December Character Value
Joy is our character value for December. This is described as finding a way to be happy, even when things don't go your way. When I'm in the classrooms, we talk about finding the joy in everyday things, ranging from cuddling with their pet to getting to take a special vacation. We talk about looking for joy in the small moments that happen each day . Please take a minute and listen to the joy your child finds in the small moments of their day. As always, I thank you for supporting what we do in class.
Festive Dress-Up Days
REQUIRED 5th Grade Science Fair
We are very excited to announce the First Annual Science Fair at Rancho Sienna Elementary! Parents, please encourage your child and monitor his/her progress along the way. Your support is key to a successful project. Each 5th grade student will be required to complete a Science Fair Project for the Science Fair and present it to their class/judges. The Top Ten 5th grade projects will move on to the Austin Regional Science Fair on February 24, 2023. The packet is linked here.
Complete Science Fair Projects (display board, written report and presentation) are due to school on Friday, January 6, 2023.
OPTIONAL PreK-4th Grade Science Fair
PreK-4th grade projects will be due on campus between January 9-11, 2023.
Illness and School Attendance
And this important message from our registrar and nurse!
Illness (All Grade Levels)
A child should not be sent to school if he/she is ill. A sick child needs rest in order to recover as quickly as possible. It is very important not to expose other children to any more illness than we can possibly avoid. When your child is ill, please contact the school to let us know he or she will not be attending that day using the link below. State rules require schools to exclude students with certain illnesses from school for certain periods of time. If a child has a fever over 100 degrees, he or she must stay out of school until fever-free for 24 hours without use of fever-reducing medications. Students with diarrhea or vomiting illnesses must stay home until they are diarrhea or vomiting free without use of suppressing medications for 24 hours.
*To report an illness or absence, please visit the RSE ATTENDANCE WEBSITE.
