Good evening Racer families, this is Ms. Durko with some reminders for the week ahead.
The temperatures have really cooled down, please make sure your children are wearing coats or jackets to school daily. Also, it is a great idea to put their name in the coat incase they might end up in our Lost and Found. Speaking of the lost and found...there are MANY coats, jackets, water bottles and lunch boxes in our lost and found. If you would like to stop by anytime this week or next, bring your ID, and our office staff can let you head down to find your child's missing items. Again, there are MANY items there, and we would love for them to find their owners before the holiday break.
The Holiday Shop has been going great, and we need more volunteers to help it run smoothly. If you are available to help out, sign up on the PTA Facebook page.
Tomorrow, Wednesday, December 10th is our Family Night at the RDE Holiday Shop. It is in the Media Center from 4:00-7:00. We would love for you to come out and give your students a chance to shop with the family. In addition to shopping Santa will be here for pictures, along with some yummy food vendors including: Little Reggie's Cookies. Squeeze the Day Lemonade, and Waffee Station. Shop for gifts, get some food, and see Santa all here at River Dell. A reminder for Family NIght: only CASH or VOUCHERS are accepted. If you want to use a credit card, you must purchase a voucher at: www.funhgs.com. You can also scan the QR Code on the PTA Facebook Page or on the flyer that came home.
We hope you have a wonderful evening and remember, once a Racer, always a Racer.

First of all, Friday is the last day of the 1st quarter. Next Monday, October 20th, students do not come to school. It is a JCPS Teacher Workday.
Some other reminders: if you are driving a golf cart in the morning or afternoon, to drop off or pick up your student, please only travel in the grass. We would like to ensure that the sidewalks are reserved for our students and families walking or riding bikes, scooters, etc. If you are picking up in a golf cart, please park in the grass. Those families that are picking up walkers that are NOT in golf carts, please wait for your students on the sidewalk area. Thanks for helping everyone stay safe.
If you have not signed up for Class Dojo yet, please do so asap. This is our quickest and easiest way to get important information to you each day. If you need assistance, please contact our front office for help.
Another reminder that students should not be wearing any clothing that exposes their stomach or midriff.
Lastly, a reminder that our tardy bell rings daily at 8:55, and we need all students to be in their seats ready to learn at 8:55am daily. Carpool is wrapping up around 4:25 each day, and all cars should be on campus no later than 4:20pm. Thank you for helping us with that.
We hope everyone has a wonderful week, and remember, once a Racer, always a Racer.
