Richmond Drive Update
October 7, 2018
Thankful
Safety is another area I am thankful for this year.
Our morning drop off has proven to be a smooth process. We have had fewer and fewer tardies each day. Just remember students need to be in their classroom by 7:45am (not entering the building) to be counted on time. Also, the back door closes at 7:40am each day to assure the staff and safety patrol make it to class on time. If you arrive in the back at 7:40 or after, you child will need to walk around to the front door to enter the building.
If you need to pick your child up from school early due to an appointment, please remember that 2:00pm is the latest time we dismiss. Also, if you pick a student up before 11:30am it will count as an absence from school according to South Carolina attendance policy.
If your child is going home a different way than usual, please be sure to write a note to the teacher. We want to assure all children are getting home safely and in the correct manner.
Parent / Family Conferences
I appreciate each of you taking time to meet with teachers. At the elementary level, we want to you understand the expectations of each grade as well as know how to help your child at home. As teacher contact you for a conference, please select a time to meet. We all want to work as a team to help every child grow as a learner and inspire those around them. A shout out of thanks to those of you who have already met with teachers.
Our Richmond Drive Community is awesome!!
I am so thankful to have both families and community partners. This year we have had volunteers from all around Rock Hill: individuals, businesses, Winthrop athletes, community organizations, church groups, and others to come to Richmond Drive to lend a helping hand, work with children, donate items, and money. Thank to everyone from the bottom of our hearts. We are very blessed!
