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!

                    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!
