Dear RES Families,

With MUCH respect and appreciation,

Warmly,

Michelle Pitts

Shark Presentation

Mr. Machinchick came to visit and teach our fourth grade student about his job, swimming with and studying SHARKS!! He brought his underwater camera, along with video and pictures of his work. The children were enthralled and obviously impressed with his day job.

New Benches!

Our library got some new benches and our students have been loving them. They have been reading together and Mrs. Wheeler has found another storage location. We love to see children enjoying books but also really enjoy watching them enjoy one another.

Second Graders on a Shape Hunt

Our second graders are learning about geometry but we couldn't resist sharing this picture. They had a blast searching the school for various shapes and identifying their characteristics.

Lunch with Students

We do allow one family member at a time to have lunch with their child(ren) but this is very optional and we don't want families to feel pressured to attend.

  • Email resoffice@sau50.org if you would like to attend with the date/time (starting October 1). It is important to anticipate who will be in the building. We love these opportunities for students and their family members but we will always put safety first.
  • We do have a focus during this time...eating for energy and brain power!
  • Family members must meet the child in the cafeteria and leave from the cafeteria.
  • Lunch times are:
  • Kindergarten-11:45-12:10

    First Grade-12:15-12:40

    Second Grade-12:15-12:40

    Third Grade- 11:15-11:40

    Fourth Grade-11:15-11:40
