Titan Families,

This week we launch the last month of 2022, December! This month will be a fun filled one with school and weekend events and activities. Please be sure to mark your calendars and carefully read all campus and classroom communication for what is ahead as we start to close out 2022. We want to be sure you can engage with our campus and surrounding community as much as possible.

Next week is Inclusive Schools Week. This is a time we set aside time to celebrate unity and connection within in our school communities for supporting all students. Let us continue to stand together to address the needs of our children, grow a sense of belonging, and strive and thrive for supportive networks throughout our community for each other. On December 8th, our campus will be highlighted at the school board meeting for the efforts we take with our community to create impactful family engagement. We would love to see you there supporting us as we present to the school board all of the amazing partnerships we have in place as we aim to meet the needs of our students. If you plan to attend, please let me know so that we can save you and your family a seat!

We wish you and your family a wonderful start to December! Should you need anything or wish to connect to collaborate, celebrate, or express a concern, please reach out. Otherwise, let's make it a great week of showing PRIDE in our community!

Take care and be well,

Dr. Amy Sharp

Proud RPE Principal

• If parking in the parking lot in front of our school for drop off or pick up during these times, you should follow the flow of traffic, making a LEFT turn as you exit the parking area.

What is River Place Run/Read Club:

• A morning walk or jog is a great way to start the day and a healthy habit to form. Encourage your kids by volunteering for this event!
• It is also a great way to see your kids interact with friends in their grade level.
• We need parent support to keep this program going strong. Your words of encouragement as they run laps go a long way to encourage the students. Sign up here!
• Students will either run around the track and earn prizes, OR they may read silently to self in the gym.
• Volunteers and teachers will help set up the tables, help students get their badges, log laps run, motivate kids, give out rewards for laps run, and collect badges and take down tables when Run Club is finished. Sign up here!
• After Run Club, at 7:50, Mr. Grace will pick up the students and take them to the cafeteria. Students who have not had breakfast yet will do so then.

Time: 7:10-7:50 AM

Place: Check in at the front receptionist desk and then head to the MPR (Multi-Purpose Room across from the cafeteria)
