SUNDAY MESSAGE

Randolph Families,

Thank you to our 4th and 5th grade families who made TASK CARD TAILGATE a huge success. What other school reviews instructional material like this?!?! I could not be more proud of our 4th and 5th grade teachers for putting together this effort! Thank you to all of our families who participated in our school-wide homecoming spirit day on Friday, by wearing GHS colors and/or football or cheerleading gear! It was a FUN day!

Our first HOUSE DAY of the school year is almost here and we could not be more excited! We are looking for parent volunteers to help assist with House Day on Wednesday, October 11th! Please sign up HERE if you are able to help volunteer from 9am-1pm! *We do not allow drop in visitors on house days, so if you would like to be a part of this awesome day, please consider being a volunteer - THANK YOU! All pre-K, Kindergarten and new students to RES, will receive house shirts on the the day of the event. Please check out our HOUSE SPIRIT STORES (links below), for even more gear! We have examples in the office if you would ever like to see some of the products in person. Have your kids go all out to show their HOUSE SPIRIT!

5th grade families: Linked here GCPS Grade 5 Sense of Belonging and Inclusion Survey Fall 2023, please find a preview copy of the GCPS Sense of Belonging and Inclusion Survey that will be administered during school hours to students in grades 5-12 in the window of November 6-17. The purpose of the survey is to provide input on how GCPS is doing towards meeting our annual School Board Equity Goals established per policy JFHB/GBAA so that we can create an even better experience for all of our students. Any parent wishing to opt their child out of taking this survey may do so by emailing me at mreams@glnd.k12.va.us
