Dear Parents and Guardians,

We hope everyone had a wonderful return to school and that your family is settling into the new year smoothly! As we kick things off, we'd love for you to get involved with Redwood PTA. A few quick ways you can do this today:

ROOM PARENTS: Due 9/25

Redwood is in need of 2 head room parents per classroom. In order to be eligible you must be a current PTA member (join here at Givebacks) and fill out the google form: click here. Must submit by 9/25/26. The room parents coordinate the classroom Halloween and Holiday Parties! They may also help their teacher or PTA reach out to parents for additional classroom needs. If more than 2 parents volunteer, selections will be made at random. Selected parents will be contacted at the end of September with detailed instructions and a list of current PTA members who will be eligible to help in their classroom.

PTA COMMITTEES

Volunteer for a committee - We're looking for parents to head up and participate on committees for various activities and events throughout the year. Whether you have a little time or a lot, your help makes a big difference. Click here to sign up.

MEMBERSHIP DRIVE

Throughout the month of September, Redwood will have a friendly competition to see which grade will have the most PTA members. The winning grade will earn an "extra" snack provided by the PTA. There is zero commitment or necessary volunteering when signing up: here at Givebacks

The Redwood PTA

• Practice good handwashing, especially before eating and after playing or participating in activities.
• Encourage good cough and sneeze habits by covering coughs and sneezes with a tissue or your elbow.
• Take a moment to check your child’s hair and scalp.
• Please keep your child home if they are sick, have a fever, or are not feeling well enough to participate in the school day. If your child wakes up feeling unwell, please give them the opportunity to rest and recover at home rather than sending them to school to see how they do. The school clinic is here to support students during the school day, but it should not be used to determine whether a child is well enough to attend school. Keeping children home when they are sick helps them recover and helps protect the health of our school community.

Thank you for helping us keep our students and staff healthy!

We have begun receiving request for student absence or vacation request. Please be sure to submit the following form for all pre-planned student absences.

As a reminder if you are changing the way in which your student will be going home for the day that information should be communicated in writing and sent with the student to the teacher. ( If sending an email, it must be sent prior to 12 Noon, and you must verify with a reply from the teacher the information has been received)

Calling all recyclers! The Redwood art room is always in need of the following: plastic grocery bags, newspaper, and egg cartons (plastic or styrofoam only). If you have any of these items, please drop them off in the art room. Thank you!

As more students bring cell phones and watches with wi-fi and data capabilities, it is

important to remember and inform your children about the policy of using them while at

school. During school hours, students must keep the phone in the locker/cubby or

backpack and have it turned off. If a parent needs to contact their child or a child needs

to contact a parent, that communication must go through the school and in most cases

the main office. Watches are another area where communication may occur if wi-fi or

data are enabled. Students may wear watches and use the watches for time telling

purposes or tracking their steps and other non-communication purposes. However, if

students and parents are using the watch to call and text each other, those devices will

be viewed more for communication and will be asked to be put away each day like a cell

phone. Thank you for your attention to this matter and following these rules.

Redwood will offer grab and go breakfast each morning from 8:35-8:50. For those students who do not qualify for free or reduced lunch services, there is a fee of $2.00 associated with this program. All students are invited to participate in the program. The menu is a set repeating menu, there is only one option a day. We ask you remind students if they participate in this program the money does come from their normal lunch account.
