THE RPI PULSE

Your source for all things RPI! March 21, 2021

A quick note from the principal's desk...

Good Afternoon RPI Families,

I have been looking over the analytical data from this newsletter from the beginning of the year until now. Unfortunately, I am seeing that roughly 70% of all people who receive this newsletter spend only 1 minute or less viewing it...with the majority of that being less than a minute. Using this data, we are going to cut back to communicating every other week or perhaps once per month. Knowing that your teachers communicate weekly, I feel that we can make this shift while not losing site of important information.

Please also know that if there is important information that is timely, you will receive that from me in separate communications.

We have our next Parent Connect PTO Meeting tomorrow night! See the PTO section below for the Zoom Link. Please join us to see how we can reignite the great group that seeks to support both teachers and students here at RPI!

Please reach out should you have any questions or concerns! We are HERE for YOU!

Have a great week everyone! Go Rockets!

Scott Panozzo

2021 Bond Proposal Information

On May 4, 2021, the Reeths-Puffer Board of Education is asking for voters to approve a 1.95 mill increase that would generate $23 million for school upgrades, updates and improvements.

These critical upgrades, updates and improvements would address many of the needs and issues that are permeate the RPI/RPEL campus. This would repair leaking roofs, improve our ability to provide consistent heat in our classrooms, improve parking and traffic flow at drop off and pickup, replace exterior doors and windows.
