RES PRINCIPAL' S BLOG TO STAFF - Sun., Dec. 31, 2017

Dear Rejuvenated RES Staff,



KUDOS to STAFF Who "Stepped Up":  
  • Jared and Amy for all their work cleaning over the break!
  • Amy and hubby for coming in and helping with the frozen pipes!
  • Heather for coming in over the holidays to do the Jan. menu.
Important Items to Know:   

Outdoor Recess - As a guideline, if the "real feel" temperature is below 10 degrees(Fahrenheit), we will have indoor recess.  It's too easy for students to get frostbite at those temperatures with the kinds of gloves that most students are wearing.  When in doubt, please check with Cathy or Sherry.  

 Staff Development - Tues., Jan. 2 is an inservice day.  As mentioned, K and 1/2 teachers do not need to participate as they put in extra time for math pd.  Please use the time as you need to in your classrooms.

 Book Fair - The Book Fair is finishing this week. 

Ski Runners - A list of students participating will be coming out next week once it's finalized.  Students who are participating know they must do any work they miss during that time.  It officially begins 1/12 due to the cold temperatures.

Happening this Week: 
  • Tues., Jan. 2 - 
    • In-service Day for Staff - Will occur at School.  (All staff who work on Tues. are to participate except for K, 1-2, they are "off" for the extra Math PD. )
