Hello Parents! I hope you are having a wonderful week!

I wanted to take a moment to say how thankful I am for each and every one of your children and for you. I was so happy to see both the old and new faces this week. My heart is overflowing! I also would like to talk to you about something very close to my heart: the wellbeing of all of our Schupmann students and families.

To that end, I wanted to let you know that our district offers a few resources if you ever feel that your child or any member of your family is in need of counseling due to trauma or any other concern.

1. The first program is called Care Solace, and it is a matching program. They take your name and insurance information and they find counselors near you that fit your needs. They do all of the leg work so that you don’t have to. We have had some very positive reports from parents and families to this program. Finding a counselor can sometimes be the hardest part, and this service makes it much quicker and easier to find your perfect match.

2. The other service we offer is through Children’s Medical Center (now known as Children’s Health). Children’s will give any student on our campus 4 free online counseling sessions. These sessions can be done at the school on a special tablet (or online from home) so that no travel/getting to appointments is necessary. They can get 4 free sessions and then if there continues to be a need, Children’s will work directly with you to set that up.

Lastly, I’d like to remind you that although our school’s primary purpose is education, we also want to be a light and servants to our community. So, if you ever find your family in need, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We can’t always fix everything, but we can strive to meet needs beyond the classroom – especially when those needs affect our students’ ability to stay focused or be at school.

Remember, attendance is so important. If there is ever anything stopping you from getting your kids to school each day, please also let us know so we can find or provide assistance and support.

As always, please never hesitate to reach out if I can ever do anything for your child or your family.

Sincerely,

Angela Bartels
School Counselor

We understand there are times when you need to pick up your child early from school. We do encourage you to make appointments during after school hours, but we know there are times when that cannot be done. In the event you need to pick up your child early please do so by 2:15. You will sign your student out in the front office. Picking your child up early will result in an early sign out, and it goes against your child's attendance.

After 2:15pm - If you need to walk up to pick up your child, we ask that you wait until 3:15. Students will not be released until 3:15 from the office. Thank you for understanding; safety is a top priority, and dismissal time is a busy time for the front office.

When your student is out for the day, please let us know! Please follow this link to report the absence through the ROISD Mobile Skyward App or a Desktop computer. You may also email your student's homeroom teacher AND Mrs. Ozuna, campus Attendance/Registrar at rps.attendance@redoakisd.org

• If you must change the way your child goes home in the afternoon, please call the office as soon as possible but no later than 2:00pm to avoid any confusion during dismissal.
• Dismissal will begin at 3:05 each day. Any parents that arrives after 3:20pm will be expected to come inside to pick up their students-you must have a photo ID to pick up any student.
• The office closes at 3:30pm, so please make sure to arrive before then.
• We ask that if your student has an afternoon appointment that they be picked up before 2:15pm to avoid any issues during dismissal

After 3:05- If you are needing to walk up to pick up your child, we ask that you wait until 3:15. Students will be released at 3:15 from the office. Thank you for your understanding; safety is top priority, and dismissal time is a busy time for the front office.
