Weekly RAM Newsletter
A Brief Note from Dr. Burke
Dear Ram families,
I am happy to report that we had a wonderful start to the school year. Thank you for sending us such amazing kids! I made it into nearly every classroom on campus this week and the kids were engaged and happy to be back in school. Thanks to those of you who have emailed with compliments about our teachers. We have worked really hard to hire, develop and retain the best.
Now that we are headed into our first full week of school and people are figuring out the drop off and pick up routine, I would like to ask that you adhere to all traffic and public safety regulations on our school property and in the surrounding neighborhood. Please be respectful of our neighbors' property and obey all traffic laws, so that we can help keep our students safe at and around our school.
I will close with a reminder that we are still in need of a parent representative for our School Site Council.
I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow and remember it's a 3/5/1 day!
Sincerely,
Dr. Burke
