Gradelink

s our new school information system. This past Monday, all parents from grades K-8 should have received an email with a user name and password to access this new system. Once logged in, you will be able to see grades and attendance. If you have multiple children enrolled at RLS, you will be able to switch to each child to see their progress. Please note that parents of Kindergarten students will not see daily progress of their children. Rather, they will be able to see quarterly progress reports.

Look for a tutorial video in next week's Rambler. If you have not received login information, please contact the school office.

We will also be trying out a feature in Gradelink that allows us to text families. On Friday, September 16, we will be sending out a test text. The number that will show up on your phone is 1-507-824-4836. If you haven't received a text by Friday evening please let Mr. Renner know. Thank you!

Home Cross Country Meet Volunteers

We are hosting our home cross country meet this coming Thursday, September 22. If you are able to help with timing, handing out places to finishers, or to help set up or take down the course, please contact Mr. Luepke. Thank you!

School Accreditation

Accreditation is a process in which the school evaluates its current education practices and seeks sound methods to build on its strengths and determine new ways to grow and strengthen the educational ministry of the school for the benefit of the students and parents to the glory of God.

Resurrection is beginning the Accreditation process. You may be asked to help with our school self-study as a school parent. Please consider serving if you are asked. Thank you!

Our mission for this fall is called " “Mi Amigo Jesús” (My Friend Jesus). We are partnering with the Lutheran Women’s Missionary Society (LWMS) program. Each year this program sponsors a mission project that benefits children, alternating between home and world missions. This mission is for the Family Ministry Outreach Fund–Hispanic Ministries. The offerings that we collect will support home mission congregations that want to begin or expand outreach efforts to their Hispanic families and communities with toddler/early childhood social interactive programs, such as Mornings with Mommy. We will collect our offerings on Fridays at chapel in our pod groups. Please bring dollars or coin offerings to support our first mission of the school year.

Our first collection will be held on Friday, September 23. May God bless our efforts to support His lambs!

BBQ and Bounce

Join us for food and fun on Wednesday, September 21, at 5:00pm on our Life Campus.

Our Life Campus is located at 4500 60th Avenue NW. Everyone is welcome!

Escape Reminders:

If there is a change to your child's need for escape, please notify Mrs. Lange as soon as possible. We understand plans change but need to be notified in advance (prior to the end of the school day) of the changes.

If your child isn't picked up by 3:00, they will be taken down to Escape and our normal daily fee will be charged.

If your child is scheduled to attend morning Escape but plans change that morning, please contact Ms. Taylor (507-513-3175) directly ASAP. Any other morning Escape changes should be directed to Mrs. Lange.

We are also looking for help in our Escape program. If you are interested in more information, or you know someone else who might be, please contact Mr. Renner
