DISTRICT CALENDAR

Dear Parents & Students,

The PE Department has a new pilot program called Students Teach Students. Sometimes kids learn better from other kids. Once a month we will hold a free clinic for any 2nd - 5th grade student that would like extra help on a skill we have recently gone over in PE. This month we will be working on Tennis skills. Coach Jackson & I have selected students as coaches based on their above-average tennis skills. They will be helping 2nd - 5th grade students that want a little more personal instruction. Of course, we will be there as well. If you are interested, please help us keep track of how many students to expect by clicking on the link below and filling out the form. Unfortunately, we will have to cap the number of students to 20. Whoever signs up first will get a confirmation from me.

The River Ridge PTA Food Allergy Awareness Committee supports the FARE Teal Pumpkin project with the goal to create a safer Halloween for all by:

1. Provide non-food treats for trick-or-treaters such as glow sticks or small toys.
2. Place a teal pumpkin in front of your home to indicate that you have non-food treats available
3. Spread the word! Share the Teal Pumpkin Project with your friends and family

Help make Halloween safe and fun for all kids!

In an effort to create educational awareness about the November ballot, Leander ISD is hosting a series of conversations. Superintendent Bruce Gearing, Ed.D., will lead a discussion about Propositions A & B over the next several weeks ahead of the November 8 election.

Due to sizable recent increases in property appraisals across our region, the district’s property values have reached a point that has triggered two elections: an Attendance Credit Election (ACE) and a Voter-Approval Tax Rate Election (VATRE).

We encourage the community at-large to learn more about these ballot issues during the following opportunities:

• Wednesday, Oct. 19 – 6:30 pm, Facebook LIVE

• Friday, Oct. 21 – 12 pm at LISD LEO Conference Center

• Wednesday, Oct. 26 – 6:30 pm, virtual Zoom webinar (link coming soon)

Please use this link Let’s Learn with Bruce: Elections to let us know you’re attending. While sign-up is not required, it helps us plan for how many participants to expect.

We have provided a number of Prop A & B resources as well as voting information.

Would you like to check out our live announcements brought to us by the Rattler News Crew? Feel free to join us Monday-Friday 7:30 - 7:40 each day.
