RCES Kids Care for April
For the month of April, we will be collecting for Aperion Care in Wilmington. Aperion Care provides personalized post-hospital care and rehabilitation. The patients love playing games and receiving prizes. We are collecting small prizes for them this month (crossword puzzle books, stuffed animals, drawing supplies, fuzzy socks, etc.).
State Testing
Our students take federally required assessments every spring. These assessments help us understand how our students are growing academically, compared to their peers across the state. The state uses this information to provide more support and resources to the schools in the greatest need. This year, the English language arts and math assessment for grades 3-8 is called the Illinois Assessment of Readiness. Please contact me with any questions regarding these assessments.
Learning at RCES is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!

Recess
Recess is an important part of our school day at RCES. During this time the students get fresh air, sunshine, and time to run and play with friends. We will be going outside as long as the "feels like" temperature is between 25-90 degrees and not raining/snowing.
Please make sure your child is dressed for unpredictable weather.
All Day Every Day at RCES
From The Office:
When your child is absent, it is very important to call the office and provide the reason for the absence before 9:00 AM. If a student is not called in, the absence will be marked unexcused. After 7 absences students will be marked as unexcused unless a medical note is provided to the office for each day missed. Our fax number is 815-458-4039.
We understand that plans occasionally change for families throughout the day. If you need to change your child’s end of day routine, please notify the office NO LATER than 1:30.
