Tuesday and Wednesday are
BIG testing days at RCE- children in upper grades will be taking the STARR
test. During these days, the office is
requesting no visitors. Please do not
deliver lunch/eat with your child those days.
If you are scheduled to volunteer in your child’s classroom, you do not
need to come! Our schedule is a little
different. On both days, we will eat at

to 12:30.
Our new field day is
April 15…details to come!
During this changeable
“spring” weather, don’t forget to check the forecast before sending your child
to school. Or, you could just be sure there is always a light jacket or sweater
in their backpack. Even when it is warm outside, the classrooms can be chilly!
