Dear Gator Families,
It’s been a productive and positive week at RGS, and we’re proud of the continued focus and effort our students are showing across all grade levels.
As we look ahead to next week, please remember that Monday, October 13th is a teacher workday — there will be no school for students on that day. We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Tuesday, October 14th.
Benchmark testing for students in grades 2–8 will begin on Thursday, October 16th. These assessments are not graded in the traditional sense but are used to help teachers measure students’ understanding and mastery of the standards taught so far this year. The results guide instructional planning and ensure that each student continues making strong progress. We’re excited to see the growth our students have made and to keep building on the positive momentum established this fall.
Wishing all of our gator families a safe, restful, and enjoyable weekend!
Your principal,
Meredith Welch
📚Kindergarten-Second Grade Families 📚
