Dear Dedicated and Hardworking Staff, Hope your weekend was productive and rejuvenating!  I'm so proud to work with such an AMAZING, CARING STAFF! KUDOS to STAFF Who "Stepped Up":   Patty and Jenn for volunteering to help with lunch duty while Cathy was away. All of you who are flexible and do whatever it takes to help a child succeed!  Everyone who handed out band-aids and water to students instead of sending them down to Teacher Libbet.  Important Items to Know : CONCERNS - We all have  big hearts and nothing but the best of intentions.   RES only has a .80 principal, so I am not here one day a week USUALLY.

This helps those of us behind do our jobs! Thanks! STUDENT BOO BOO'S & SICKNESS - Please feel free to hand out band-aids in your room and ask the children to have a glass of water or two and rest in your room quietly before

Dear Dedicated and Hardworking Staff, This will be a weekly event so that we can keep the channels of communication open.    It's been a great seven day so far!  Lots of amazing learning occurring!  This is the FIRST 5 day week, and so please pace yourself!  By Friday, we'll all be tuckered out IF we don't take care of ourselves this week!  This is the students' first 5 day week as well, so please keep that in mind as you plan your day on Thursday and Friday.   There have been several concerns expressed over the need for serious revision of the Dress Code.  As it stands now, BEFORE addressing a dress code issue with a child, please chat with Mrs. Knight OR Libbet if she's not here  1st.  The revised Dress Code is on a Google Doc and will be shared with you.  Please make your comments on it and let's discuss so we can publish the student-parent handbook. KUDOS to STAFF Who "Stepped Up":   Sheri and Liza for all their work doing mo
