A Message from Mrs. Stauffer
Dear Rainbow Families,
Even though we have had a few days where it has been unseasonably warm, this is just a reminder that students need to come to school properly dressed for the weather. Please take the weather into consideration when you dress your child for the day. As the weather gets cooler, jackets and coats will be necessary for your child to bring to school. Please continue practicing zipping up jackets at home with younger students. Please remember to LABEL EVERYTHING!
Speaking of clothing, if your student is missing clothing items and you are visiting Rainbow for Parent Teacher Conferences, please be sure to check the Lost and Found in the cafeteria for missing items.
Picture Retake Day is November 14th – Bring your smiles! Picture retakes are for the new students or students who were absent on the original picture day, or for students who would like a retake.
