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,
We concluded our MOY assessments this week. Expect to see the mCLASS reports in your child's backpack this Wednesday when you receive their progress report. The 3rd - 4th grade benchmark scores are also in already, those will also be communicated with you on Wednesday. We hosted a PK parent meeting where all of our PK students took a Chromebook home to log into the iStation learning platform at home. During the meeting, we also reviewed PK campus data, parents received their child's individual report and saw the areas that need continued practice at school and at home. On Friday, we had our choir concert where PK, Kinder and 3rd/4th Grade Choir performed merry holiday songs. Thank you Mrs. Dietlin-Anderson for leading our students for their performance.
On Saturday, we had our very first Annual Christmas Fun Run. The weather was nice, not hot nor rainy and not too cold. Thank you parents who made it out with their Bobcat and family. We enjoyed seeing our Bobcat families out on the trail having a good time. Thank you staff members for volunteering your time to manage the event. And a special thank you to Coach Guzmán and Coach Alvarado
This upcoming week, we continue with new instructional concepts while also taking multiple opportunities to celebrate the holiday season with our Bobcats. See Next Week's Happenings below to be in the know!
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! We'll see you back on Monday, bright and early at school before 8:00am.
At Your Service,
Dra. Betty A. Cárdenas
