RPS hosts Family Reading Night
Ripley Primary School recently hosted its Family Reading Night.
During the event, students and their families were welcomed into
the library for the evening to enjoy the school’s selection of
books and earn accelerated reader points. RPS is in the process
of planning another Family Read/AR night for the spring.
RPS earns continued SACS
accreditation

during the school’s recent onsite review.
A Quality Assurance Review Team representing the Council on
Accreditation and School Improvement (CASI), Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), visited Ripley
Primary School on January 22 and 23. Hosting an onsite review
team was the final step in the school’s extensive efforts to
maintain accreditation by SACS CASI. The primary requirement for
accreditation is that Ripley Primary School provides evidence
that it meets ten standards as required by SACS CASI. The team
reported that Ripley Primary met the expectations for all 10
standards and recommended continued accreditation.
The faculty and staff at Ripley Primary would like to thank
all the parents and stakeholders who participated in the
accreditation review.
RPS Celebrates School Board Week
Ripley Primary School recently celebrated School Board Week with
several activities. Second grade students wrote letters inviting
school board members to visit their school for lunch and a
program. The students served as escorts for the representatives
and shared their lunchtime with them while Pre-K students and
other second graders provided entertainment.
Students shine in Reader’s Theater
Students in Ms. Jenny Brandon’s second grade
recited Shel Silverstein’s poem “Helping” at the school’s recent
Most Recognized program. Learning the selection first as a
Reader’s Theater piece in class, the students then memorized it
for the program. Reader’s Theater offers students an opportunity
to practice reading fluency by reading their part from a script
in groups or with partners.
