RDES Update
GAME ON!
A Message from Mrs. Hyatt
Have you signed up for a parent / teacher conference? These conferences are extremely important for all of us to partner as a team to support your child's growth this year. We are grateful for your support.
We have quite a few jackets in lost and found. If your child is missing a hoodie, jacket or other garment, please encourage them to check lost and found.
Thursday is our annual Earthquake Drill. All students will practice safe procedures in case of an earthquake. Ask them when they get home Thursday about their practice.
Be sure to follow us on:
