What will my child be learning about this year? How can we support our children as learners? These are some of the questions that will be answered at curriculum night. Parents and guardians (not students) are invited to attend this event. Important topics of curriculum and expectations for each grade level will be addressed. Teachers will speak about the programs and materials used in each content area as well as the timeline for skills and topics that are covered during the school year.
In order to accommodate our families’ schedules and support parents in visiting multiple classrooms, we have modified the schedule. Classroom teachers will be presenting the same information during two different sessions. Therefore, parents only need to attend one of the sessions.
The schedule for the evening is as follows:
· 5:15-5:45 pm Grade 1, 2 & 3 Session 1
· 6:00-6:30pm Grade 1, 2 & 3 Session 2 (same information as session 1)
As a friendly reminder for some and an introduction to others, I want to share information about our birthday traditions here at school. The night before each student's birthday, Mrs. Enos (our Reading Specialist) emails families a short video where she initiates the birthday celebration and reads a special birthday story. Then, kiddos' birthdays are announced over the intercom during morning announcements on their day (Saturday birthdays are celebrated on Fridays and Sunday birthdays are celebrated on Mondays; vacation birthdays will be announced on the Friday before vacation break starts). Students will not only hear their names and birthdays announced but they will also be invited to visit Mrs. Enos's room during snack or recess break to receive birthday gifts (a book of their choice and some birthday trinkets). Birthdays are a big deal at this age and deserve to be treated as such!
Because school is not in session during the summer for those with a summer birthday (mid-June through the beginning of September, when morning announcements started), we have opted to celebrate those particular kiddos on their HALF BIRTHDAY instead. It helps balance the number of announcements and includes them a bit more instead of celebrating all of the summer birthdays on one day at the end of the school year.
Parents - please be on the lookout for an email as messages can sometimes get lost in the junk folder.
Elsa and Cole were our first students to celebrate their birthdays this school year. Happy birthday Elsa and Cole!
- Breakfast and Lunch are free to all students
- Ala Carte items are an additional choice. Students must have money on their My School Bucks Lunch account to pay.
- Currently, the only Ala Carte item at RLM is milk, at a cost of $0.75.
- Lunch cards are organized by classroom and hung in pocket carts around the cafe. If students can't locate their card, they simply should get into line and their name will be entered manually.
- Snack/Breakfast is offered daily. We offer daily specials and always have cereal and graham or cheese crackers available. Students also take fruit/juice and milk is available.
- Lunch: students order their lunch in the morning with their teacher. In the cafe, as they come through the line, they choose their fruit and vegetables. We typically have at least one fresh fruit and a canned fruit plus 1-2 vegetables. Each student needs to take at least 1 of those items. Milk is always available.
- Water is available in the cafe at a filtered water bottle filling/bubbler station. Students are encouraged to bring a water bottle to meals.
- If you have additional questions, please reach out to AnnMarie Grinder, Food Service Director at agrinder@wbridgewater.com
