Sssshhhhh.....we hear the reindeer from the North Pole are coming to provide special treats, events, and gifts for our RJ teachers because they are on Santa's nice list of course!

We'd love our RJ parents' help in providing a sweet treat bar where teachers can pick their own dozen treats to enjoy over the holiday season. Drop off treats by Monday, December 16th to the front office.

Please find the sign-up genius link below to sign up to send in a sweet treat for Donner's Dozen day!

RJ 3rd graders will be performing a Christmas musical, Mrs. Claus and the Great Elf Rebellion, for the holiday season. Mark your calendars to join us for the evening performance on Thursday, Dec. 19th at 6:00PM during RJR's Holiday Open House, and/or the morning of Dec. 20th @ 8:15.

More 3rd grade Upcoming Christmas Musical Information:

Please see the 3rd grade parent letter sent previously in Bulldog Folders (and below) for more details about our 3rd grade student participation in our Christmas musical:

Class Holiday Parties:

Parents are welcome to join us at RJ for our class holiday celebrations & parties:

• Class Party times:
• 3rd @ 9:15-10:15 / Lunch @ 10:15-10:45
• 4th @ 10:00-11:15 / Lunch @ 11:15-11:45
• 5th @ 11:15-12:15 / Lunch @ 10:45-11:15

*Christmas party visitor tickets will be sent home on December 16th for RJ families, parents, and visitors. Due to increased safety and security measures, these tickets must be brought on the day of the parties to avoid sign-ins with IDs in the front office. Having these visitor tickets completed and brought in, allows our families to skip sign-in lines. If a visitor does not have the visitor ticket on this day, a sign-in through the front office will be required.

*All visitors will have visitor badges and should wear them throughout their visit at school.

*Any parent wishing to check their student out of school after the classroom parties may do so with their ID. We will have checkout stations in each hallway where staff will verify parent/guardian identification. Anyone checking a student out of school must sign the student out with appropriate staff and be listed as "pickup" in the Family Access/Skyward system

Here are just a few pictures of some of our Bulldogs winning BIG with Spirit, Pride, and Honor Prizes!

Our Bulldogs get to earn tickets from all RJ staff when they are using the 7 Habits in their daily school life, caught making great choices and leading themselves and others well, and getting Caught with Character that helps others!

Keep it up Bulldogs!

Our next prize drawings have prizes like a Nintendo Switch, mini-fridge, bluetooth speakers, a karaoke machine & mic, sports training & practice equipment, Bulldog warmies, and skincare options too!
