Reynolds' Report
Hello Roadrunner Families!
This week is our extra early release conference week. Students will dismiss at 12:30pm each day. If your student normally goes to CARE, they will go to CARE at dismissal. All students will have the option of eating school lunch before they dismiss at 12:30pm.
It is our goal to have a parent-teacher conference for every student on our campus. Our partnership with parents is the best tool we have in ensuring students are successful at school. If you have not yet scheduled a conference with your student's teacher, please reach out to them for a time slot. We have translation services available and our teachers work hard to be flexible with their time if you need a time slot outside of our normal times.
While you're on campus for your conference, please be sure to check our lost and found for your student's lost items. These items will be outside the front gate for you to peruse.
Remember that there will be no school from November 25th-29th for Thanksgiving Break. Our next weekly update will be December 1st.
We look forward to seeing you this week!
Have a lovely week, Roadrunners!

- Earn Box Tops for participating products by scanning receipts with the Box Tops app.
- When you shop online or use delivery services, you can earn Box Tops by forwarding your e-receipt to receipts@boxtops4education.com or by uploading it with the Box Tops app. Learn more about submitting e-receipts here.
