Rushville Elementary Weekly Update

.

RES Families,

The PTG hosted a festive Christmas Family Night on Thursday. Families made bookmarks, colored ornaments, enjoyed hot chocolate and cookies and even took pictures with Santa Claus himself. What a fun surprise it was to get a visit from Santa. We had a great turn out and look forward to our next PTG Family Night. Thank you to all the parents for helping make this event successful!

Friendly reminders:

We DO get to come to school on Friday, December 22nd. There has been a little confusion about this, but Christmas Break begins on December 25th and students will return on Monday, January 8th.

We have a new school website: https://www.rushville.k12.in.us/o/res - Check it out for current updates. You can also view our current menu on the website for any changes that occur during the week.

During the week of Dec. 18-22 students and staff are invited to participate in our Christmas Spirit Week. Please see the flyer below to plan the special attire and/or accessories your child can wear to help celebrate the final week before Christmas Break.

Have a relaxing weekend

Mrs. Myers, RES Assistant Principal

1. You are a STUDENT first, then an athlete. Make sure and keep your grades up so you can participate.

3. You must attend practice and be an active participant in practice to compete in meets. If you need to miss practice for any reason please inform one of the coaches or the

school.

4. The 1st unexcused absence will result in having to do extra work in practice. The 2 nd will result in having to sit out a competition. The 3rd can result in being released from the team.

5. Practice will be held in the High School Wrestling Room located in the gym addition.

6. Practice will run from 5:15 PM– 6:30 PM. DO NOT ARRIVE BEFORE 5:00 PM. You cannot stay after school unless you are participating in another activity (weights, track, FFA, study tables, etc.). Practice times will be adjusted after the high school season is over.

7. Wrestlers are expected to be on their BEST behavior while in the gym addition. NO EXCEPTIONS. Please be a team player and think of others.

8. We can use the locker room to change but cannot leave anything in the locker room during practice. Do not wear your wrestling shoes outside.

9. Wrestling is a physical sport. Bumps and bruises can and will occur. If your athlete has an injury please get it looked at. If they see a Dr. and has restrictions for practice the coaches will need a copy of the note from the Dr.

10. Bring your own water bottle to practice. We will not supply water bottles. The bottle filler in the gym addition is working so bottles can be refilled.

11. The schedule could change at any time with the COVID situation. We will do our best to inform every one of any changes that occur as soon as we are informed of them.

Thank you

This year we are not able to have clothes returned that are given to students when they have an accident or spill something on themselves. Our clothes closet is getting a bit bare. If you can, please send a change of clothes with your child in a bag that can be left in his/her cubbie. This way we have the size needed and do not have to call if we need a change of clothes to be brought to school.

Thank you
