RES PRINCIPAL'S BLOG TO STAFF - Sun., April 22, 2018

Dear Rejuvenated RES Staff,
I hope your spring break was all you wished for and more!  Mine has been busy, but I finished 4 of my 5 classes, so that's a relief!  My last one this semester is Sat., May 5, so there's light at the end of my grad. school tunnel! 



KUDOS to STAFF Who "Stepped Up":  
  • Joan for stepping in and covering Kindergarten when we were short on subs.
  • Elaine L. for staying and helping with lunch on Rice Bowl Day!
Important Items to Know:

Technology Update - Over the break, we had a wireless access point installed in the multi-purpose room.  This will increase speeds in the multi-purpose room for specials.   

Field Trips - This time of year busses become scarce.  If you have a field trip planned, please get all requests to me as soon as possible.  Please make sure copies of all permission slips are in the office and take one with you as well.  Please make sure the nurse and food service are aware of your trip plans. If your field trip is not listed in the blog, I don't have it on my calendar.  Thanks!
