River Place Elementary Newsletter
Bouncing Back -- September 4, 2020
Newsletter, Part 2--Important Information ONLY for those meeting the criteria to return to school on Tuesday.
WHICH STUDENTS ARE RETURNING ON SEPTEMBER 8, 2020???
ONLY kindergarten and first grade students who chose in-person will begin school on September 8, 2020.
A FEW 2nd-5th grade students who selected IN-PERSON are also phasing in and joining us on September 8th if they meet certain criteria. If this applies to your student, someone from RPE would have already been in contact with you this past week.
See the detailed explanation below:
If you chose in person school for your child AND your child is in grades 2-5 AND your child is either (1) a child who receives special education services and currently has an IEP, (2) a child who has previously been identified as having no internet access or (3) a child of an employee of LISD, your child is eligible to return to school on September 8. Note that I said "eligible". A staff member will be reaching out to you to determine if you want your child to return on September 8 or if you want to wait until the rest of the grade level starts. If you know you fit in this category and you want to reach out to your child's special education teacher to let her know your plans, feel free to do so.
PLEASE NOTE that this applies to Special Education, and NOT students served by 504 plans.
All other students will return based on the phase. You may see the chart above.
Nurse -- Medications
If you need to drop off medications for your student, you will need to make an appointment with Nurse Lindsay. You may email her at lindsay.kreienheder@leanderisd.org.

Safety Updates
We've created a reference document to clarify processes and procedures at RPE. This is a lengthy document, but it covers a lot of the questions many of our parents have regarding a safe return to school. Click HERE to access our RPE School Community Safety Protocols.
Finally, parents MUST complete a screener for their child assessing COVID-19 symptoms DAILY BEFORE they come to campus.
Parents will be REQUIRED to submit the completed form and submit it before coming to campus or boarding the bus.
Link to STUDENT SCREENER to be completed DAILY.

NEW to River Place School Tours (Grades 2-5)
If your 2nd-5th grade child is new to River Place and would like a physical tour of the school before their first day of in-person learning, please contact Mrs. Sneed at sherri.sneed@leanderisd.org to schedule a time. Please note, parents are currently not allowed in the building, so only students will be able to take the tour with Mrs. Sneed. We look forward to meeting all of our new Titans!
