RES Sunday Message
Week of August 10, 2026
We are excited to welcome back all of our teachers and staff this week! Our new teachers and staff started last week and there was such positive energy in the building. Please take a moment to read everything this week as there is a lot of information to help make sure everyone is ready for students to return!
Is your child riding the bus this year? Use this Google Form to request a bus for any new students or changes. Bus requests take 5-10 days to complete. New school bus schedules will be posted two weeks before the start of school. A reminder that students in Pre-K through 3rd grade, require an approved adult to physically be present at the bus door and at the designated stop in the mornings and afternoons. Please be sure to review bus rules and safety with your children.
Car rider numbers will be available to pick up at the main entrance to school by the office during Back to School Night. If you are unable to attend on Thursday, we will send car numbers home with students the first day of school. Please let us know if you need more than 2 copies of your car number. Car rider information - please read!
We will see everyone at Back-to-School Night on Thursday, August 13.
