We want to remind parents of our carpool procedures. Students are only to be let in and out of vehicles at the cones during carpool.

We want to keep students safe and that is why we have procedures in place. Please click the bar below and make sure to familiarize yourself with the carpool map and procedures.

Rice Lake will have a Picture Retake Day coming up the morning of Wednesday, October 21st.

Students who were not here or need to have their picture retaken will be able to do so on that day. Parents, please make sure to communicate with your student's teacher if your child needs to have their picture retaken.

To order school pictures, log in to your account on mylifetouch.com or create an account using your student's ID number. Student ID numbers can be found in Campus Parent Portal.

Pictures are ordered online and sent directly to your home.

If you have any questions about picture day or ordering your student's pictures,

please call Lifetouch at 1-800-736-4753.

Visit Rice Lake Elementary’s Scholastic website for information on
how to create an eWallet for your student.
eWallets are the easiest way for students to shop at the Fall Book Fair when their
classrooms visit between October 8 - 14.

Have leftover funds from a previous book fair? Log in to your Scholastic account to find unspent funds which are saved to your eGift Card. The eGift Card can be used to fund a new eWallet for the Fall Book Fair or shop online with Scholastic.

The Book Fair is open to Families one more night during conferences.

Tuesday, Oct. 13th - After school until 7:00pm

We still need volunteers, especially in the evening, to help the Book Fair run smoothly. Daytime and evening volunteers spots available. Please sign up at the link below.

Our final night for Parent-Teacher conferences will be next Tuesday, Oct. 13th.

If you still need a conference time with your student's teacher,

The Centennial Observer is arriving in homes this week with stories from across Centennial Schools and information about the two referendum questions voters will decide on November 3.

Question 1 would help maintain teachers, educational programs, student services, reasonable class sizes, and daily operations. Operating funding supports the people and services behind student learning.

Question 2 would fund identified improvements to school safety, aging building systems, learning spaces, and community-use facilities. Bond funding is designated for facility projects rather than ongoing staffing and student programs.

Voters will decide each question separately.

• Great Teachers Matter – How Question 1 would help maintain teachers and classroom instruction..

• More Than a Lunchroom – How kitchens, cafeterias and commons support students and daily school operations.
