R-PTLE Weekly Family Communication
Week of January 22nd, 2024 (#20)
Semester Two Begins!
Dear Families,
We have a full week of school this week! The weather might be tricky this week so have your student(s) prepared with the correct outdoor gear. the forecast has warmer weather, rain, and freezing in it. I love West Michigan.
I sent an email reminder about breakfast students this past week. If you drop your student off for breakfast, please try to drop them off at 8:25 AM. Our doors open for breakfast and it is super helpful to get our breakfast pine moving fast so the students are ready to join their class on time. Thank you!
Official half way point of the year! Please consider clicking the survey links below. these surveys go a long way with defining areas of need in our building. We appreciate any time you offer to help us grow to better serve our students.

This Month's Theme is Respect!
What is Respect?
Respect is the willingness and ability to act professionally and thoughtfully with ourselves and others. Leaders can deal respectfully with opposition and provide space for both dignity and differences to coexist.
At R-P we define Respect as: Showing others, objects, and self they matter.
