R-PTLE Weekly Family Communication

Dear Families,

Welcome Back! It will be great to see everyone back in the building. I will keep it short as much of what is below is similar to what I shared before break.

Make sure we have proper recess gear this week - I hear there is significant winter storm heading our way...

It is survey Season... Please click this link for our PBIS Community Surveys. You may also see posts from Mr. Lane in regards to completing this survey. Also, please see the CKH surveys below for families and students. These surveys allow us to see areas of success and areas of growth needed. We appreciate your time in helping us learn more about how we can better serve our students and community.

At R-P we define Respect as: Showing others, objects, and self they matter.
