Principal Newsletter -- October 15, 2010

RGS 3rd graders making architectural sketches of the new building with Ms. Helmsworth. Many early art projects will be on display for the State of the District even on Tuesday evening.

A few big upcoming events merit extra space here:

On Tuesday evening, in the Grade School Commons, Dr. MacNamara, Mr. Schofield and the School Board will host a "State of the District" presentation and dialogue. This is a tradition of the neighborhood that has fallen by the wayside in recent years, and is being revitalized. I encourage you to attend.

The RHS Homecoming soccer game at Lewis & Clark College is Friday night at 6:30. I want to encourage RGS students to attend and cheer on the Mavericks.

The RHS Open House will be Sunday afternoon
from 1:00-3:00. This is not just an event for 8th graders -- though it certainly is very timely -- but many 7th graders rightly begin their high school thought process about now.

As usual, we will hold our Halloween parade on the last Friday of the month -- the 29th. Costume prep is already underway, I am sure. Students will change into, rather than come dressed in, their costumes. Please help us reinforce the guidelines: "appropriate for school" and "no weapons."

Also, a reminder for dog owners of our "leash laws" focused on keeping children safe:

1. Dogs must remain on a leash at all times while on any portion of the school campus (includes commons, sidewalks, covered play areas.) *Please note: in this context, "campus" is separate from the field area.

2. Dogs must remain on a leash on the field when school is in session and children are present, and during any practices, school events, and sports events.

3. Dogs may not be left unattended on campus or tied up on campus for any reason.

4. Dogs are not allowed on the chipped area of the playground or near the play structures at any time.
