Our Week at Reutter School
Week of January 12, 2026
Principal's Message
Reutter School Families,
Happy New Year! I hope this message finds you well and refreshed after the holiday break. As we dive into a brand-new year, I want to extend my warmest wishes for a fantastic start to 2026 for you and your families.
With the arrival back from our extended winter break, it's crucial for our students to maintain their focus on their studies. I encourage parents to support their children in staying dedicated to their academics by ensuring homework is completed and taking advantage of additional academic assistance provided through the online iReady program. This valuable resource is designed to reinforce classroom learning and enhance your child's educational experience.
As a friendly reminder, students are expected to arrive at school promptly by 7:27 AM (homeroom occurs from 7:15 AM - 7:27 AM). Punctuality is key to a smooth start to the day and ensures that students can maximize their learning opportunities. Your cooperation in adhering to the school schedule is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your ongoing commitment to your child's education. Together, we can make 2026 a year of growth, success, and achievement for every student at the Caroline L. Reutter School.
Wishing you a wonderful week ahead!
Warm regards,
Mr. Theodore Peters
Principal
Caroline L. Reutter School

A Look At This Past Week...
National Law Enforcement Officer's Day
On behalf of the students and staff at Caroline L. Reutter School, I would like to take a moment to recognize National Law Enforcement Officer's Day. We are incredibly fortunate to have a dedicated and professional partner in the Franklin Township Police Department, whose presence in our hallways and community provides more than just security—it provides a sense of family and stability.
We would like to extend a heartfelt "thank you" to Chief DeCesari, our school liaison Sgt. Murray, and our dedicated School Resource Officers: SRO Bozarth, SRO Weston, SRO LoRusso, and SRO Trabosh. Their commitment to the safety, mentorship, and well-being of our students is invaluable. Whether they are greeting students in the morning or providing guidance during school events, their positive impact on our school culture is felt every day.
Thank you for your service and for your unwavering support of the Reutter School family!
- Mr. Peters
Principal and District School Safety Specialist

Newfield Bank Representatives Deliver Financial Literacy Presentation for Reutter School Students
Representatives from Newfield Bank visited Reutter School on January 9 to deliver instructional sessions on financial literacy and banking topics to the school's fifth and sixth-grade students. This event was conducted as part of the school’s initiative to provide non-traditional educational content through professional community partnerships.
During the presentation, bank personnel utilized visual aids to illustrate banking operations, including the process of depositing funds, the function of interest, and the fundamentals of personal budgeting. Students were observed participating in a guided simulation where they categorized expenses into "needs" and "wants" and calculated the results of various savings scenarios.
Following the direct instruction, representatives facilitated a question-and-answer segment. Students were overheard asking specific questions regarding the security of electronic banking and the requirements for opening a first savings account.
Sixth Grade Science
Students in Miss Reim's Sixth Grade Science Classes recently illustrated the transfer of energy througout different ecosystems.
Nurse's Helpers
The CLR Nurse's Helpers made an educational bulletin board to review helpful tips on Cold & Flu Season.
