RES Weekly Buzz

Dear RES Families,

The teachers and students are working diligently to build good daily routines, helping create smooth transitions between activities. Each day they also participate in activities that make a strong classroom community. It has been wonderful seeing our students working together, complimenting their peers, displaying kindness and understanding, and enjoying their time together. Our teachers have been hard at work creating engaging lessons for their students. We have truly enjoyed our time in the classrooms and are excited to see the level of participation in all grades. We hope the kids are sharing their experiences with you at home.

Just a few quick reminders:

•During morning drop off, please remain in your car and let our staff members help your children out. This procedure allows the carpool line to continue moving smoothly. Also, please move forward to allow more cars to pull up into the drop off line.

•Back to School Night on 9/27 is just for parents/caregivers, not students.

•If you have not yet done so, please complete the Superintendent's Entry Plan Survey. Use the following link: RPS Superintendent's Entry Plan Survey.

Have a wonderful weekend!
