A Note from Principal Reeves
I want to thank you for your participation in the parent-teacher conferences last month. We value our partnership with you and look forward to a continued relationship with you throughout the remainder of the school year.
There are so many ways that you can be engaged in your child’s education – Here are some ideas:
- Make it known to your child that you value education and it is a priority
- Talk with your child daily about their school day, homework assignments, and activities
- Find volunteer opportunities at our school – in the classroom, media center, field trip chaperone, etc.
- Visit our school’s website for school activities and events
Tomorrow at RCES
- Bus evacuations for all students will occur. We practice this will all students because every child has the opportunity to attend field trips where they may ride the school bus. Bus safety is important.
- Freed Photography will be here to take make-up pictures from 9-10 a.m. Please see the schedule below. If your child was not photographed during the first picture day, they will be photographed on Monday. If you were displeased with the initial photos, please send your child's teacher a note letting them know you'd like a retake.
Staying in Touch with MCPS
Winter weather is coming soon. MCPS offers numerous ways for parents to learn about school closures, delayed openings, and early dismissals due to inclement weather.
