Happy New Year to all our RES Staff and Parent Community! We sincerely hope your family spent some joyful time together this holiday season.
Here are a few EXCITING things on our radar this month!
-Welcoming NEW PRINCIPAL, Melissa Labrosciano, to RES! If you missed the announcement before the break, read all about it here! Redding BOE Press Release
-Virtual Assembly by the Taproot Theater Company. The RES PTA Inclusion Team has been working hard to bring this amazing presentation to our students later this month! Stay Tuned!
-Parent Yappy Hour! Grab a hot tea (or something stronger) and join us to yap for an hour! Get to know other parents in these informal, virtual grade level meet and greets. Led by parents, with no formal agenda, just fun. Dates to come!
Although the coming weeks may look challenging, our school community is STRONG! From our Amazing Administrators to our Super Staff, we support our school and their efforts to keep our children healthy. We encourage families to do their part and follow the guidelines as we make our way through this TOGETHER! Your RES PTA is here to support families, so please reach out if we can assist with anything!
