REMINDER - Distance Learning Materials
Access to our main entrance area, where the materials are located will be until 3pm for pick-up on Monday & Tuesday, and until 10am on Wednesday.
Thank you so much.
From Principal Hammond
As we continue to hear from the local and national health professionals, socially distanced interactions, mask wearing and hand washing remain top priorities as we look to slow the spread of the Coronavirus.
As we enter the holiday season, we hope to be able to enjoy our family but maintain safety protocols. If you and your family choose to travel or are with large groups for Thanksgiving, please be reminded of the recommendation to quarantine for 14 days upon your return from these events.
From all of us at RES, we wish you and your family a safe and healthy Thanksgiving.
In partnership,
Natalie Hammond

Zoom Transition Updates
Technology Expectations & Guidelines
Identify a place in your home for distance learning work. It can be distracting if students are logging in while riding in a car, at the grocery store or in another location.
The learning space should be free of distractions (siblings, toys, pets, etc.).
Students must keep their screen name as their first and last name to be admitted into the live Zoom session. Click here for more information.
Students remain on MUTE, unless they are participating in a lesson.
Student cameras must remain ON during the duration of the live stream - this will provide an opportunity for the teacher to engage the child in the learning experience from home. If a student’s video camera is turned off during a live stream, we will consider them to be absent from the session.
Zoom links must not be shared with others outside of the classroom.

Important Reminders
Arrival & Dismissal
Parents/Guardians who are dropping off students in the morning, or picking up students in the afternoon are asked to remain in their vehicles during this process. We will have staff on hand ready to support during these transition times. If you are dropping off your child in the morning please be sure their mask is on and backpack is ready BEFORE you pull up to the drop off location, so that we can quickly and safely transition kids out of vehicles and into the building.
RES Visitors
Due to the current health and safety precautions in place, we are limiting visitors in our building to essential business only. If you need to come to the school to pick up your child, please be sure you have a government issued ID on you for entry each and every time. Even if we recognize you, we will ask for your ID. This is our policy.
Traffic Safety
Please be reminded to follow all traffic rules while driving in our parking lots and around RES, including stopping at stop signs and adhering to the speed limit. Cars may not travel into the bus loop during arrival and dismissal.School Dismissal Manager
If there are changes to your child's dismissal plans, remember to log in to School Dismissal Manager to update with the new plans. A reminder that 'bus' is the default for all students. Distribution of a student pick up number tag, or the data from the summer survey does not automatically inform us that your child is a pick up.
