Eagle Parent Monday Memo
#WeROne #ChooseGarlandISD
Week of 9/21/20 (Volume 6)
Week 6 of the 2020-21 school year is in the books! I have to say that in some ways it feels like it's been 6 weeks and in other ways it feels like a mucher shorter time. One thing is for sure, we are all learning to be resilient, take responsibility for our own progress or regress, stay organized, and encourage each other and ourselves. As Eagles, we are learning a different way to fly and on the other side of this difficult 2020, nothing will be able to stop us or our kids, we will be better teachers and learners. #BetterTogether #GrowingLeaders
For all things Rowlett, please see our website or follow us on Twitter (@RHS_Eagles), Instagram (RHS_Eagles2), or Facebook.
As always, please contact your child's teacher, counselor, our office, your assistant principal or myself if you have any questions. Have a great week!
Eagle Parent Monday Memo - week of 9/21/20.
