IMPORTANT INFO/SAVE THE DATE
- A reminder from Nurse Usry: A friendly reminder that food should not be shared without nurse approval. We have many students with food allergies and sharing unapproved food with other students could result in an emergency situation. We appreciate your cooperation and awareness of the safety risks involved.
- Conundrum Day - see attached information below
- Gifted and Talented News The second and fifth graders received Cogat scores in the report cards that went home in January. All students scoring above 90%tile in any subtest have been automatically referred for a gifted evaluation process. Those parent permission forms have gone home already. If you have a first or fourth grader please keep in mind that they will be screened next year. How can students be referred for gifted screening? A teacher or a parent may refer a child for gifted screening. If your child exhibits gifted behaviors and is performing above level, you or your child’s teachers may refer your child as a good candidate. The spring testing window opens February 1st and closes February 28th. Go to Goochland County Schools Gifted Page. Here you will find the Gifted Referral Process and the Initial Referral Form. This form is due to Randolph Elementary by 3pm on February 28th. Please contact egemmill@glnd.k12.va.us with questions.
- 5th Grade Graduation: We are aware there is a conflict with GMS and have been working to find a better date. Thank you for your patience. Our 5th Grade Graduation will now be Thursday, May 22nd @ 8:30am at RES, followed by the YMCA pool party for the kids. More details will come from the 5th grade team!
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call our main office. We are happy to help!
Let's have a great week,
Melissa Reams, Principal
