Afternoon Pickup Update
Afternoon Pickup Update
After the school buses have dismissed at the end of the day, parents are welcome to use the southern loop in front of the school for student pickup. While the buses are present, please do not use this loop so they can exit safely. Buses typically leave within seven minutes, after which the southern loop is available for pickup. We hope this helps reduce lines and wait times.

Review of the RME Procedure Regarding Toys from Home
Review of the RME Procedure Regarding Toys from Home
Our school has a clear procedure that toys and similar personal items from home are not allowed at school. Recently, we have seen students bring trading cards, Pokémon cards, and other trinkets. These items often create challenges, whether from the perceived unfairness of a trade, the loss of a cherished belonging, or conflicts among peers. To support fairness and avoid unnecessary distractions, we ask families to help reinforce the school’s expectations about toys from home. Please take a moment to review the following procedure with your child:
In general, students should not bring toys from home to school. This includes toys in the more traditional sense, as well as such items as trading cards, collector cards, Legos, and figurines. However, students may bring reasonable play equipment to use outside during recess, such as jump ropes or balls (hard baseballs are not allowed at school because they pose a safety hazard). It is the responsibility of the child to keep track of anything brought from home. The school is not responsible for lost or damaged equipment that is brought to school.
