Parent Conference are Monday, October 14th!
Titan Families,
Last week, your child's teacher sent a sign up via email for you to join them for a parent conference. These can be conducted either in person or virtually; whichever is best for your schedule. Please be sure you are able to find a time that works for your family and your child's teacher to meet. The partnership that a family has with their child's teacher is vital for your child to make progress academically, socially, and emotionally. They all look forward to meeting with you!
In addition to that, there are several opportunities for your family to engage in events on and off campus in our Titan Community! Tonight is the Four Points Middle School vs. Canyon Ridge Middle School elementary night football game! This is when ALL of our Future Vipers come together and cheer on their future middle school team. To attend the game, all you need to wear is your Titan t-shirt (yes, any Titan t-shirt) to get into the game for free! We hope to see you there! We also have our annual fall fest coming up on October 18th! This is also a FREE event for all of our Titan Community hosted by our PTA. We encourage you to consider volunteering or dropping off candy for the event if you have not done so already.
There is so much ahead in October which is why it is one our favorite months. We look forward to engaging with you even more as the school year moves along. As always, should you have any questions, please feel free to call our campus, and a member of our wonderful office team will be more than happy to support you or direct you to someone who can.
Take care and lead well,
Dr. Amy Sharp
Proud RPE Principal
TITAN EXCELLENCE OCTOBER FOCUS
We are so excited to combine two excellent programs into one great focus for our Titans. We are using Leander ISD's Ethical Principles (Culture of Caring) and Leander ISD’s Graduate Profile to make our Titan Community leadership and learning focus come to life.
What are we doing as a campus community?
Each month, we will have a new focus and will introduce Titan Excellence during our Titan Time Assembly. Then at the end of each month our teachers will choose two students from their homeroom that have exemplified these qualities through learning and leading. We will celebrate these students at our end of the month, Titan Time Assembly.
Why the change?
We want to effectively integrate important values into our school culture and provide students with regular opportunities to be celebrated for their achievements. This approach should encourage positive behavior and a strong sense of community among our Titans. Our hope is that the monthly focus and the recognition at the end of each month will help keep students engaged and motivated throughout the year.
How can you help?
We encourage you to support this effort by talking about these things at home with your Titan(s), too.

SDM & Bus Rider Passes
While we deeply appreciate your effort in ensuring your Titan's SDM is updated throughout the school year to include exceptions, we kindly ask that you contact the office via email to get a bus pass written for any Titan that doesn't typically ride the bus to ensure that your Titan is able to safely board the bus with no issue when their SDM exception is Bus Rider. Best practice would be to register your Titan for the bus using this link if these exceptions are planned for an occurrence of at least once a week. For your Titans who do typically ride the bus, please ensure that you have registered your Titan for the bus using this link. Moving forward, students will not be allowed to ride the bus in any capacity unless they've been registered or have contacted the office for a bus pass. If you have any questions, please contact the front office. Thank you!
