Principal Message
Greetings!
1. Thank you so much for connecting with us at parent/teacher conferences! We appreciate your partnership, and hope that you had a nice, long weekend last week!
2. Way to go, 5th grade band students! They did a wonderful job at their concert Friday night at RMS!
3. Members of our PTO have been busy planning Teacher Appreciation Week! Please see the flier in this edition for more information!
4. It is the time of year when staff begin creating class lists for the next school year. Our primary goal is to provide a positive experience for all students. School staff work to create balanced classrooms with regards to personalities, abilities, needs, learning styles and peer relations. Considerations are made by members of every school team. A great deal of thought and effort goes into making these class lists. Granting every request would undo the process that has been put together. In addition, we value that the children need to learn to work in and with a variety of circumstances both in terms of staff and environment. Similar to last year, we are not taking specific teacher requests as these cannot be guaranteed. We begin this work now, finalize it over the summer, and post class lists the day of School Fest! That is an exciting day for the children! Thank you for your support and understanding.
5. Have a wonderful weekend with your family!
P Street and the parking lot is One Way during Drop Off and Pick Up
To ensure the safety of our students during drop-off and pick-up times, we kindly request that all vehicles adhere to the one-way traffic flow. This helps to minimize congestion and potential accidents in the busy area. Your cooperation in following this procedure is greatly appreciated and contributes to a smoother, safer environment for everyone.
