Notes from Principal Dra. Cardenas
Some thoughts for the starting school year
Song of the Week
For the rest of the year, Mrs. Dietlin-Anderson is doing 'Staff Picks'. Staff members can submit a song that they'd like to have played all week in morning announcements. Mrs. Dietlin-Anderson looks up interesting facts about the artist, and those fun facts are announced after the students enjoy listening and moving along to the song. This week's song was chosen by Mrs. Muñiz. Click below to listen!
From Principal, Dra. Cárdenas
Esteemed RHE Community,
This is the last full week of instruction our 3rd and 4th graders will receive before the STAAR test. Please see dates below. 3rd and 4th grade parents will be receiving a letter on Monday, please check your child's backpack for important details about testing. Up until the test, please stay in close communication with your child's teacher to best support your child throughout the process.
Our K-2nd graders finished their first week of tutoring successfully. Thank you parents for your support in having them stay three days out of the week for tutoring. The extra time on task makes a huge difference in their learning. We appreciate your commitment in helping us help your child be successful.
All PK - 2nd grade will begin their end-of-year assessments the first week of May. Parents, continue to have them log on to iReady to complete Reading and Math lessons at home. This platform can make a huge difference in accelerating and enriching your child's learning which will then show in their achievement at the end of the year.
At Your Service,
Dra. Betty A. Cárdenas
