Principals Message
Parents, please take a moment to complete the 2019-2020 RBES Parent Perception Survey.
The purpose of the survey is to gather feedback about the quality of education that our school provides. You may access the survey by logging into your GCPS Parent Portal at which time you will be prompted to take the survey.
Now that the weather is cooler, we would like to remind everyone that GOC's arrival drop-off begins promptly at 8:30 a.m. for weekly campus labs. Please do not drop your student off until a staff member is outside and accessible in the car rider line. Students who have a pre-arranged meeting or appointment with a faculty or staff member will be required to buzz in utilizing the Visitor Management System prior to 8:30 a.m.
Another reminder to all students to please pay close attention to all of your course work these next few weeks so that you are prepared and able to enjoy the upcoming Thanksgiving break.
