Fall Festival This Friday!
Come join us at RME on October 25th from 5:00-8:00 p.m. for our annual Fall Festival. This event will raise money towards materials needed for our classrooms and school safety.
There will be booths with activities. Each booth is run by a grade/class and all the tickets collected during the event are calculated into funds for each grade/class to buy needed materials.
There will be a bounce house, food, drinks, games, raffles, prizes, and music provided by Mr. C himself!
Costumes are welcome.
Ticket pre-sale will be held before and after school, at the front entrance. We are offering this to avoid long lines the day of the event but tickets will also be sold at the door.

Every Day Matters!
Students with regular school attendance are more likely to succeed. Every day matters for every child. Everyone can help make this happen – schools, families and community members.
Attendance matters for students at all grade levels. Students who attend school regularly are more likely to read at grade level, and to build a strong foundation as they move from preschool and kindergarten to high school.
On the other hand, students who are chronically absent are at risk of falling behind. “Chronically absent” means a student is missing 10% of the school year. It doesn’t matter whether the absences are excused or unexcused. Each day represents lost time.
What does 10% look like? If your school district uses a five-day week, 18 days is considered chronically absent. If your district uses a four-day week, 14 days is considered chronically absent.
School districts are now tracking absences more closely. This is not to increase disciplinary actions – it is to identify students who may need increased support getting to school. Every day matters for every child.
