RDES Update
GAME ON!
A Message from Mrs. Hyatt
This newsletter is packed full of great information!
What a great week we had and the upcoming week will be full of learning too! Report cards go home on Thursday. If you have not had a parent conference, please sign up with your child's teacher soon. Teachers want to share all that has been learned as well as how to support your child at home.
Our second graders will continue testing this week taking the CogAT test Monday - Wednesday and our third, fourth and fifth graders will be completing the quarter 1 benchmark math assessment. Please encourage students to take their time and do their best.
Water safety is essential. Fourth graders go swimming this week, Monday - Thursday. We want all students to feel comfortable while in the water. Don't forget your swim suits.

Begin with the end in mind.
- As the students, staff and families of Richmond Drive, we take the time to define our vision and purpose clearly.
- We have the opportunity to define outcomes before we act.
- We can make choices that shape our future, rather than leaving it up to other people or circumstances.
Book Fair - Coming in 1 Week (Nov 6-10)
