A Word from Your Friendly Neighborhood Principal. . .
Parents,
Today was AWESOME! Our HOUSE reveal assembly was a blast and all of our BEARS now are part of one of our 6 Houses. Make sure to ask them where they landed! T-Shirts will be available for sale in the coming weeks! We will also be starting a school store where students can buy other small HOUSE color items. (pencils, erasers, etc)
Our Fall fundraiser is in full swing! Please see the flyer below from the PTO and consider joining us in our fundraising efforts! Also mark your calendars for the PTO Color Fun Run event on 10/7 from 5-6:30. This is a time change due to Homecoming game at Woodgrove the same night.
Sincerely,
Andrew Davis - Principal

RHES Welcomes Author Jonathan Miller (9/21)
Jonathan Miller, author and illustrator of The Adventures of Sammy the Wonder Dachshund, will be visiting our school on September 21st. He will be sharing his books with the students and talking about the writing process and how he illustrates books. If you are interested in ordering a personalized signed copy of any of his books, information was sent home with your child(ren) last week. Please look for it and contact Mrs. Wieman if you have not received it.

Lunch: 1st meal: $3.05 2nd meal: $4.10 Adult meal: $4.10
Cafe Account - Would you like to set spending limits for your child?
Within the TITAN Family Portal, once students are linked to the parent's account there will be three dots in the upper right corner of the student's picture. There they can select EDIT SPENDING LIMIT.
Parents can choose to limit the number of a la carte items (QUANTITY) or the dollar value (AMOUNT) that the student is able to spend. The parent can create a spending limit per serving session as well.
Parents do not have the ability to prohibit purchases (no ice cream, no breakfast, etc.) in the system but they can contact our cafe manager (ebaumann@lcps.org) directly and she can enter that information directly into TITAN which in real time will show on the point of sale immediately.
This Week's Life Lesson with Mr. Davis - We Are Family
Would you like a free tutor for your child? YES FREE!!
LCPS is partnering with Tutor.com to provide all LCPS students grades kindergarten through 12th with access to free online tutoring. Tutor.com, which is a service of the Princeton Review, is personalized to meet the needs of your students. Tutor.com’s professional tutors are available 24 hours a day and can provide tutoring support in a wide variety of subjects.
Tutor.com can be accessed through your student's Schoology account. Your student will login to his/her Schoology account, navigate to a course, and look for the Tutor.com link on the left menu. Once the service is accessed, the student will complete a brief form in which he/she will select language preference, topic, subject and grade level. Once the form is complete, the student will be connected with a tutor. Younger students may need an adult’s assistance with completing the tutor request form. Please visit https://www.lcps.org/tutor for details on how to benefit from this resource!
