THE RPI PULSE
Your source for all things RPI! February 7, 2021
A quick note from the principal's desk...
Good Afternoon RPI Families,
With the lower temperatures, please remember to send your kids to school with warm clothes as we will be going outside for recess whenever possible.
As a reminder, we have a half day this Friday and no school on Monday (February 15). My family and I are getting away for the weekend so there will not be a newsletter on Sunday or Monday. Any pertinent information will be sent in a separate email or sent out on Tuesday, February 16.
Please reach out should you have any questions!
Have a great week everyone! Go Rockets!
Scott Panozzo

The P2 Post
This weeks character strength is: LOVE, more specifically that you value close relationships with others and being close to people. In what we all hope is the tail end of this pandemic, relationships are so vitally important and the feeling of love is something we can likely agree upon has gotten us through many difficult times.
Great Quote:
Some people make your laugh a little louder, your smile a little brighter, and your life a little better.
I hope you take some time to use the Family Resources this week. Information below:

Picture Retake Notes:
- Feb. 17 10am-1pm
- Virtual students may come at anytime during that time or call Radium for a studio appointment
- Normally Radium would ask for the picture packages back but with retakes so late this year, parents may have used the originals and for these orders they will do a 50% discount without the need to return the original order (this will be included on the order forms)
