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 -

                  Dear Dedicated Staff, It's hard to believe this is the last staff blog  of  the school year.  Thank you for taking the time  to read  it even though you are crazy busy with end of year items.   I want to commend those of you who are ALWAYS professional and focused on students, and kind and courteous to your colleagues and myself.  We all have an exhausting job, but it's time for a well deserved rest.   Change is always a challenge.  I applaud those of you who accept and welcome change with a  positive  attitude and as an opportunity for growth.  I hope you have a rejuvenating summer.  I'd love to have our returning staff over to my home for a cook-out in late August.   I'll be sending out an e-mail to those of you who check it.  I'll be in and out throughout the summer, so don't  hesitate  to text me if you have any questions.   We wish Beth Ann, Libbet, Greg, and Pam the best as they begin their next leg of life's journey!  You will be missed!
