I hope that you had a
great weekend!
This blog is for your
information. I try to update this every week – either Monday or Tuesday.
Peanut Free
Just a reminder that we
continue to be a “peanut free” school. No peanut products are allowed at
school. Any questions, contact the school office
School Security
All of the entrance
doors are now locked from 9:00 a.m.-3:10 p.m. If you need to enter the building
during that time, please come to the front door and use the intercom that is
located to the left of the office window. You will be buzzed in and will need
to stop at the school office. (We will open the doors from 11:00 a.m.-12 noon
during preschool and kindergarten pick-up times.)
Learning Commons News
Please ask your student
about books they have checked out from the library. They would love to share
them with you! Reading together is a fun and relaxing way to spend time with
your child and promotes literacy. Be aware of which day is their library day
and remind them to return books promptly.
TRIP news
Keep up on TRIP news in
the school home bulletin!!!
End of the Day Pick-Up
Procedures
In an effort to maintain
the safety of our students, we have reminded them of the expectations for car
and bus pick-up at the end of the school day. At dismissal, students are
expected to head to the car lines, the bus doors, or After Care. Parents
who are in the building or parking lot should expect their students to join
them immediately after dismissal so we can be sure of their whereabouts.
If your student remains after school for any reason, he/she is expected
to either be in After Care or with his/her parent. Thank you for
reinforcing these expectations to assure the safety of our students.
The 5th and 6th grade students will be spending a large portion
of the day at ArtPrize on Thursday, September 25th. We will be gone from 9:00-2:00.
They will be visiting
ArtPrize venues and taking a class from an artist whose work was inspired by
fish in the Grand River—perfect for our environmentally focused students.
*We do plan to have
them back for the last hour of the day, and they will plan on attending
Band/Orchestra (5th) and PE (6th).
6th Grade News
The Environmental
Classroom students (27) are busy with fall activities. They recently
tagged over 200 autumn olive shrubs growing on the RCS property. The
autumn olive is an invasive shrub that is covering most of the east and midwest
and continues to spread. Next week the students will begin digging them
out.
On Thursday of this week
the students will be going to ArtPrize and spending time with an artist at the
GR Public Museum.
8th Grade news
Once again, the 8th
graders are preparing a time of worship around the flag pole this
Wednesday, Sept. 24.
See You At The Pole (SYATP) is a national, student-led event that centers
around the fellowship of school communities coming together to pray for not
only the local community, but also for our nation and world.
We would LOVE to have
your class and parents join us for devotions that morning. We will begin
around 8:40 and end around 8:50.
Let me know if you have
any questions.
Family Time:
Thank you to Ms.
Barrett, Mrs. Faber, Mrs. Burgess, and Ms. Jasperse for sharing pictures and
information about their trip to Kenya, where they were teaching at an orphanage
school this summer.
Ask your child about it.
Tissues
It's that time of year
when late summer allergies are prevalent. We would like to ask our families to
donate a box of tissues for classroom use. Simply drop off your donated box to
the school office. Our noses appreciate it!,
