FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL - The countdown is on — just ONE month until the first day of school on Monday, Aug. 10. Take small steps now to get ready: Adjust sleep schedules a little each week, gather school supplies and organize backpacks, keep learning going with 20 minutes of reading or math each day, mark important school dates on your family calendar, and start practicing morning routines. We can't wait to welcome everyone back for another amazing year!
Weekly Updates August 17th-21st
We had a successful first week back to school, and a special thank you to all of our students and families for making that happen. We are ready to begin our second week, and here are a few events happening this week:
Baseline assessments will continue this week. Many of our teachers started last week once students were in and settled. However, they will continue this week as well. For our Kindergarten and 1st graders, they are moving through those baselines a little slower since they must also continue with those everyday rituals and routines of how the classroom works and how things should run.
Boys and Girls Club after-school program will start on Monday for those who received acceptance and also attended the parent meeting. If you were accepted but did not attend the parent meeting, then your child will not be allowed to start on Monday. With the start of Boys and Girls Club, we will see a decrease in our car rider line and walkers' line over the next few days. Those should start to move quickly and smoother.
As a reminder for our car rider parents, if you walk up to the door, you will be turned away, or you will wait until we call those who are in the line. Our system is efficient, and the car rider line will move if you are in your car. Please do not become belligerent or rude; instead, please follow the rules.
Also, to our families that have students that are late pick up: school gets out at 3:00 pm and our line the last few days has been finished by 3:30. Next week we will be around 3:15. If students are continuously late being picked up our School Officer will make a call and then we will place the student in Extended Day for a late fee charged to the parent.
Thank you for being patient and making our first week of school successful! Have a great weekend and we will see you on Monday morning!

Welcome back RHP families! We are going to have a GREAT first day of school!
Good evening! Tomorrow is the first day of school. Parents if your child will be a car rider, please see the entrance of and the direction of the car rider line in the map. Following this route will ensure the safety of all of our students and staff. See you tomorrow morning!
Welcome back, everyone!
Tomorrow is the first day of school. Parents are allowed to walk students inside the building on Monday and Tuesday. You may enter to walk in and visit your child's teacher, drop off supplies, or give their mode of transportation for the week. Once you do so, we ask that you exit the building. We will start doing sweeps at 8:20 am and then announce 8:25 am for parents to exit the building. We must start our day by 8:30 am. Please Park in the parking lot and do not park in the car rider lanes. This will cause a backup for the flow of traffic. We will have staff outside assisting with students being dropped off in the car rider zone.
Dismissal will be chaotic this week due to the Boys and Girls Club not starting until August 17th. We are anticipating around 300 car riders on Day 1. Please follow the rules. We will have 2 car rider lanes so that we can get more cars in. Ms. Allen will record names and call them over the walkie. As you pull up, they will be there to get into your car. PLEASE DO NOT WALK UP to get your child. Our new Police Officer, Mr. Mitchell, will turn you away. You must be in a car. We will not stop to talk either. We will be working hard to get students in cars in 95-degree weather. Car riders will be dismissed around 3:50 pm.
Walkers will be dismissed down the sidewalk and towards the walkers' corner. They will be dismissed first around 2:45 pm in waves. Students without siblings will go first and then siblings will be dismissed last.
Please be patient with us and supportive. We are trying to get everyone home safely. Dismissal the first week of school is the most stressful part of the beginning of the school year. We are excited to see everyone first thing in the morning! It's going to be a great year!
Final weekend before school begins!
