Message from the principal...
Good Afternoon R-PEL Families,
Have a safe and restful holiday weekend!
As we close out the year, I know that many of you have questions related to next year. Our team is working on designing excellent learning opportunities for all of our students. I will communicate specific information related to Open House, teacher placements, start of school activities and grade level supply lists as soon as this information becomes available.
Please reach out should you have any questions or concerns! We are HERE for YOU!
Mr. Klimsza
Enrollment for fall DK & Kindergarten is OPEN NOW!

Student Learner Profile
Please take a moment to share with us a little about your child as a learner. Your
thoughts and insights will be helpful in our ongoing efforts to plan, prepare, and
build for 2021-2022, the best year yet! We do not accept teacher requests.

Masks on Busses
- Reinforce with kids that masks are still a requirement to be worn on the bus.
- Remind students to bring a mask with them when they go to the bus in the morning. Our drivers have only a finite amount to hand out for the occasional student who has forgotten one.
Thank you!!
Did your 4th grade student miss the Band's Petting Zoo?
