Important Announcements
5th grade parents: We need your help!
For our 5th Grade Recognition Ceremony on Wednesday, June 5 at 8:00 am., we are creating a slideshow. We would like to have each fifth grader represented in the slideshow and would appreciate your help by providing the following:
One or two (please, no more than 2) pictures of your child
One more current picture
One young picture- The younger your child is in the picture, the better (K-4th)
Please, no professional portraits, family or vacation pictures.
You may email your pictures to rcespictures@gmail.com (our preferred choice) or email in scanned pictures. If you do not have access to a scanner and must send in an original, please put the picture in a Ziploc bag labeled with the name of the student and class in pencil on the back of the picture and on the Ziploc bag. We will get originals back to you as soon as possible.
Please submit your pictures no later than Friday, May 17, 2019; however, the sooner the better. Because of logistics and time constraints, we will not accept any more entries for the slideshow after May 17, 2019.
Spring Pictures due this week!
A Note from Nurse Lindsey
It's that time of year to begin to pick up medications for your student from the health room. I am unable to keep any medication in the health room over the summer so PLEASE pick up the medications by June 5 at 11:00 am. The medications that are not picked up by this date will be disposed of. Thank you so much! Have a wonderful summer!

ColorCycle Marker Recycling
We are excited to tell you about a very special program that we are adopting at our school in conjunction with Crayola called Crayola ColorCycle – an amazing program devised to repurpose used markers rather than sending them to landfills! Please help support our efforts by sending your kids in with any used markers you may have around the house! A drop-off box will be located in the Compass for your child to deposit the markers.
Markers accepted:
Washable
Permanent
White board
Highlighter
*ANY brand...with or without caps
SIC Report to the Parents
From the Learning Commons
Thank you so much for making our last Scholastic Book Fair of the year a successful one! We will be adding some amazing titles to our library and hope to have another author visit next year.
Student library books are due back in the library by May 21st.
Student Attendance
Due to new chronic absenteeism reporting procedures for the state, students are required to be at school for 50% of the day in order to be counted present, regardless of whether the absence is excused or unexcused. At the elementary level, students that arrive after 11:10 am, or who are dismissed prior to 11:10 am, are not counted present for the day. On Early Release Days, students who arrive after 9:45 am, or are dismissed before 9:45 am, will not be counted present for the day.
We will now be using School Messenger to TEXT important messages to you about school happenings. Please click on the link below to find out more information.
4K and 5K Registration
For more information or to order, you may visit the Lexington One Food Services site!
Please be prepared to show your ID each time you visit RCE when students are present.
