Spirit Day - Nov. 23rd
We are having an extra special RH Spirit Day on Wednesday, Nov. 23rd. Students will be making forts in their classrooms. Students can bring in materials to help them with their fort building - sheets, blankets, towels, etc.
We will also have a whole school meeting on Nov. 23rd. At this meeting, some students will get to throw pies at the administrators, school counselors, and school nurse because the PTO exceeded the Walkathon fundraising goal! These students were chosen randomly (anyone who participated in the Walkathon) and will be announced at the assembly.
Classes who had highest participation per grade level will also have popsicle parties on Nov 23rd (Rynearson, Whalen/Wyszkowski, Terhune/Bergstrom, Mecanko, Drew)
Students are also encouraged to wear RH spirit wear for our special day on Nov. 23rd.
We are looking forward to a fun day of creativity, team-building, and RH pride!
Conferences
All families should have received a conference time/date confirmation from the classroom teacher. Conferences were scheduled so that siblings were back-to-back. If this is not the case or if you have any concerns with your date/time, please reach out to your child’s teacher(s) by the end of this school week. Support/Stretch, ESL, Speech, and Special Education teachers will be joining the classroom teacher for conferences.
Dismissal
We continue to receive calls with dismissal changes in the late afternoon. We request that all dismissal changes be reported in the morning in order to plan an orderly dismissal. Thank you for your support and cooperation with this procedure.
Blood Drive
We will be having a community Blood Drive at Robert Hunter School on Dec. 20th. If you are interested in participating, you can sign up using the following link:
