Fill it out, add some color, attach a picture of your Veteran in uniform, and turn it into your teacher! (we will return original photos) If the form is misplaced, you can print one here: https://tinyurl.com/Veterans-Day-Sheet

Rice Lake Elementary will be collecting leftover candy again this year to bring to the Fire Stations, Police and Veterans Medical Center.

All unwanted candy can be brought to

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

As we work to keep our schools and students safe,
Rice Lake will not be having a character parade this month.
There will be fall celebrations in individual classrooms.
Please watch for information to come from your student's teachers.

Thank you for your cooperation.

A friendly reminder to put your student's attendance into Parent Portal if they are going to be late, leaving early or absent. Please do your best to have the attendace reporting
in by the start of the school day so teachers are notified.
If you have not reported an early release by 1:00pm, please call the office (763-792-5700) to let us know.

If no reason is given for the absence, late arrival or early release, your student will be marked unexcused.

We appreciate all you can do to set appointments outside of school hours.
