School Family Compacts were sent home at the first of the month and I am happy to say we have had a great participation rate! Having 80% or more signature sheets returned helps to keep us Title 1 compliant and we have surpassed that. Thank you for all you do to help your child succeed!

The Parent Resource Room is available for you to visit during school hours, Monday-Friday. Stop in to help with preparing materials for teachers or grab some resources on several different parenting topics. Room 804 welcomes you to come visit!

I look forward to seeing you!

Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a research-based framework for

teaching and supporting positive behaviors for ALL students. This school-wide approach

to discipline focuses on building a safe and positive environment in which all students

can learn. The benefits of implementing PBIS include improved school culture, reduced office discipline referrals, reduced suspensions, increased instructional time, improved

social and emotional development, improved school safety, and increased student

engagement.

At RPS, our PBIS Expectations for all students are Responsible, Polite, and Safe. Our

behavior charts describe expected behavior in each setting of the school. Each area has

its own behavior chart posted in that area. Classroom teachers also have created a chart

specific to that class so students understand the routines for each classroom.

Throughout the school year, students are taught what it looks like to be responsible,

polite, and safe in every setting during the school day. These lessons will be re-taught

and reinforced throughout the school year and become a part of the instructional

program.

Thanks to all that supported the Duck Derby for our RPS team!

Every coin that was sent in for the penny drive went to purchase a duck, and it paid off!

I hope all that attended the event had a blast!
