May 2022
Greetings RSPA Families,

Thank you for another wonderful and productive school year!

Thank you to all parents who go above and beyond the call of duty to provide whatever is necessary to add to our students’ already rich school experience. That experience could not occur without the endless energy, skills, and devotion of the RSPA teachers and staff. Thanks and well done to an incredible group of professionals!

A final word to all RSPA students: 

Thank you for all your hard work throughout the school year. I am honored to be your principal; you make me proud to be an RSPA Lion. I am grateful for your joy, astute insights, and amazing talents!

Best wishes to our graduating eighth graders, whom I will miss greatly —please come back and visit. 

Until next school year, please have a wonderful and safe summer break!

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 are able to do their very best. 

Note: Campus will be closed to all visitors during this time.
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 @RSPAHUMBLE to 81010. You must include the "@".
