RBS
Principal’s Notes
January
17, 2020
I wanted to remind
families that there is no school on Monday in observance of Martin Luther King,
Jr. Day. We will see everyone on Tuesday
morning! Enjoy the long weekend—it looks
like a snowy one!
IN THE NEWS:
Report Cards
Report cards were
released on PowerSchool at 2:30 PM today.
As a reminder, we no longer print report cards. To access your
child's report card online, log into the PowerSchool Parent Portal and you will
see a Report Cards icon in the left-hand pane.
When you click on this icon your child's report card will appear on the
screen. You can scroll to see the entire
report card and choose to print it, if you'd like.
REMINDERS:
Kindergarten
and 1st Grade Registration (2020 – 2021)
Starting
Monday, February 3rd,
you may download and print out registration packets (HERE)
or stop by our school to pick one up. *Please
do not download the form until closer to February 3rd as there is
information that needs to be updated.
The packets need to be returned to the school by Thursday, March 5th.
A $525 deposit is required with the K+ registration (checks made out
to Bedford School District).
- A child must attain his/her 5th birthday
on or before September 30, 2020 to be eligible for kindergarten.
- A child must attain his/her 6th birthday
on or before September 30, 2020 to be eligible for first grade.
Kindergarten
students who are currently enrolled at RBS (or anywhere in the district) do not
need to register for 1st grade.
Spirit
Days
I wanted
to give parents a heads up about our upcoming Spirit Days. In past years,
we had Spirit Week the week before both February and April Vacations.
Last year, our Principal’s Advisory Group decided to do it a little differently
by having a Spirit Day 1 day a week for 5 weeks. This schedule was a hit
last year, so we’re continuing with it this year.
Here is
our upcoming January/February Schedule:
Friday,
Jan. 24 – Favorite Holiday
Friday,
Jan. 31 – Favorite Character (can be book, tv, movie, comic, etc.)
Friday,
Feb. 7 – Retro Day (Dress from your favorite decade.)
Friday,
Feb. 14 – Valentine’s Day
Friday,
Feb. 21 – RBS Spirit Day
Bakers (or Buyers) Needed for our Lady’s Choice Dance
Our
annual Girl’s Choice Dance is scheduled for Friday, February 7th, and we’re looking for
parents who are willing to donate baked goods for the event. Students
were sent home with THIS INFORMATION this week, but I wanted to
include it here as well. Ticket information will be going home on
Friday, January 24th.
RBS Violin Lessons (formerly known as Strings
Club)
If your child is interested in participating in Violin Lessons
at RBS this winter/spring (January 27-May 11), please take a look at THIS FLYER for more
information. The registration deadline is January 21st.
Food
Pantry
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 January, that item is SINGLE SERVE JUICE. If you are able, please
bring in single serve juice until Friday, January 24th. 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.
