All unwanted candy can be brought to

the atrium and dropped off from November 5th-8th

NO SCHOOL

Friday, November 1st - Teacher Communication/Grading

Monday, November 4th - Staff Development

In anticipation of cold weather and snow that is inevitably coming, starting on Tuesday, November 5th, our preschool parents will be parking in the front lot (see map) before walking to Door W to pick up their preschoolers and K-5 sibling(s). They will be using the crosswalk, so please watch for increased use of this crosswalk and help us keep everyone safe.

As we have seen outside this week, the weather changes quickly around here.

Please make sure that your student is prepared to go outside in changing weather.

We try to get the students outside for recess as much as we can even in the cold, so please make sure to send appropriate clothing for students, coats, hats, gloves etc.

Thank you for your help!

In recognition of Veterans Day, Rice Lake Elementary PTO will be putting together a Wall of Honor in the Atrium to recognize and honor family members of students and staff
