Titan Families,

This week we have our lost and found in the vestibule area of our school. Many thanks to our PTA member, Ms. Beth Revere, for willing to showcase those items for our families to sort through. Please be sure to swing by and check it out before we head out for spring break. Whatever is not claimed will be donated.

We also get to celebrate our Licensed Specialist in School Pathology (LSSP), Ms. Alicia Wilson, this week! LSSPs usually cover a lot of areas with their evaluations and services. After all, the job of a LSSP is diverse, taking a range of student experiences into account. Typically, LSSPs do records reviews, interview both parents and teachers, and have direct observations of students. They do cognitive assessments of students and look at academic achievement. They also look at adaptive abilities and do behavioral assessments. Help us in celebrating Ms. Wilson this week!

Lastly, be sure to wear your Titan Tuesday and C2 Wednesday shirts this week so that Ms. Tina Stevens, PTA's yearbook representative, can take some pictures for our yearbook.

AND

Be sure to fill out the parent survey that was sent to you by the district. More information below. We only have 2% of our families who have responded. This is due March 19th, and we need you input to grow our understanding of how to serve our community. Thanks!

As always, stay in the know by reading the information enclosed here and in your Titan(s)'s teacher(s)'s newsletter. Should you need anything, please reach out. Let's make it a great week of building and showing PRIDE in all we do as we launch spring break!

Take care and be well,

Dr. Amy Sharp

Proud RPE Principal
