The Yearbook Needs Your Photos!

Hi Roswell Families! The Roswell High School yearbook would love to include your child's picture in the yearbook. We will take any pictures, but we are in need of pictures from the summer, RHS siblings, student baby pictures, and college spirit. The pictures must be good quality and only include RHS students. 

If your child took senior photos with a photographer other than CADY studios and would like those pictures in the yearbook, send them to us with a release form from the photographer. 

Please email all pictures to the yearbook advisor, Mr. Mendelson, at mendelson@fultonschools.org. Thank you for your help!

Staff Appreciation Events

Our Teachers and Staff

are Our Greatest Gift!

The holiday season is upon us, and we want to bring some much needed JOY to our awesome teachers and staff. On Wednesday, December 14th, the teachers and staff will be treated to a holiday luncheon, catered by a local business. During this time, we will celebrate them with the annual, and highly anticipated, gift card raffle!

Hornet Well-Being

Grief Support For Students

Val Rogers, our school social worker and Laura Mallard, one of our therapists with CHRIS180 will be hosting an informational/education group for students on coping strategies to help deal with grief. This group will NOT be a therapy group that is a deep dive into specific situations, it will introduce general coping skills and strategies to help students process grief on their own terms. The group will be held on Wednesday Nov 30^th and December 7^th (students should plan to attend both sessions). If you feel your student could benefit, encourage them to join by scanning the QR code below. There is space for 20 students per lunch/study hall (AB or CD); students should bring their lunch but snacks will be provided. Passes will be provided and study hall teachers will be notified that the students will miss study hall on those 2 days.

Roswell Teen Talk Podcasts

Exciting news! Roswell Rotary and the Wellstar Foundation have partnered to produce an OUTSTANDING podcast series called “Roswell Teen Talk”. This five-episode limited podcast series highlights OUR Roswell teens and addresses a wide variety of topics related to behavioral health and suicide prevention topics while providing critical information on when, where and how to seek help (personalized for the North Fulton community). We are SO PROUD of our students that were part of this project and could not be more thrilled with this engaging opportunity to support youth and their parents. Listen TODAY to better understand what our Roswell teens are facing and how you can help to support them…you’ll be so glad you did!

The Podcasts are available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Or download them here:  https://roswellteentalk.podbean.com/ 

Calming Mantras

As the end of semester is approaching, the Hornet Well-being team is educating the students on calming “mantras”; a statement or practice that they can tell themselves in order to feel calm. This article includes a “mantra” for parents; a reminder that “it’s not about me”. We hope this helps us all at this time of year!
