Weekly Raider
Dear Red Rock Families,
As we are approaching fall break and the last two weeks of the quarter, it is important that students are present at school and on time as teachers will be working on assessments for grades. Please contact your child's teacher if you have any questions or concerns.
Have a great week!
Stacey LeFager
As a friendly reminder, please do not park in the designated handicap spots at the front of the school during morning and afternoon dismissal times. These spots are reserved exclusively for families and students with handicap permits.
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding in ensuring that these spaces remain available for those who need them. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
This week, our school community will focus on the Other People Mindset of Knowing That My Words and Actions Affect Others, which means having an awareness that everything that we say and do can affect others — and our relationships with them.
Whether we speak, email, text, or post, our words and actions can have a positive or negative effect. The words and actions we choose can lift others up or bring them down, and they also impact us. When we all think carefully about our words and actions and show respect and care for those around us, we create a happier and healthier community.
To practice and encourage this Other People Mindset at home, please visit the Positivity Project’s mobile-friendly P2 for Families. There, you can watch a video, read a quote, and discuss three questions together.
Thank you for your continued support!

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.
