THE RPI PULSE

Good Afternoon RPI Families,

Well, I was really hoping to never be in a spot that we were talking about a shut down, but here we are. You are likely getting a bunch of communication from your teachers today, so I will keep this weeks newsletter brief.

Here is a link to the letter I sent out on Friday.

Here is a link to the video I sent out on Friday.

This weeks character strength is: GRATITUDE

We had several conversations on whether not we would continue our P2 lessons, and the answer is yes. The need for students to connect with one another around character strengths doesn't stop even if we aren't together.

Watch this video on gratitude. During yet more uncertain times, what are things that you are grateful for? I know I am grateful for your grit and resiliency, the unending energy that our staff have show to do what is best for our kids this year and to our tech department for getting devices in the hands of kids. Practice gratitude (start with the small things) with your family this week.

I hope you take some time to use the Family Resources this week. Information below:
