Important Information
Important things to Remember for Testing Month
- Please make sure you child has a good breakfast on the dates they are testing. We want their minds awake and able to think!
- A good nights sleep is also good for the body and brain. Make sure your child is getting plenty of sleep this month so they can do their best on testing.
- Please remind your child that we want them to do their best but it is also just a test. We want them to show us what they know. We know your children are much more than just a test score and we want to make sure our students know that as well!

Rupert Elementary Resource Manual
Rupert Elementary Resource Manual
Our counselor has been hard at work in creating a resource manual for parents. See the attachment below. This is NOT a comprehensive list of all available resources but it will be helpful to have all of these resources in one place. If you have any questions or need additional information please call the school counselor, Courtney White, at 208-436-9707 or visit https://211-idaho.communityos.org/ or call 2-1-1.
Counselors Note
For April, I want to share a fantastic video that addresses how we, as parents, can make a positive impact on our children’s mental health. In three short minutes, this video will address how to communicate about mental health, seek help when necessary, and instill positive coping and behavioral habits.
If you have any questions regarding anything presented in the video, would like to discuss your child’s mental health, or would like additional information on mental health training for parents, please do not hesitate to reach out. I would love to hear from you!
If you or your child is experiencing a mental health emergency, please call 911, text 988, or call the Crisis Center of South Central Idaho at 208-772-7825.
