Parent Communication

Good Afternoon RPEL Families,

There are a few new pieces of information in this Parent Communication. I have also added a section that highlights the known changes to our lunch and breakfast menus for the week.

Our school office is open from 8:00-4:00 daily. Please call our office 744-4777 with any questions.

Go Rockets!

Mr. Klimsza

We have been experiencing a high volume of phone calls to the office at the end of the day for early pick ups and ride changes. It can be very difficult to get to all of these in a timely manner. Please try to have your transportation set for the week. Also remember that our school day ends at 3:45.

Thank you!

Monday 9/20 Lunch: Sweet & sour meatballs w/ brown rice (instead of teriyaki beef w/ brown rice)

Friday 9/24 Breakfast: Cinnamon waffles (instead of blueberry waffles)

We have five lunch monitors that supervise our lunch in the classroom program. Each monitor follows the same schedule each day. This has helped these individuals get to know our students. Many of our monitors are familiar faces to many of our students, three of the five monitors are also our school bus drivers!

Our monitors and the classroom they monitor are:

Mr. Robert - Ruff, Medema, Shafer, Boes, Radecki

Mrs.Kovalcik - Reed, Ross, Wheeler, Bryson, Bignall

Mrs. Martinez - VanderMeer, Thorns, Schilling, Hildebrant

Mrs. Chase - Prysock, Oyler, Hernandez, Machinski

Mrs. Ferris - Portice, Griswold, Yarian, Harris, Disselkoen

Great News! All students can receive free breakfast and lunch.

Parents - our lunch in the classroom is monitored by our classroom lunch monitors. Our monitors are employed by the school district.

Parents,

A new and exciting opportunity is coming your child's way this year at R-PEL! We will be sharing digital reading calendars every month. This calendar will include simple, fun activities to engage your child and boost their reading time at home. The calendar will include links for certain activities and a form to fill out at the end of each month to let us know which activity they enjoyed the most. Names of students will also be drawn for prizes along the way! Let's get started with our September calendar! Have fun!

Troops are forming for all girls who are in K-12! Cost to join is only $25 and financial aid is available (new troops may charge nominal dues for supplies).

Arbor Circle is excited to announce our next 10-week session of the evidence-based Nurturing Parenting program. This program will be held virtually through Zoom. Please see the attached flyer for pertinent information.

They must be worn on the bus, in school and in the classroom. There will be mask breaks during the day, including recess and when eating breakfast and lunch. Please send your child to school with one that is fun to wear and comfortable. You might want to consider sending an extra mask, just in case. We will also have extra masks on hand.
