Richmond Drive Tiger Time
April 21, 2024 - Title 1 / Leader in Me School
A Message from Mrs. Hyatt
Hello Families,
Wow! The weather over the weekend was a bit scary for some of our families. Thoughts are with everyone as the hail and wind caused some damage as well as power outages to some areas of Rock Hill.
Jackets - Coats - Hoodies
There are quite a few items in our lost and found. If your students is missing an item, please have them look in lost and found. All unclaimed items on Friday, April 26 will be donated.
Help us have less tardies! Be on time. Teaching starts at 7:45am when the tardy bell rings, so we need everyone present and on time. Thank you for your support.
Tardies and Early Pick Up counts towards attendance.
The staff at Richmond Drive Elementary appreciate all of your help and support. We love volunteers to come into classes and help around the school. Please sign up to volunteer. Volunteer application link: https://www.rock-hill.k12.sc.us/Page/1188

Leader in Me - Growing Leaders at RDES
Every child at Richmond Drive Elementary is a Leader. Ask your child what they have learned about each of the habits and how they are showing leadership at school and home.
Be Proactive
Begin with the End in Mind
Put First Things First
Think Win-Win
Thinking Win-Win embraces an attitude that continually seeks mutual benefit in our interactions with others. It is choosing to believe that there is plenty for everybody and that other people’s success doesn’t come at a cost to us.
Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood (Listen Before You Talk)
To practice Empathic Listening is listening with the sole intent to understand another person within their frame of reference. It is recognizing that we have greater influence with others if we truly understand them first.
Habit 6: Synergize (Together is Better)
Synergy means collaborating to create 3rd Alternatives rather than settling for compromise. When we Synergize, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Value differences
Seek a 3rd Alternatives.
