A Note from Mrs. Phillips
Dear Charles Families:
How quickly our months pass by and our seasons change. Our month was filled with many fun activities. Here are just a few highlights:
- Over 160 Literacy bags were handed out during our Title I night; Adventure in a Bag.
- Northside Church of Christ donated 10 hams for our Thanksgiving baskets.
- We fed 15 Charles families with your donations for our food drive!
- An additional 8 boxes were donated and delivered from CIS and Life Spring Church.
- PTO showered us with love and encouragement from providing breakfast and lunch to the snack cart and Bath and Body Works lotions for National Education Week.
- Chartwell's supper initiative began and is supplying supper to every student.
- The Richmond Community Schools Board of School Trustees approved an update to the RCS Reopening Plan. This plan includes early release for the rest of the 2020-2021 school year. Click here to see the plan.
Reminder: Please make sure to send your child to school with 2 masks. We are finding more students arriving to school without a mask. We are trying to help them think about their mask as part of their dress code. A good reminder would be to keep your clean mask by your backpack each night. EVERYONE is doing a fantastic job following our mask policy. I am proud of them all!
If your student will be missing school, please always call 973-3441. During this pandemic time, we need to make sure we understand why your student it out. If he/she has a doctors note, please return with your child upon their return. Thank you for notifying us of any absences, it helps us keep our records up to date and accurate.
