We are so excited to be starting our new school year. The year has begun, and we are loving the energy of all the students this year. We have some new staff members and lots of returning staff that are here to assist Rupert Elementary to be the best we can be!!

Please join us for a Family BBQ and Resource Fair on September 18th from 5:30-6:30pm. Dinner will be provided, and we will be accepting gently used clothing donations for our new Rupert Elementary clothing closet. We will also have free information and resources from local community partners. And just a reminder, we are always accepting donations of disinfecting wipes and tissues.

The PTO is always looking for new parents to help out throughout the year. If you interested in joining the PTO please let the front office know and we can get you in touch with them.

It is time to order Spirit Wear. Click on the picture below and it should take you to the link to order! Remember Thursdays are our spirit days. We try to all wear our Rupert gear, or wear red, white and blue!

Our counselor has been hard at work in creating a resource manual for parents. See the attachment below. This is NOT a comprehensive list of all available resources but it will be helpful to have all of these resources in one place. If you have any questions or need additional information please call the school counselor, Courtney White, at 208-436-9707 or visit https://211-idaho.communityos.org/ or call 2-1-1.

The Rupert Elementary Backpack Program provides a weekend supply of nutritious food for children when school lunch and breakfast is unavailable on a weekend or school holiday. All food is provided to children free of charge. It is our hope that these resources will support the health, behavior, and achievement of every student who participates.

While the program is intended to help those children whose families find it difficult to have enough food for the entire month, all children are eligible for this program.

The program is run by staff and students who help pack the food bags. The program is provided for by the United Methodist Church Food Bank program.
