MAP Testing: Next week students in grades 2/3, and 6-8 will be testing in the mornings. Please make sure your child eats a healthy breakfast and gets a good night’s rest so the he or she can do well on the tests.
Teachers’ Inservice: There will be no school on Monday, September 30, due to a Teachers’ Inservice Day.
Excused Absences: If your child is absent due to illness, injury, or attending a memorial service for a family member, it is an excused absence. A note needs to be sent with your child stating the date they missed school, the reason for the absence, and needs to be signed by the parent for it to be excused. You can also email Kim Harris directly at kimharris@go2rks.com. Please read over the detailed attendance policy in our school handbook.
No Tardies Party: Thank you to our parents that have worked hard at getting their children to school on time. Our doors open at 7:45 am and students need to be seated in their classroom by 8:00 to be on time. We also have Before School Care that begins at 7:00 am in our gymnasium. There is a fee for this service, unless your child is in Preschool. At the end of each semester the students who have no tardies will be given a party during lunchtime with our principal, Ms. Baggett. Let’s all aim to arrive at 7:45, so that no one interrupts the start of class.
Jewelry: Please remember that jewelry (earrings, necklaces, rings) should not be worn at school.
School Lunches: Your child will be coming home with a lunch menu for next week. We sell Pizza on Tuesdays and Subway lunches on Wednesdays. If you would like to order anything for your child’s lunch, please return the order form along with EXACT Cash payment by Tuesday morning.
Student Council: If you are running for office, you need to have permission slips turned into Mrs. Bankes by Friday, September 20. After bringing your permission slips, you can hang your posters in the hall.
