Weekly Raider
Dear Red Rock Families,
I want to thank all our students, parents, teachers, staff and PTO for transforming our campus into an amazing Fall Festival! Without your help, this event would not have been such a success.
Thank you to our families and community for setting up a great trunk or treat for our community! The decorations were fabulous!
Thank you to our families and community for coming out and being a part of the festival! It was so wonderful seeing everyone out having fun!
Please remember our students can dress up for Halloween on Oct. 31. Please read below for our school expectations for the costumes.
Have a great week!

Food Allergies & Treats
Important Notice for Our School Families:
Please help us maintain a safe environment by refraining from sending any nut or peanut products to school with your child for snacks and treats. This also includes any snacks or treats made in a facility with peanuts/tree nuts. Please review the ingredients label for “May contain peanuts/tree nuts” and/or “this product was produced in a facility that has peanuts/tree nuts.” We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to the school office for more clarification. If we feel there is a concern for the safety of food allergies, the food item will be sent back home. Fry's offers cupcakes that meet this criteria.
If your child has any food allergies, please contact the school health office to create a Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Emergency Care Plan (FARE). We will also determine if your child will need a designated area to eat lunch each day. Your child’s safety is our top priority.
Positivity Project (P2)
Other People Mindset - Supporting Others When They Struggle
This week, our school community will focus on the Other People Mindset of Supporting Others When They Struggle. This means when other people are struggling, we do our best to help them out.
Supporting other people when they struggle is a critical part of being human. There are many different approaches to helping people who are struggling. These can include listening while they describe an event and their feelings about it, taking action to help people in need, or simply being there and sitting together in silence. Everyone faces tough days and needs support, and this support leads to a chain of prosocial behavior that makes us feel good about ourselves and our group.
To practice and encourage this Other People Mindset at home, please visit The Positivity Project’s mobile-friendly P2 for Families (available in English and Spanish), where you will watch a video together and discuss a quote and three questions. Below are links to this week’s P2 for Families lessons. Click on the grade level that best meets your child’s needs.
Thank you for your support!
Red Ribbon Week ~ October 28-November 1
iReady
Students have been completing their reading and math diagnostic on iReady. Once their diagnostic is completed, students will receive lessons in their iReady dashboards under their My Path, which are specific lessons that were identified that your child needs more support in. We ask that students complete 40 minutes a week in math, and 40 minutes a week in reading, to fill in any gaps they may have. There are opportunities to complete this in class, but if you have a device at home, students may also get additional lessons completed at home.
Please contact your child's teacher if you would like your child to complete these lessons at home and you need their login information.
