May 2022
Greetings, Northshore Family and Friends! 

April showers bring May flowers! As we wrap up the 2021-2022 school year, I would like to thank each of you for your support and for withstanding some significant changes this year. You all have endured administration changes, staff changes, COVID, and bad weather days, but through it all, we remained connected, and for that, I truly appreciate you.  

Moving through the rest of the month, we still have work to do. We have STAAR testing for our 3rd-6th grade scholars and end-of-the-year assessments for our Pk-2nd grade scholars. Our teachers are working hard to ensure growth and academic success for each of our scholars.  

This month we are also letting the good times roll with Field Experiences, Awards ceremonies, and a campus-wide Field Day. Our scholars will enjoy the last few weeks of school as they take on a few adventures with their classmates and teachers!

I am excited about the 2022-2023 school year. Next year, I am bringing intramural sports, a dance team, student council, and safety patrol to the campus for our scholars to participate in. I want them to be involved in taking care of our school.  

As always, my door is always open. Please feel free to stop by anytime. Have a safe and relaxing summer, and see you next year! 

Every child, Every Day, 100% of the time!

COVID-19 UPDATE

Due to the suspension of COVID-19 testing via our third-party vendor, a lack of available tests, and a decreased number of positive cases, RSPA will conclude onsite testing for its staff and scholars effective immediately (please see additional testing sites below).

Campus-wide staff & parent COVID-19 email notices will also cease. However, RSPA will continue to individually notify the parents of scholars who have been in close contact with a positive case while on campus. 

RSPA will continue to follow state guidelines and notify the local health department and the Department of State Health Services. In this regard, please continue to report all positive tests to the district by emailing covidresponse@rhodesschool.org and taking the steps outlined on our website here.

Additional Parent Announcements & Reminders

Testing Tibits:
Parents, we have STAAR Testing on May 5th-13th. We want to ensure all of our scholars are well prepared. We need all students in attendance each day on time and well-rested to ensure scholars can do their very best. 

Note: Campus will be closed to all visitors during this time.
Tutorials:
We have after-school tutorials Monday - Thursday from 3:45- 4:45 for 3rd - 6th grade. This is a great way for your scholar to receive help in Math and Reading. If you want your scholar to attend, please email Mrs. Akers: at sakers@rhodesschool.org.

Field Day:
Field Day for K-6th grade is May 27th from 9:00a-12:00p. Field Day tickets are 5 for $1. Tickets are for games, rides, and food!

Nurse’s Notes: 
Parents, immunizations must be up-to-date (or a current affidavit must be on file to exempt a student from receiving immunizations) for a student to remain enrolled in school. Also, if your child has to borrow a school uniform, please return them back to the school. 


Parent Pick-Up & Drop-Off Times:
Morning drop-off time is at 7:15a and early pick-up ends at 2:50p daily. If you need early drop-off or late pick-up, Crayon Club (6:00a-6:00p) is available for a fee. Thank you for your strict adherence to this policy.

Attendance:
Please make sure that your child attends school daily. It is imperative to their academic success and growth in school. Just as a reminder: students who miss 10 or more school days, may receive an attendance behavior contract and could be subject to compulsory attendance laws. Also, 3 tardies are equivalent to one absence.

Re-Enrollment:
Parents, re-enrollment packets for the 2022-2023 school year opened on April 1st. If you have not had an opportunity to complete it, please check your email or log in to your SchoolMint account & do so as soon as possible. Re-enrollment packets are required every school year and failure to do so will result in your student losing his/her spot for the upcoming year. Please do not hesitate any longer. If you have any questions concerning the packets, feel free to reach out to your campus registrar.  

Note: If you are asked for an access code, please ensure you are attempting to log in to your original account. If you don't remember your credentials, hit "forgot password" & follow the necessary steps. You can also request your username by emailing admissions@rhodesschool.org.

To receive campus updates, text @RSPANS to 81010. You must include the "@".
