RES Weekly Buzz

Happy December!

It's hard to believe we are in our 4th month of school already. We would like to wish everyone a happy holiday season! Whether you celebrate Hanukkah, Diwali, Christmas, or Kwanzaa, we hope that you can enjoy your families with gratitude and happiness!

Our RES staff has been working around the clock to ensure that our students are learning and growing academically, socially, and emotionally when they are in our care. I encourage all families to sign up for Parent Conferences to check in with your child’s teacher if you have not done so already. Please review their report cards as well; these can be found using the directions below.

Thank you all for your continued support as we take on this school year together. Your children are wonderful, and we are grateful for you and your families and for all that you do to make RES an amazing place.

Now that winter temperatures are upon us, please send your student(s) in with warm winter gear for their outside recess. This will keep them warm and happy as they enjoy time on the playground with their friends.

Enjoy the weekend,

Amy & Jodi

Notes from the Nurse

Please remember to keep your child home if they have any of the following symptoms and/or illnesses:

Symptoms for different illnesses can often look very similar. Please review the illnesses listed below and monitor your child closely. Always do an at-home rapid COVID test if any symptoms develop. Reach out to your child’s pediatrician as well. If your child tests positive for COVID (please see guidelines here: RPS COVID Protocols 2022-2023) or is diagnosed with RSV or influenza, they MUST remain home until they are no longer considered contagious.
