A MESSAGE FROM MRS GULRUD
Hello Ruschies:
As 2020 wraps up and we celebrate gratitude demonstrated by our students, I am reminded of all the things of which I am grateful. Parents, thank you for supporting your children and reinforcing learning and respect at home as well as at school. Thank you for continuing to partner with us through this pandemic. We continue to move forward to provide our students with their learning needs. Thank you to the Rusch Family Pride Organization for support of school activities, fundraising with the apparel sale, and donating your time and energy to assist our school community. Thank you to our students for reading and working so hard. We are all very excited to see our learners blossom in the year ahead. Thank you to our staff members who work diligently to help our students improve and fill in when needed to support their co-workers. Thank you to all our substitute teachers for providing stability so we are able to keep the classrooms running. Wishing everyone happiness this holiday season!
Your Principal, Mrs Gulrud
A MESSAGE FROM MRS MANN
Dear Ruschies,
Wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday season. Please remember if your child is going to be out of school for any reason please contact the office and fill out an advanced absence form. If you are having any issues meeting your family’s needs please reach out to me and I will try to help you find resources.
Also, Winter has arrived! Please make sure your child is prepared for outdoor recess and if you need any assistance with winter gear for your child let me know.
Love,
