Picture Day Details

April 9

Spring picture day for all students is coming up on Tuesday, April 9. Like for Fall pictures, our Toddler and Children’s House students will have a different ordering procedure than our elementary and middle school students:

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 Spring-themes 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: EVTFM6XKX (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.

Out and About Over Break

Library Exhibit

Our middle school art will be displayed in the glass case inside Hedberg Library throughout March. The student artwork displayed illustrates their exploration of specific art forms and skills, connection and responses to poets and authors, and three-dimensional answers to project-based questions. These represent work created for English Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, and Art classes.

Bids 4 Kids Volunteer Opportunities

We need lots of help to pull off this big event and are looking for volunteers to serve in a variety of ways:  



• Set-up, Friday, 4/19, Noon-3. (Moving furniture, setting up tables/chairs/linens, decorations, etc.)

• Day of the event: We have one-hour shifts for the following: Raffle ticket table, folks to walk around with some tickets to sell, wine pull table, checkout (take payments from auction winners and mark sheets as paid), and finally, volunteers for the clean-up crew (put tables/chairs away, general clearing, and taking trash out).  
• Donations - you can also earn hours from donating auction baskets! If you are planning to donate a basket, please have that turned in to Melissa by April 5.

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.

Besides RaiseRight,

we collect the following items to turn in for funds.

Please place in labeled boxes in lobby, drop off in office

or give to office staff at morning drop-off.



Recycled Technology - Inkjet Cartridges

We participate in the Planet Green E-Waste Recycling Program. We receive funds for various inkjet cartridges we recycle. Please note that due to program changes, this program only applies to inkjet cartridges, not laser or toner cartridges. Please bring your cartridges to the office or drop off in the outside Office bin.
