R-PEL Parent Communication 10/26/25

R-PEL Families,

By now you should have been receiving communication from your child's teacher regarding Fall conferences. We look forward to sharing all of the wonderful things that we are doing and learning about at R-PEL.

Did you know that R-PEL is a two year in a row National Showcase School for CKH?

What is Capturing Kids' Hearts? CKH is a program for teachers that focuses on building strong, positive relationships between students and staff to foster a safe and supportive school environment.

You may have heard your kids talking about their Social Contract in their classroom, if not, ask them what that is!

October's Theme is Self-Direct

What does it mean to Self-Direct?

Self-Direction is the ability and learned skill to cast a vision of future goals and then take intentional steps toward who, where, and what we want to be. Instead of focusing on things to control or avoid, we emphasize our responsibility to make positive choices related to our emotions, attitudes, and actions.

Hello Rocket Sports Fans,

We are excited to announce that this fall, Reeths-Puffer High School Athletics will transition to a cashless-only system for ticketing using GoFan. Our goal is to streamline event operations and enhance your game-day experience by reducing wait times and improving security.

This transition follows the successful implementation of cashless systems at MHSAA events and among local schools such as Mona Shores, Grand Haven, West Ottawa, Jenison and Zeeland Schools.

How to Purchase Tickets:

Online: Visit gofan.co and search for "Reeths-Puffer."
QR Codes: Scan the posted codes at entrance gates.
On-Site Card Payments: Use a credit/debit card at the gate.

Fans without smartphones can purchase tickets in advance or receive assistance at the gate.

Why Go Cashless?
Faster Entry – Spend less time in line and more time enjoying the game!
Increased Security – Reduces the risks associated with handling cash.
Convenience – Buy tickets ahead of time and access them digitally.

We appreciate your support and are here to help make this transition smooth for everyone. If you have any questions or need assistance, please reach out. At this time only high school athletics will be cashless and all season, family and individual passes will be cashless.

We’re rolling out the red carpet for another season of FREE Family Movie Days at the historic Frauenthal Theater, presented by Howmet Aerospace Foundation.

Bring the whole family for an afternoon of fun, laughter, and movie magic - all for free! No tickets needed, just show up, grab your favorite snacks, and enjoy.

Bonus Fun: Each movie will have special movie-themed activity that will make the day even more memorable!
