A Message from Mrs. Hyatt
Hello Families,
Students will be celebrating Valentine's Day Wednesday, February 14th. We are all excited.
This is our one official celebration with no food restrictions! All food items must be store bought. No homemade items will be accepted at school. Please check with the teacher about items needed for the celebration.
We appreciate and love when family members come to eat lunch with their children. Please remember this is a time for your and your child(ren). We ask that you not ask other students come to the stage to eat with you.
Family members - we would appreciate your support to help us grow into a stronger school tp support students. Below is a link to a survey for family members to complete. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey.

Richmond Drive is implementing a whole-school transformational process called the Leader in Me, which teaches 21st-century leadership and life skills to students and creates a culture of student empowerment based on the idea that every child can be a leader. Click the purple box below.
Richmond Drive will be conducting surveys to learn more about key areas of strength and areas of needed growth in our school. In order for us to have a holistic picture of what is going on in our school, we are asking all families and community members to participate.

Leader in Me - Growing Leaders at RDES
Every child at Richmond Drive Elementary is a Leader. Ask your child what they have learned about each of the habits and how they are showing leadership at school and home.
Be Proactive - September
Begin with the End in Mind - October
Put First Things First - November
Think Win-Win
Thinking Win-Win embraces an attitude that continually seeks mutual benefit in our interactions with others. It is choosing to believe that there is plenty for everybody and that other people’s success doesn’t come at a cost to us.
Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood (Listen Before You Talk)
To practice Empathic Listening is listening with the sole intent to understand another person within their frame of reference. It is recognizing that we have greater influence with others if we truly understand them first.

Nurse Information
Fall/Winter weather has arrived.
With the change in temperatures respiratory illness are ramping up. Let’s keep down the spread of germs and consider the following questions when your child is sick:
1. Does your child’s illness keep him/her from comfortably
taking part in activities?
2. Does your sick child need more care than the staff can give
without affecting the health and safety of other children?
3. Could other children get sick from being near your child?
If the answer to any of these questions is “Yes,” please keep your
child home.
See the link below for SC DHEC’s lists of illnesses in which a child must be kept home from school:
http://www.scdhec.gov/health/child-teen-health/school-exclusion
If you have any questions about the School Exclusion List, please contact school nurse.
Let’s make this a great Fall/Winter and take control of the spread of these germs.
Thank you,
Nurse Smith
