BEAR Talk

Roosevelt Bears,

And just like that.. it's February! How did that happen?

We love watching your student grow and blossom through this season. The academic progress really starts to take off and the celebrations just keep happening!

I encourage you to talk to your students about areas they feel are going well at school! We love to let them brag! ;)

As always we appreciate your patience and understanding in carline at the end of the day. Adherence to expectations makes sure everyone stays safe and pickup goes smoothly!

Thank you for sharing your RES Bears with us each day! What a true gift they are!

Please remember that students are not to be dropped off before 7:55am. There is no supervision outside before school.

Breakfast doors open at 7:30am; students that are having breakfast at school may enter then.

We are keeping track of tardies and should a student reach 7 unexcused tardies, they will be sent to the office to serve time after school on the bench. K-2nd grades will serve 15 minutes and 3rd-5th grade will serve 30 minutes. The tardy bell rings at 8:05am, please have your child to school by 8:00am so as not to be late.

Please check our website for up to date calendars and information!

School-aged children can experience many colds and viruses throughout the school year. Most of the time common colds will not keep your child home from school but there will be times that your child should stay home. Please follow the guidelines below to know when you should keep your child home from school because of illness.

• A fever of 100.0 or higher. They should also be sent home if their temperature is elevated and have symptoms that indicate the onset of an contagious illness such as nausea, a headache, cough and/or sneezing. It is important to remember that your child must be fever-free for 24 hours without Tylenol or any other fever-reducing medications before returning to school.

• Vomiting or diarrhea. These could be signs of a contagious illness and your child should be symptom free for 24 hours before returning to school.

• Strep throat. Your child must be on antibiotics and fever-free for 24 hours before returning to school after a diagnosis of strep throat from a doctor.

• Contagious skin conditions. Your child will be required to stay home for 24 hours after treatment has been initiated and will need a physician’s written approval to return to school.
