RBS Principal’s Notes
December 15, 2017
We had a great time this
afternoon at our annual Holiday All School Meeting! Staff members dressed in festive garb and led
a sing-a-long with the students! Thank
you to Mr. Bergquist (Anne Koellmer’s father) for leading us all on the
piano.
To all of our families who
are celebrating Hanukkah, I wish you a happy and joyous season with family and
friends!
IN THE NEWS:
Morning Drop Off
We’re starting to
experience some significant back up during morning drop off, which is typical
this time of year. Please keep the
following suggestions and reminders in mind.
It will help everyone out:
- Please arrive as close to 7:30 AM as possible in order to avoid
our busy time.
- Please have your child get out of the car at any part of the
sidewalk rather than only directly in front of the school entrance.
- Please do not bypass the drop off lane to park in visitor parking
and walk your child across the median, unless you arrive after Mr. Paul
shuts down the drop off lane (at 8:00 AM).
By doing this, you are holding up the people in the drop off lane
as they are waiting for you to cross in front of them. Parking and walking your child to the
office is reserved for those students who need assistance for one reason
or another.
- As always, please be kind and patient! J
