Redhawk Reader

Thank you so much to all of our families who came out for Open House this week! If you were unable to make it, teachers will be providing the resources shared via email. Please take the time to check your email and go over this important information to help your child have a successful year!

The transporation department shared that our cars are frequently getting in the way of busses leaving Anthony. Most busses leave Anthony, go to another elementary school, and THEN come to Rennell to take students home. If we are holding busses up for Anthony, we are holding busses up for Rennell, too. As a reminder, please DO NOT arrive to line up for afternoon car rider prior to 3:30 pm. We are noticing that many parents of Anthony students are having students walk over and meet them in the Rennell car line to avoid going through the Anthony car line. This causes cars to back up and block the Anthony busses from being able to leave because you are arriving at Rennell too soon. Again, please refrain from arriving at Rennell and lining our front walk or shared driveway with Anthony until after 3:30pm.

The district has rescheduled Nature Trails field trips for 3rd and 5th grades in order to clear debris. Rennell is now scheduled to go in January 2025.

Please help us by checking with your student to ensure he/ she has all items needed for a successful school day. We are unable to accommodate the dropping off of items due to not having staff to secure and deliver forgotten items. Thanks for your understanding!

Parents:

If you are seeking Gifted and Talented testing for your student in grades 1st-5th, please see the below flyer with step by step instructions and dates.

*All kindergarten students will be automatically screened for the GT Program.*

Please be advised of the process of choosing the district HORIZONS Parent Advisory Committee (HPAC) . The 2024 - 2025 HORIZONS Parent Advisory Committee comprised of parents/guardians of gifted and talented students will be formed using the district’s committee application.
