RES Sunday Message

Welcome back Roadrunners!

*Special Winter Weather Edition*

We hope everyone stayed safe and warm during our winter weather closure! We’re excited to welcome students back to school and settle back into our routines together. Please know that any weather-related absences or tardies will be excused. For student safety, we will hold indoor recess this week as our playgrounds and outdoor spaces remain icy. A reminder that no breakfast is served when we have a 2-hour delay. Lunch times will remain the same.

Thank you in advance for your patience in the car line and with buses as we transition back to our schedule and continue to navigate winter conditions. Please use extra caution when entering and exiting the school parking lot, as refreezing may create slippery areas.

We are looking forward to a great week together!

Randolph Celebrates Black History Month

Students across grade levels will engage in learning about Africa, African American history, and the contributions of Black Americans. Pre-K students will explore Africa’s geography, music, animals, language, and traditions with a guest instructor. Kindergarten through third grade students will learn about influential historical figures through stories, discussions, and activities, highlighting creativity, courage, perseverance, and problem-solving. Upper elementary students will deepen their learning through projects, exhibits, math and reading activities, biographies, folktales, and creative displays that showcase the achievements and impact of Black Americans. Fifth graders will extend this work through poetry studies and by creating daily fact features highlighting significant contributions. We look forward to a month of learning about and celebrating the rich history, culture, and lasting contributions of Black individuals who have shaped our world.
