Hello Parents,

September is upon us, and school is in full swing. Here at RSPA, we have a strong focus on reading, so please encourage your child to read for at least 20 minutes each night. In addition to reading, we also encourage our students to study their basic math facts for immediate recall. Math skills require multiple processes, and it is very important that facts are memorized to make solving problems easier, thus also helping students achieve greater success. A great way to help students study math facts is with flash cards. 

Join me on the last Tuesday of every month for Pastries with the Principal!

Remember, 98 is GREAT! So don't be late! Arrive on time every day in the month of September and enjoy an Ice Cream Social with your friends!

Social Emotional Development Skills for the Month:

Self-Management Skills

Dear Parents,

Here at RSPA, we will be very busy learning about emotions as part of our social-emotional development. Learning happens best when it is done both at school and home. Below are target skills for your scholar depending on their age group. Remember, it is a process to develop and manage emotions. Not everyone has the same learning ability. Let's continue to support, explore, and learn to manage our emotions!

Additional Parent Announcements & Reminders

Parent Pick-Up & Drop-Off Times:

Morning drop-off time begins at 7:15a, and early pick-up ends at 2:40p daily. If your child is tardy during morning arrival, you must park, come into the front office, and sign your child in. After 2:40p, parents are not permitted to enter the building, and students must leave during the regular dismissal time. 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.

Dismissal Safety:

1. Please remain in your car at all times.

2. If you have multiple scholars, please pick up your scholars at the pick-up spot for the oldest sibling or the person they are riding home with.

3. Children will not be permitted to cross the street to enter your car during dismissal. Please help us keep your children safe by working with us regarding this.

Transportation Change:

Any mode of transportation changes must be communicated to the front office by 2:00 pm. Please do not communicate any changes to your child's teachers.

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.

Spirit Shirts & Planners:

You may purchase spirit shirts for $10 and required student planners for $5 at the front office anytime EXCEPT: 7:30a - 8:00a and 2:40p and 3:45p.
