Dear Rippowam families
A huge thank you to our wonderful PTO volunteers who hosted a Scholastic Book fair at Rippowam this past week. All students were able to go in their HEART class. Students were so excited and it was wonderful to see students reading during lunch and excited over books.
This week, our 6th grade drama class will be performing an original play for our friends at Apples. Thanks to our drama teacher, Ms. Beach, and her wonderful students for their hard work on this performance.
We have a lot of exciting events happening in the coming weeks! Make sure you check out our Rippowam Events Calendar for upcoming and planned events.
Quarter 1 are posted in Parent Portal
Grades are finalized and are visible in the Parent Portal. When you log into the Parent Portal, look on the left navigation menu for “Student Reports.” This will list all report cards. When you choose your child’s Quarter 1 Report Card, you will be prompted to digitally sign the receipt. This is a new feature. Parent/Teacher conferences are Wednesday, December 11th-Friday, December 13th. More information will come.
