R-PTLE Weekly Family Communication
Week of May 6th 2024 (#34)
Teacher Appreciation Week!!!
Dear Families,
This week is Teacher Appreciation Week. I hope you are able to share a conversation or two with your student(s) to hear how much they appreciate their teachers. I will invite you show your appreciation for your student(s) teacher in any form or fashion you choose. Teaching and learning IS REALLY HARD. We are so grateful for the highly skilled teachers in our community. We are so lucky to have a group of educators who care so deeply for the children in our school. Please join in and celebrate our teachers for ALL they do.

Red Bandanna Kids!
4th graders who not only display the Rocket Way (Respect-Pride-Integrity), they also consistently display a helping hand, a thoughtful gesture, and/or a general positive effect on our learning community. These students will engage with supporting younger students and take on other various leadership roles during the next two weeks.
