cam-

paign that started in 2016 with the support of Administration and the PTSA set Roswell up for successful declaration of its identity and

voice.

Business Partner Liaison Eileen Leisses forged nine alliances between the school and local businesses last year. Relationships with Partners

in Education have been a great support for Roswell High School and beneficial to the partners as well. When partnerships are created, our

mission of building community grows and strengthens the Nest. Please contact Eileen at [email protected] for more information.

Communications Manager Betsy Rhame-Minor sent out twenty news releases and many social media posts on our official platforms this past

school year. Twenty-four stories were publicized about Roswell in newspapers, magazines, and digital media outlets. Besty has been docu-

menting and sharing student life, faculty, and staff triumphs and important announcements from Administration. For Publicity, contact Betsy

at [email protected].

Brand Manager Pam Nitzken has received and fulfilled hundreds of brand requests from faculty, staff, Roswell affiliated groups and partners,

and provided communications analytics to Administration. Our internal Brand launch is full throttle. School groups and booster clubs are

branding through Roswell Communications, approved vendors are creating official Roswell High School apparel, equipment, and décor in

accordance with the Brand Guidelines and school programs are reaping the benefits of fundraising with a cohesive identity to a community

that has embraced the new look. For Branding, contact Pam at [email protected]. Visit the RHS YouTube channel for more infor-

mation: https://youtu.be/CWyUhnpEwac

A complete list of partners, publicity and branding info can be found on the Communications tab at www.RoswellHornets.org. For general

Roswell Communications questions, you can email us at [email protected]. Start with Communication.

The RHS School Governance Council

(SGC) is proud of their most recent

achievements – our continued efforts to

fulfill the RHS Strategic Plan. Visit

https://roswellhornets.org/about/school-

governance-council/ . Scroll to RHS Stra-

tegic Plan 2022 and the monitoring tool

to see the progress we have made. The

strategic plan includes four overarching

objectives: student achievement, people

and culture, community collaboration,

and fiscal responsibility.

SGC meetings are open to the public and

parents are welcome to attend. Meeting

dates and times, along with agendas and

meeting minutes, can be found on the

school website. https://

roswellhornets.org/about/school-

governance-council/ . Attending SGC

meetings is a great way to hear about the

direction of the school. More importantly,

it is a valuable opportunity to identify

those areas in which you can help and be

an active participant in that direction.

Fulton County Schools (FCS) became a

Charter System in 2012, and is the largest

in Georgia. Charter systems give schools

the opportunity to support the needs of

their students and allows for flexibility

from one-size-fits-all state requirements.

Roswell High School began the transition

to a FCS Charter System School in 2014

with the formation of our first SGC.

The purpose of the SGC is to provide

parents, school staff, and community

members with an active leadership role in

the management of the school. The SGC

operates under the control and manage-

ment of the Board of Education, and is

responsible for making decisions regard-

ing the strategic direction of the school

including: a.) Approve the schools strate-

gic plan and updates b.) Approve the an-

nual budget and annual resource alloca-

tions c.) Manage the Request for Flexibil-

ity Process d.) Participate in hiring the

principal (in the case of a vacancy) e.)

Provide annual feedback on principal

performance.
