Week of March 27- March 31, 2017

School Supplies for the 2017-2018 school year are on sale now through School Tool Box! You can order your child’s school supplies at www.schooltoolbox.com between now and June 23rd to have it delivered to the school. Check the Flash for more information!  

Tuesday March 28^th and Wednesday March 29^th are BIG testing days at RCE- children in upper grades will be taking the STAAR test.  During these days, the office is requesting no visitors come to campus.  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 new field day is April 21^st.  Kindergarten will be rocking lime green shirts.  Here is the link to the shirt order form if you wish to order.  Shirts will be delivered the week of field day.  http://store.cccreationsusa.com/rummel-creek-elementary.html

As the weather heats up, we go back to warm weather clothes.  Please be sure to check the length of shorts and skirts; fingertips should not touch skin when arms are at the kids’ sides.  Spaghetti straps and backless tops are cute, but not really appropriate for school.  Also, be sure there is always a light jacket or sweater in the backpack. Even when it is warm outside, the classrooms can be chilly!

On Tuesday, April 11^th kindergarten will go to MMS to see their production of Beauty and the Beast.  Unfortunately, space does not allow us to bring parent chaperones along.  Look for permission forms to come home soon!
