Picture Day Date
New Process for Elementary and Middle School Orders
Due to photographer availability, we are having all students have their picture day on the same day: Tuesday, October 17.
Toddlers’ and Children’s Houses
Our Toddler's House and Children's House students will all have a gray background for their school pics, as well as a warm, barnwood background for their fun pics. Picture proof envelopes will be sent home in backpacks the day after picture day. There will be an option to order online, or use the envelope to order by the deadline indicated on the envelope. (Please note that picture proofs will not be able to be viewed online until at least 48 hours after picture day to allow for processing and upload.) If you do not order by the deadline, pictures can still be ordered, but must be ordered online and shipped at your own expense.
Elementary and Middle School
Elementary and Middle School students will have their pictures taken through the Lifetouch school age division. Parents will be able to choose a digital background choice when they make their order. You may either order ahead of time without seeing proofs by visiting the MyLifetouch.com website and using our picture day code: EVTQ376KM (code will be inactive after 2 days past picture day). If you prefer to wait to see a proof before ordering pictures, those will be sent to us approximately 3-4 weeks after picture day with the option to mail in your order, or order online with a different code and ordering instructions.

Montessori For Small Hands Catalog Orders Due October 13
Catalogs and order forms have gone home with families, but we have extras if you have a relative or friend that would like to order. This catalog offers parents a wide selection of child-sized, age-appropriate Montessori materials that will support your child’s development at home. Many families enjoy purchasing these materials as gifts for birthdays and holidays. Orders over $25 also earn Rock Prairie Montessori School 10-15% credit toward classroom materials.
There are tags hanging above the coffee maker in the lobby, sorted by classroom, with teacher wish list items. You are welcome to take a tag, order the item, and when it arrives, bring the item with the tag to the teacher.
The orders are due Friday, October 13 (no exceptions), and can be submitted to the school office. SHIPPING IS FREE UNTIL THIS DATE. Please attach a check, made out to RPMS, to your order. (Order online via https://www.forsmallhands.com/scp/117755 before October 25 and you can be part of the free shipping as well and get the order before the holidays!) Orders will be delivered before Winter Break, if you would like to purchase gifts for the holidays.

Trick or Treat
While we discourage students from dressing up at school for Halloween, we invite them to dress up and join in some trick or treat fun as the RPMS staff host a Trick or Treat on Thursday, October 26, 5:45-6:45 pm. We will have the gym set up that night, ready to fill treat bags and delight in all the fun costumes. Parents are invited to dress up as well; we just ask that costumes not be scary, violent-looking, or loud so that our event will be family friendly. After taking your trick or treater around, enjoy some light refreshments and community time with staff and families. We are looking forward to this bit of Halloween fun!

Family Volunteer Hours
RPMS families are asked to contribute 10 volunteer hours before the end of the school year. Virtual and in-person parent meetings, parent education events, observations and conferences are included in these hours; double attendance means double the hours! Always refer to the Weekly Update for volunteer opportunities; though some opportunities will be emailed out separately. Families can log their volunteer hours online at: https://bit.ly/RPMShours. Any unfulfilled hours will be invoiced at $10/hour in June.
