Pirate Gram

FBLA Birthday Cake Kit Drive: FBLA is collecting items which can be used for birthday cakes. They will be donating these items as kits to the local food pantry. Items they are hoping to receive include cake mixes, frosting/icing, cupcake liners, sprinkles, pans, candles, etc. The elementary class which collects the most items will win a donut party!

CSCO Lil' Pirate Basketball League Forms: Final call for the PK-2nd grade Lil' Pirate Basketball League forms. We will take late forms on Tuesday! Please get your child's form in Tuesday if he/she is wanting to play basketball. There will be four weekends of basketball games in March.

Concession Stand Help Needed: CSCO needs help with the concession stands for the Jr. High Volleyball season. If you would like to help out the organization which helps our kids, please sign up here for a night in the concession stand!

Valentine's Parties: Valentine's Parties will be on Tuesday, February 14 at 2:30 PM for each classroom besides our three-year-old preschool class, which will have their party at 10:00 AM. Your child's teacher will be letting you know what is needed for these parties soon!

Balloons and Flowers: With Valentine's Day approaching, we wanted to remind everyone that students who ride a school bus from school will not be allowed to bring balloons or glass flower vases on the bus. If your child receives these items at school (any day, but certainly on Valentine's Day), he/she will not be able to take them home on the bus so you will need to make arrangements to either pick the items up or your student up.

Still Important...

Morning Drop Off: Parents, in an effort to be good neighbors to Rapid Roberts, we will be rerouting our morning drop off line by having parents enter off 413 and turning left from northbound Pirate Lane (the road between the school and Hwy 413) into the parking lot. This will allow excess traffic to line up on Pirate Lane rather than in front of Rapid Roberts. A map is included below.

Student Absences: If your child is absent from school for any reason, please call the office to let us know. The phone number is 417-723-5300 ext. 902.

Alternative Method of Instruction (AMI) Packets: Please keep your child's AMI packet in a safe spot. This work will only need to be completed if we have to miss school and announce a day as an AMI day. If we do miss a day, then that corresponding day's work will be due the next day we are in session.

Breakfast: If your child is a parent drop off each morning and wants to eat breakfast at school, he/she needs to be dropped off no later than 7:40 AM. We have had a few come after 7:45 and they do not have time to get to breakfast before being counted tardy for class.

SNAP and Medicaid Application Assistance: If you would like assistance in applying for SNAP or Medicaid, then please call the Elementary office so we can help you set up an appointment with someone who can help you complete the process. If you would like us to send home applications for you to complete on your own, we can do that too. Just give us call and let us know how we can help! 417-723-5300 ext 902.
