Rush Home Connection

The beginning of the 2019-2020 school year has quickly passed us by! We are in the groove here at Rush School and the students have fully transitioned to their new grade levels. With Halloween now behind us, we look forward to November and the end of the first trimester.

As this new month begins, it makes us reflect upon the many things for which we are grateful. We would like to share a few:

First and foremost, we are thankful to work with our incredible students in grades 3, 4, and 5! They are so inquisitive and eager to learn. They come to school each day with smiles on their faces and joy in their hearts!

We feel blessed to work alongside the many teachers, assistants, counselor, nurse, secretaries, lunch clerks, and other support staff who care about student success and have the best interests of our students at heart. We see dedicated and hard-working individuals going above and beyond to make sure that great things happen in our school. They do make a difference, and our students benefit from those efforts.

We are grateful for the support of a wonderful community of Rush families! Our interactions with students' families have been positive and productive! We appreciate the trust and confidence that parents have placed in us, leaving their most valuable ones with us. We appreciate the families who work so hard to advocate and are critical partners in their children's education. Thanks to your influence and involvement, your children come to school with a solid foundation and understand the importance of learning!

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding, and enjoy your Thanksgiving break!

Our lost and found table is located in the main lobby and has a significant amount of items waiting to be claimed. Please check with your child each week to ensure they have all of their belongings. Its a good idea to label jackets, lunch boxes, and water bottles with your child's name. This way more items can be returned and found in a timely manner.

We will hold onto the items until the Holiday Break before donating whatever is unclaimed to charity.

Thank you to the many families who have participated in our SchoolStore fundraiser so far! We have raised $300 for the school in general and over $8,600 has been donated to our teachers in gift cards! Wow!!

If you would like to participate:

1. Please visit www.schoolstore.net and sign up using our school ID: 158838.

2. You will be asked to send form emails to family, friends, and co-workers to support your student.

3. Email your teacher your child's student prize code for them to get their really fun participation prize.

Thanks again for the AMAZING support!!

In honor of American Education Week, Rush School's parent/guardian visitation day will be Thursday November 21st. Parents and guardians are cordially invited to visit the classrooms between 9:00 A.M. to 11:00 A.M. and from 1:30 P.M. to 2:45 P.M. In order to avoid distractions during instruction, siblings are respectfully encouraged to stay at home with their favorite babysitter.
