Notes from Principal Dra. Cardenas
Some thoughts for the starting school year
Every morning, announcements begin with the Song of the Week chosen by our Music Teacher, Mrs. Dietlin-Anderson. Each day, different facts about the singer are shared before beginning the pledges. Listen to the song with your child and ask him/her what they remember about the singer. If they don't remember, give them the task to remember one fact they hear the following day. Having daily conversations with your child about their school day can help nurture trust and social-emotional skills.
From Principal, Dra. Cárdenas
Esteemed RHE Community,
Last week, we celebrated the highest class attendance for the week with popcorn for the class. We'll continue that on a weekly basis to recognize the class with the highest attendance percentage. We also celebrated our students in the A & AB Honor Roll with Pizza and flavored water. We're proud of your dedication Bobcats!
In 3rd and 4th grade, our students will be taking their Math and Reading Language Arts CFAs this week. This is a practice assessment that prepares them for the upcoming Spring Benchmark and STAAR test. We know they have been working hard towards their goals and support their efforts as they continue to improve their skills. You got this Bobcats!
I hope everyone has a marvelous week!
At Your Service,
Dra. Betty A. Cárdenas
