Notes from Principal Dra. Cardenas
Some thoughts for the starting school year
From Mrs. Dietlin-Anderson, Music Teacher:
The month of March is called March's Reading Month. March’s reading month is a celebration that encourages reading at all ages! Reading is a key feature of learning new words, new ideas and imagination! Down by the music room you will see posters displaying musical books. This month we will be listening to songs that have become books. The month of March is called March's Reading Month. March’s reading month is a celebration that encourages reading at all ages!

From Principal, Dra. Cárdenas
Esteemed RHE Community,
I hope everyone has an enjoyable four days together at home. Make the best out of the time you spend with loved ones!
At school this past week, we finished our TELPAS testing for our bilingual students this year. Now ahead we have GT testing, STAAR testing, and end-of-year assessments. All of these assessments will be completed before the school year ends. See the dates in 'Upcoming Events' for assessment timelines and other events you don't want to miss!
This week, we will add tutoring for select students in Kinder - 2nd. These 12 days of tutoring are being offered to students who have demonstrated dedication with attendance and class participation. The students invited have also demonstrated a need for extra time on task that will be valuable to their continued progress on grade level skills. We have an unwavering dedication to our students' progress and academic achievement. Thank you parents for your permission to help your child afterschool!
At Your Service,
Dra. Betty A. Cárdenas
