Weekly Update

Good morning RCPS families,

We hope you had a wonderful weekend! Looks like patio season is still on with this beautiful weather. Students are starting to leave their clothing outside. Please check the lost and found and we will remind students. 

Student safety: A reminder that supervision doesn’t start until 8:25am in the mornings and students should not be dropped off earlier for their safety as they are unsupervised. Please do not drop students off or pick up in the staff parking lot for safety as cars are entering and exiting. Please use the front kiss and ride area for pick up and drop off.

Boundary review info- The attached notice advises that the Final Recommendation Report is released and will be presented to the Finance & Facilities Committee on Sep. 16th.

Due to the meeting scheduled, we will reschedule our first school council meeting that also includes elections for positions. Our first school council meeting is Thurs. Sept 18 at 6:00-7:30pm in the library. We welcome all parents to our school council meetings and the goal is to help support the school and contribute to the education of our students.

 Pizza volunteers needed- We are starting to get our food programs organized and need parent volunteers to assist with pizza on Tuesday from 12:30-1:15 ish. It arrives around 12:30 and then needs to be sorted into classes. Students in primary get pizza delivered to the class and in junior they come down to get their pizza for the class. Then intermediate gets delivered around 1pm and it needs to be sorted for them and they pick up. We also do pizza sales. If you are able to assist and have a vulnerable sector screening, please contact Bianca Chambers biancawarkus@gmail.com. If you require a vulnerable sector screening to contact Mrs. Aziz.
