RSE Students Earn PJ Day
Checking your Child Out Early??
Early Checkout
Parents cannot pick up their child the last 15 minutes of the day. Leaving school early can be as detrimental to a child’s education as being tardy. Please limit your early checkout to necessary appointments such as doctor or dental visits. Your child will not be eligible for perfect attendance awards if he/she checks out early for reasons other than a medical appointment more than 3 times. Early-outs will also be evaluated when considering Out-of-District transfer requests and/or renewals.
Car Line & Tardy Bell - 7:40 AM
Visitor/Volunteer Information
Visitors/Volunteers are allowed on campus in limited numbers.
Visitors will follow our normal check-in process through Raptor.
Visitors will be limited at principal/campus discretion.
Specific campus details will come from campus administration.
By coming onto campus, you are acknowledging that you have self screened and you are free of COVID symptoms. No one with symptoms will be allowed into the building.
Each campus will be planning events for volunteers and parents to get involved in the school and those will be communicated by each campus.
Campus and district administration may restrict or close campuses or parts of campuses for visitors if there is an increase in COVID numbers in a classroom, grade level or campus.
Parents eating lunch with their children
Parents will not be able to eat lunch with their child at this time because there is not being enough seating available as students are being spread out as much as possible.

Special Education Parent Advisory Council
Calling all Dads and Father Figures!
Who are WatchDOGS? Fathers, grandfathers, step-fathers, uncles, and other father figures who volunteer to serve at least one day a year in a variety of school activities as assigned by the school principal or other administrator.
We are currently recruiting Dads to take on leadership roles for Rancho Sienna. If you have a few hours a month to connect with other Dads, organize volunteer schedules and send reminders for volunteer dates/time, we need you! This is a great way for our male role models to be involved on campus and have a great impact on your child and other students as well. If you would be interested in a leadership or co-leadership role, please respond here.
Once we secure our team leaders, we will be sharing a volunteer sign up schedule where you can select the day(s) that you would like to be on campus as a volunteer. To be ready for the day, I encourage you to purchase your official Watch D.O.G.S. t-shirt here. By purchasing here, we will be able to order shirts in bulk and save you the cost of shipping. We will also send your shirt home with your student, so you will be ready for your day on campus! We have extended orders through the end of October, so order now!
The document linked below has more info on the Watch D.O.G.S. organization.
