Reminders

PTO Holiday Shop
Our PTO is hosting the Holiday shop again for us this school year. This will start this week (Dec 4-8) where students can purchase items for family members for Christmas. Encourage the students to be mindful of their money this week and to keep purchased items in specific spot in your classroom like their backpacks. 

Santa Pictures
On Friday, Dec 8, Santa will be here to take pictures with the students. Also it's a great opportunity for team group pictures too!

Staff Meeting
Our next Staff Meeting will be on Monday, December 11 @ 3:30pm. Please make arrangements to be here and on time.

March Primary Election
We're working to help you exercise your right to vote - especially in this next election. We'll be sharing some resources and information with you to help you make informed decisions for this next election year so you will know where candidates stand on educational issues. Below is a link for some important dates to keep in mind.


New Information

Instructional Material Storage
With many of you getting new instructional materials for your classroom it has been requested that certain materials be stored in the book room. We have been in there trying to move items around, but at this time we will not be able to add any additional materials to the book room.

With more instructional space that has been added the past couple of years that room now is the testing room/PIEMS records room/supply room/book room. This has eaten up any extra space we have had in there. Please utilize your work rooms, POD storage rooms and classrooms to store additional materials you have. Please also remember you can use a handful of the math workbooks each year. These are great resources for tutoring/RTI, or to send home with a student needing extra practice!

Virtual Chat with Santa (by Julia Robinson)
I just had to send this link to you for the Virtual Chat with Santa Claus on December 12th. This link also contains a form where you can submit questions for Santa and other pertinent information about the event.

I also like the email.santa webcam site and reindeer cam. They are lots of fun too.

Staff Meeting/Christmas Ornament Exchange
Our next staff meeting will be on Monday, December 11 @ 3:15pm will be used as a Christmas Ornament Exchange hosted by Martha Edwards. Bring a favorite finger food to share and a wrapped ornament (under $10) to exchange. A directional Christmas game may also be played, so having $3 ready would add to fun!

Progress Reports (by Lori Dreiling)
I will be printing progress reports Wednesday 12/6. Please have all grades in by 9:30. I will print the reports and put them in your mailbox. Please send them home on Thursday. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Hour of Code
On Wednesday, all staff and students will be participating in the Hour of Code contest hosted by our district. Jennifer Chaney and several of our interventionists will be helping our students to code for one (1) hour this day. I would like to see our staff member coding also to model this with their kids. This is a great opportunity to take pictures and share on social media with the hashtags #HourofCode & #RCISDJoy
