RBS Principal’s Notes
March 30, 2018
Happy Easter and
Passover! I hope everyone has a
wonderful celebration with family and friends.
Tentative Last Day of
School: Wednesday, June 20th
IN THE NEWS:
Counselor’s Corner
We’re excited to announce
that we now have a Counselor’s Corner on our school’s website. In this site you are able to learn more about
the RBS Guidance Program as well as access a variety of resources. You can find it under Staff Directory > Specialists. I’ve included it HERE
as well.
Buses at the Back Circle
After the back circle is
closed for parent drop-off (at approximately 7:50 each morning),
school buses often use the circle to drop off students. If there is a bus
in front of you with its stop sign out, please do not pass it. This is a
safety concern as well as against the law.
Screenagers - Wednesday April 4 at 6 PM
In case you missed it or
want to bring your spouse or friend, there will be another viewing of
Screenagers. It is on Wednesday
April 4th at 6 PM at St Elizabeth’s in the Gym. The
McKelvie guidance team will be hosting this event.
REMINDERS:
Book Fair Volunteers Needed
The Scholastic Book Fair
is coming to Riddle Brook April 2nd – 5th. To
prepare for this event, the committee is looking for volunteers to help
transform the fair into a fun and inviting space for students and their
families. They are also looking for volunteers to work during the week
of the Book Fair. Please click HERE to sign

Family Fun Night
Tickets
Our
annual Family Fun Night is coming up on Friday, April 13th. For ticket information, please click HERE. *Some forms were sent home with students that
said March 22nd was the last day to purchase tickets. That was an error. April 6th is the last day to
purchase tickets.
Scholastic Book Fair
at RBS
Paws for Books. Come. Stay. Read a Great Tale! It's nearly time to fetch some great books at
the Spring Scholastic Book Fair! Children
will visit the Book Fair to create their own wish lists during the school day. Families
are invited to come back to shop from Monday, April 2 through
Thursday, April 5 between 2:00-7:00 PM in rooms 216-218.
Join us for a Meow-velous time!

School Safety
Update
On Thursday, April 19th
at 6:00 PM in our RBS library, Superintendent McGee and Mrs. McCarthy will
be sharing several updates regarding the safety and security of the Bedford
School District. They will explain our
District Emergency Operations Plan, including the Parent Emergency Plan
portion. They will discuss recent
improvements and answer questions. We
hope you can make it.
Gsuite Information
for Parents
Some of our parents have asked for an explanation of our Gsuite, the tools within Chrome our students now use for much of their schoolwork. Our technology teachers have developed this Gsuite Information for Parents.

RBS Yearbook

you miss the deadline to order the 2017-2108 Riddle Brook School Yearbook? Not to worry, you can purchase the yearbook
online until April 13. Visit www.schoolannual.com , select “Buy
Student’s Yearbook,” and enter the school information.
4th Grade Play
Save the Date! On April 17th the entire
fourth grade will present "Rats! The Story of the Pied Piper." Every boy and girl in fourth grade has a part
to perform in the colorful re-telling of this classic folktale. Rehearsal (all during school hours) begins
right after our February vacation, and will culminate in what promises to be a
fabulous presentation to parents and friends at 6:30 PM on Tuesday,
April 17th. You will not want
to miss this!
Food Drive
RBS is working with the Bedford Food Pantry to help collect food
items that are most needed by families.
Every other month we will be collecting 1 food item. For
the month of March, that item is CANNED FRUIT. If you are able, please bring in canned fruit
until Friday, March 30th. We
will have a box for donations in the office hallway outside of the
library. Thank you so much for
supporting this very worthy cause, which supports Bedford families.
