Parent Communication

Good Afternoon RPEL Families,

We are off to a fantastic start! Our students are learning the "Rocket Way", Respect, Pride and Integrity. We are eager to launch our school wide positive behavioral supports that support Respect, Pride and Integrity. I'm sure that you will all start to hear about Rocket Slips, The Green Machine and the Rocket Who Rocked It. These are some of the incentives that are earned for Rocket Way behaviors. We have been having a ton of fun with your students.

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

Go Rockets!

All students who are dropped off at school need to follow these guidelines for a safe start and end of the day:

• IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE CHILDREN, YOUR OLDEST ALWAYS GOES WHERE YOUR YOUNGEST IS DROPPED OFF OR PICKED UP.
• Students need to be dropped off in the at your assigned classroom door. CLICK HERE FOR MAP
• Students need to exit the vehicle on the passenger side ONLY when the car is located near a side walk. Have your students ready to exit your vehicle. Kindergarten families that need to buckle your children in car seats, please pull into a spot after your child is loaded to complete the buckling process.
• DO NOT drop your student off and ask them to walk in front of another car. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

The start and end of the day are likely going to be congested and some people may be less than patient. Please treat each other with grace, patience and understanding. If we all do this, OUR KIDS will remain safe and see a great example of how to react during stressful times.

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!

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.
