Empowering a Love of Learning

5th Grade Camp is coming up and these kids are excited! We will have a parent information meeting on Thursday, September 10 at 6 pm in the Reeves cafeteria. We hope everyone can make it so that questions can be answered, details shared, and you can hear all about the fun activities that will make this trip a memorable experience for your child. We will be sending more information soon, but we figured we’d get a few basics out to you right now.

We cannot wait to take these wonderful 5th graders on a remarkable Outdoor Education adventure and we are even more excited to watch them experience it! The administrators at Reeves and PISD have made a thorough search for the highest quality outdoor education program, and they have selected the program at Sky Ranch.

Sky Ranch is located near Van, TX, an hour and a half east from Dallas. It has been in operation for over 60 years and has been a long-trusted name in quality programming for children. The curriculum and staff are outstanding. This program is to serve as an extension of the classroom, delivering educational content in alignment with the Texas Standards, especially science. You can feel secure about your child's participation in hands-on activities which will develop their awareness, appreciation, and understanding of the outdoor environment. SKY RANCH SCHOOL PROGRAMS

Students will leave for Sky Ranch the morning of Wednesday, October 28 and return to Reeves mid afternoon Friday, October 30. Get ready for the excitement from your child!

If you think you may be interested in being a chaperone for our Outdoor Learning Camp, the first step is to make sure you have a background check on file. Click the button below to get that done! More info about chaperones will follow at our September 10 meeting.

5th graders can sign up to become a Library Manager and help check in and shelve books, as well as keep the library organized and welcoming.

Library Managers will help once a week during recess, and students must remain in good academic standing while participating. Students who are interested should grab and return a signed parent permission slip to Mrs. Wise in the library. We are hoping to begin the program in the 2nd or 3rd week of September, with students participating on a rotating schedule.

A Library Manager Permission form can be found here.
