Marquee
Remember you can put a birthday wish on the marquee for your child! Stop by the office if you are interested!
Morning Car Line
Please follow the procedures below for morning drop off in the car line. We are all trying our best to be efficient, but safety is our first priority.
Please drive carefully and slowly.
Stay in line, do not cut around the car line on Crispin Hall.
For safety and because the line of cars moves fairly quickly, we do not allow parents who are parking in the lot to cut around the car line. Please wait in the car line to enter the lot in the morning, regardless of if you are parking or dropping off at the curb.
Pull all the way up.
Make sure you fill in all the spaces at the curb. Pull all the way up to fill in the front two unloading spaces. This allows as many students as possible to unload at the same time, keeping the morning line moving.
Unload quickly.
Make sure your child is ready to exit the vehicle as soon as you reach your curb spot. Gather backpacks, lunch boxes and kisses while you are waiting your turn. If your child is not able to unload independently, please park in the lot and assist your child all the way across the crosswalk.
We are counting on you to model our motto for kindness through our morning procedures. Kindness and patience in the car line is so appreciated! Remember those cars are your neighbors and your children's friends.
Blue Santa Collection at RES
A blue flyer will be coming home with your child very soon and it is attached below! We are going to "Deck the Halls" and collect non-perishable food items and line the hallways. We are also collecting toys for infants-14 year old boys and girls and wrapping paper. This will be taking place next week, December 3rd-7th. All items will be given to Blue Santa.
Thank you for helping our community by donating here at Riojas!

Changes In Going Home
If you are changing the way your child goes home, you must communicate that to the front office staff by stopping by the office or calling the office. Please do not send an email. Our teachers are busy teaching and helping students and often do not check their email throughout the day. The office communicates changes to our staff close to the end of the school day, but all changes must be reported to the office before 1pm. This helps us ensure a safe dismissal for all students.
