Sunday, December 29

Love this! Pretty fitting these days! I definitely appreciate how all of you 'roll with it.'

I hope you all had a very restful week! You definitely need to refill your cups before embarking on these few weeks before the Winter Break. These next weeks will be busy but great, no doubt! 

I basically copied the family blog to share with you. I think there is a lot of information that you may want to have to share with parents and answer questions. 

Book Fair: November 30-December 4

The book fair is this week! Check out the site and preview what is available. You can make purchases on line or the students can purchase in person. Check out the videos included in Timberwolf TV!

SAVE THE DATE! RCSD Caroling Night will be December 17th at 7PM. Get cozy with your family and tune in to our holiday sing-along on the RCSD Music Youtube channel. We'll teach you the songs ahead of time in the Community Song portion of your December lessons.

For Parents~ Online Absence Reporting:

Parents can use this to report an absence. This can also be used if they say someone in their family tested positive and they don't know what to do. Have them fill out this form and one of the district nurses will be in contact to tell them exactly what to do. 

We now have online absence reporting available on the RCSD home page. It is available under Parent Resources. (See image below) This link should take you directly to the form: Online Absence Reporting

Sees Candy Fundraiser:

Many of you have taken advantage of our Sees candy fundraiser. This is just a reminder in case you wanted to buy some candy for family or friends. Sees candy is always a holiday favorite!

Hand Sanitizer Donations: 

Our classrooms would greatly appreciate hand sanitizer donations! We all know it is tough to find right now, but if you happen to come across some, we would be so thankful. In order to use the hand sanitizer in our classrooms, it must follow these guidelines:

• Gel hand sanitizer only, no liquid sanitizer.
• Minimum alcohol content should be 60%, preferred is 70-75%
• Sanitizer should not contain methanol (wood alcohol) - serious health implications, especially for children.  FDA has a "do-not-use" list.
• Larger sizes 16.9 oz, 33 oz, or gallon sized should have pumps for ease of use.  Smaller sizes may not be as easy to use but can still be donated.
• Please avoid too many additives (scents, moisturizers, etc) to avoid allergic reactions.
• Please have a single point of contact for hand sanitizer donations in order to ensure it meets the standards before it is distributed to the classrooms.

Reminder~ Staff Meeting: Wednesday, December 2nd at 2:30pm. 

Have a great week!
