Weekly Updates May 4th-8th
Welcome back this week! We are officially in May! There are 17 days left of the 2025-2026 school year. We are in the middle of testing season. Here are our updates for the week.
Our Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd graders completed their state test last week. We will complete our make-ups this week. Our Kindergarten through 2nd-grade students will also complete their STAR CBM test as well.
3rd graders will take their FAST-Reading Test on Tuesday and Wednesday. Group 1 will test on Tuesday, and Group 2 will test on Wednesday. We are looking for 100% attendance on both days. We are doing everything we can to ensure students are calm, prepared, and confident for testing so their attendance matters. They will test better within their normal testing groups. Make sure they are on time. If you need them to eat breakfast, then please make sure they are at school before 8:30 am. Our students have been preparing for this, and now it is their time to shine!
5th graders will take their FAST-Science Test on Thursday. Just like our 3rd graders, we are looking for 100% attendance for our 5th graders. They are prepared and ready so having them at school and on time will help their nerves and stress levels. They test better in their normal testing groups. Breakfast will be provided up until 8:30 am.
This week is Teacher/Staff Appreciation, and it is a chance to celebrate them! Please let the most hard working people in Duval County know that they are appreciated and supported. You can show support in various ways from a phone call, email, or a note. We have assigned different them type days but those are only suggestions, you may show appreciation any way you feel.
Monday-- Send your teacher or staff member a coffee, soda, water, or juice! Let’s keep our teachers and staff hydrated as they make it through another great day!
Tuesday-Bring your teacher or a staff member a flower! This can be from your garden, the store, or handcrafted.
Wednesday-Bring in a special treat! A piece of fruit, something salty or sweet- just a little snack for your teacher to eat!
Thursday-Bring in a school supply! Let’s help teachers stock up on items they need- pencils, printer paper, notebook paper, dry-erase markers, glue sticks, and more.
Friday-Send in an item of your choice. Just a little something to let them know what a great year it has been.
Thank you for your continued support! We are excited to see our results as they come in. Let's make it another great week at Rutledge Pearson and let's keep moving in the right direction. See you on Monday!
K-2nd grade FAST PM3 is here! The one that counts the most is here! The majority of our students will start testing on Tuesday and go through Friday. A few students will start on Monday. We want all students to get a good night's rest and be ready to do their best work! We will start testing promptly at 9:00 am so please make sure they are on time so they can follow their normal routine and eat breakfast. Students who make their goals in both Reading and Math will participate in our Field Trip to the park for a cookout and games! We are excited for our students and know they will do their best. Both our students and teachers have worked exceptionally hard this year. We are proud of all of them.
To support our students testing this week, we will have three theme days:
Tuesday- wear green for Proficiency
Wednesday- wear yellow or orange to boost our mental alertness
Thursday- represent your college or school: We have big dreams at RHP.
Progress Reports go home on Wednesday. We are halfway to the finish line. Check your child's folder or backpack for their progress report. We only have 22 days left, so time is running out to get their grades up. Reach out to teachers if you have any questions.
Our last SAC and PTA meeting of the school year is here. We will meet on Tuesday, Apri, 28th at 5pm in the Media Center. Please come out and support us.
Looking forward to another great week! See you on Monday!
Mid-Week Update:
1st grade Field Trip is tomorrow (Thursday) to the St. Augustine Aquarium, and 2nd grade will go on Friday. The bus will leave at 9:30 am. We are asking all 1st graders to wear a red t-shirt and all 2nd graders to wear an orange t-shirt on the day of their field trip. They will have a great time.
We will have our Spring Celebration Dance on Friday afternoon. The cost is $5, and the money is due on Thursday. We will also have concessions for sale at the dance. Our 2nd graders will be back on time from the field trip to attend the dance if they choose.
