Minority SBDM Elections
Special SBDM Parent Rep Nomination Notice - DUE TODAY!
I hope you’ll consider running for our school council or encourage a friend to do so! In Kentucky, each school has a School Based Decision Making (SBDM) council composed of the principal, elected teachers, and elected parents. The council is in charge of making many of the most important decisions about how the school operates and supports student achievement. The council is a wonderful chance to learn about our school, work closely with teachers, and help make our school even more successful than it is now.
Parents elect the 2 parent members of the council who will receive training and serve now through June 2024. However, we are holding a special election for a minority parent representative. This is required by law when a school has greater than 8% minority student population.
Nominations for a minority parent representative are due via THIS FORM by 5pm on Monday, October 23rd. If you know someone who would be a good candidate, please encourage that person to run. If we have nominations, the election will be held at Roby Elementary on October 27th from 8am to 5pm in the front office.
Our SBDM council meets once monthly on a Tuesday from 4:30-5:30pm
Parent Teacher Conferences
Week of Oct. 23-27th!
Sign up link for parent conferences were shared by your child's homeroom teacher! If you have not scheduled a conference and would like to, reach out to your child's teacher ASAP!
Bus Cancellation & YMCA Partnership
Beginning on Tuesday Oct. 10th!
Who: This service is now being offered to ELEMENTARY and MIDDLE school families.
Cost: There is no cost to the families participating.
How: The child's bus must have been canceled for the day. Families may select AM, PM, or BOTH for their children. The YMCA will allow drop off at 7am and they request families pick up by 5:30pm (these times have changed from last year - used to be 6am/6pm). Elementary students must attend the YMCA program of the school in which they attend, unless otherwise noted. Due to limited capacity at some locations, space may be unavailable. Entries are accepted until 9:00 AM.
Notification: When buses are canceled, transportation will send their usual morning bus cancellation message. Within the content of the message will be a link to the YMCA Childcare Registration Form and a YMCA Registration Form for Canceled Buses form (both linked below) for parents to complete.
Forms: Any family opting to use this service will need the CEP Registration on file with the YMCA to participate in this transportation option (linked below). If families do not have one on file, they can use the online registration link or they can fill out a paper copy at the YMCA site. After a student is registered once, they do not have to complete another registration for the year. This is a new calendar year, and forms submitted last year are no longer valid. Families cannot submit a CEP in anticipation of use.
