Dear Rio Grande Families,

Please take a moment to check out the attached flyers, links, and calendar of events. We truly appreciate you sharing your amazing children with us, and we look forward to seeing everyone at the Community Fair next Friday! Don’t forget to sign up for the Chili Cookoff!!

A Note From Coach Walema:
A Note From Coach Walema:
Dear Families,
To ensure your child is safe and comfortable during physical education classes, please remind them to wear appropriate physical education attire on the days that they have PE. Proper attire, like athletic shoes, comfortable shorts or pants, and breathable shirts, helps students move freely and safely, reduces the risk of injuries, and keeps them comfortable.
I appreciate your support!

Tardy slips are beginning on Tuesday, September 3rd.
What: We will be implementing a new tardy slip policy. Students who arrive after 8:10 AM must check in at the front desk to receive a tardy slip, which they will deliver to their teacher. The front desk will also notify the teacher that the student is on their way to the classroom.
Where: Check-in will take place at the front desk, and tardy slips will be delivered to the classroom.
When: The tardy slip policy starts this Tuesday. It will be in effect for students arriving after 8:10 a.m.
Why: This policy is a safety measure to ensure that all students are accounted for at all times. It helps us track students' whereabouts and maintain a secure environment for everyone.
