RBS Principal’s Notes
January 3, 2020

Welcome back, and Happy 2020!  I hope everyone had a great break and was able to spend some much-deserved downtime with family and friends!  It always seems to me that the school year flies by after the New Year.

IN THE NEWS:
Morning Drop Off
As a reminder, children should not be walking alone from Visitor Parking into the building.  As you can imagine, traffic in our parking lot is very busy in the morning, and it is a safety hazard for students to be walking alone.  Please park and walk your child into the building.  You will also need to sign your child in at the office.  Thank you!

Snow Day Lunch Info./Announcements
I want to let parents know how the district handles the hot lunch menu following a snow day. There is no rule of thumb when determining the lunch menu on the day following a snow day as the menu for that day is dependent upon what was on the menu the day of the snow day, what prep the kitchen had to do, and what fresh produce the kitchen had ordered.  Therefore, our district’s Food Service Director (Emily Murphy) provides an announcement on the SAU’s website (www.sau25.net) in the District News box, which will detail, by school, what the hot lunch offering will be the day following the snow day.  This information will be available the day of the snow day.

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.
