CAR RIDER REMINDERS - IMPORTANT *For our children s safety (including yours), please do not use your cell phone from the time you merge into one lane until after you have left campus. Watch for other cars moving and for students. *Also make sure your mirror tag is on your mirror from the time you merge until after you pick up your child. This not only keeps the line flowing but it helps us get your child to you more quickly. If we see you coming but your child is not outside, we can more quickly get them to you without disrupting the process. SANTA SHOP - MESSAGE FROM RP PTO Rich Pond Santa Shop is arriving soon! Each year, we offer a selection of small, inexpensive gifts that allow your child to pick presents for their family and loved ones for the holidays. It offers the kids a chance to use their math skills with their money, and the independence and confidence of making choices on their own. This year our Santa Shop will be Tuesday, December 15 th and Wednesday, December 16 th during school. Each class will have a chance to shop on one of these days, and we will have it open Thursday morning for any absences. We will be sending home an envelope next week that you can put money for your child to shop and also an area to write down a list for your child and give them an idea of how much to spend on each person. The company that we partner with to get the gifts gives back a portion of the sales so our school is able to benefit from the shop. We appreciate you allowing us to help your children share the excitement of the holidays!
