Thoughts From Turpin
NO SCHOOL
Fall Parties
Things to remember:
-We ask that families spread out around the building and do not bunch up into small groups.
-Since we are outside, masks are not required for parents.
-Students may bring their costumes to school that day to change into, please make sure the parts of the costume they bring in, students are able to put on by themselves.
-For Costumes there should be no blood, no guts, no gore. Masks are okay as long as they are not scary.
-NO WEAPONS (Swords, sticks, sabors, guns etc.)
-Parents are Allowed for the Parade....Parents will not be able to come into the school and be a part of the party.
Classroom Parties:
-Parents unfortunately will not be allowed in the building for the fall parties. They will be allowed to attend the outside parade.
-Your student's classroom teacher will be contacting you about the fall party format and what that will look like and how you can sign-up to donate items. Be on the lookout!

Attention RE Dads!
***WatchD.O.G.S. is back!!***
WatchD.O.G.S. (Dads Of Great Students) are dads, stepdads, grandpas, uncles, or other father figures who want to volunteer to serve at least one half-day helping at the school. WatchDOGS provide an extra set of eyes, ears, and hands at the school, helping with arrival or dismissal, lunchroom supervision, and recess supervision. They also assist teachers in the classroom, usually with reading and/or math, so they can actively engage with not only their own student(s), but other students as well. You will check in at the office and be provided a schedule. You don't need to bring anything; just show up ready to have fun and be a positive role model! Please click this link and complete the quick form if you are interested!
***PTA isn't just for Moms!***
The PTA is calling for Dads to join! We all know how important fathers are to the academic and social well-being of children. By joining the PTA and showing your support for the school, it will help strengthen our school and increase parent involvement. Please click the link below to join!

Message From Mrs. Munsey
Hello RE Families!
It’s hard to believe we have completed a month and a half of school already! As stressors arise, along with the emotional and physical weight the new school year can add, I hope you are finding ways to show kindness to others as well as to yourselves. Oct-4-8 is Peace Week. This is the Kansas Anti-Bullying Week. Our theme this year is “Bully Free looks like me”. October is the month we talk about making healthy choices, as well as introducing anti-bullying topics. During the months of October, and November, my focus will be on teaching lessons around respect, empathy, inclusion, kindness, and compassion. Another way we would like to celebrate kindness is through encouraging and recognizing efforts that go above and beyond that of our every-day courtesies. I am sharing with you a kindness challenge that is sure to be fun for students and adults alike (these can be completed individually or together as a family), because when we fill someone else’s bucket, we fill ours tool!
A kindness bingo cards attached that contains a month’s worth of activities that demonstrate and inspire kindness and acceptance. Please complete as many activities as possible and please participate in our spirit days. Together we keep our school bully-free.
Oct. 25-29, we will be celebrating Red Ribbon Week. Red Ribbon Week is the nation’s oldest and largest drug prevention program reaching millions of Americans during the last week of October every year. By wearing red ribbons and participating in anti-drug events, young people pledge to live a drug-free life and pay tribute to DEA Special Agent Enriqué “Kiki” Camarena who lost his life in the line of duty. His death started the RED RIBBON WEEK movement. We will also celebrate Red Ribbon Week with spirit days which will be posted this week and next in the Falcon Flyer.

Carloop Care & Reminders
Key Reminders:
-Please do not drop your students off or have them walk and arrive before 8:30, unless they are eating breakfast. There is no morning supervision until 8:30 and it is a safety concern to have students unattended.
-If your student is eating breakfast you may drop them off in the front carloop closes to the cafeteria no matter their grade or age at 8:25.
-DO NOT PASS in the carloop line....this is a big one and a HUGE safety concern. Please know we are working with students to get out of the car quickly and efficiently, but please give us those few extra safety minutes instead of passing.
-Please do not walk up any pets on campus during pickup and drop off. We love all furry animals....BUT not all children or families feel safe around certain pets.
-Please make sure when dropping off or picking up that if students need to get out of the car and cross across the street, that all family members are using the designated crosswalk areas.
Tell Us about YOU..... OR Exactly what you DO!
Won't you help us out? WHAT you do is part of WHO you are and WHAT makes YOU different at work all day might just be what one of our Falcons wants to KNOW!
