The Principal's Office
Dear RNE Families,
This week has been busy at RNE! Our 3rd and 5th grade students completed the IOWA assessment earlier this week. They will finish up Monday with science and social studies sessions.
As I visited classrooms this week it was exciting to see the growth students are making in all areas. Many classrooms are completing their first math unit. Students are talking about math and supporting one another as they demonstrate their new learning.
Our students are also becoming writers! Many classes are preparing for their celebrations as students have completed their narrative writing units. I have enjoyed talking with our writers about their small moments. Teachers are reporting that students are writing more than they did last year! They are also having to force students to stop writing! What a wonderful problem! I am sure you will have an opportunity to review your child's writing during the school year.
I hope to see many of you at the Roswell High School Youth Night event tomorrow evening!
Best,
Maureen

Book Character Pumpkin Decorating Contest
Students are invited to participate in our 4th annual book character pumpkin decorating contest. They can choose any character from their favorite book. Plastic or real pumpkins may be used. If you do use a real pumpkin please do not carve or poke any holes in it. They will rot and may not make it 😥.
Pumpkins may be dropped off on Tuesday, October 11 or Wednesday, October 12 in the media center.
Judging will take place on Tuesday, October 18 and the winner will be announced on Wednesday, October 19. There will be two winners from each grade. The winners will each receive a gift certificate to spend at the book fair the following week. All pumpkins must be picked up by 9am on Thursday October 20th.
Your students may pick up an entry form with all the rules in the media center or find the information on our website.
