💪✨ While most of us are enjoying a slower summer pace, our amazing custodial team is hard at work—scrubbing, waxing, and deep cleaning every corner of our school! Their behind-the-scenes magic transforms classrooms into shiny, fresh spaces ready for students and staff to return.

Is your student headed to Kindergarten this fall? Be sure to sign-up for some time with one of our Parents Educators to help you and your child get ready. Parent Educators have screening times available the week of July 14 at the Early Childhood Center. If you live in Fort Zumwalt School District and your child will be 5 years old on or before July 31, it's time to get ready for Kindergarten! https://bit.ly/4k8fgqy

Last week our Kindergarten students are learning all about drawing maps with labels! They took time to do these outside to soak up the sunshine while learning- How fun!!

Ms. Le's class was been busy learning and leading last week. They practiced a new engagement strategy called sage and scribe where students lead and teach the learning within the classroom and other students write what the leader is saying/teaching. Way to go 4th Grade leaders!!

Last week we had another school wide assembly where students learned about the Leader In Me Habit 6: Synergize and the importance of teamwork, sharing ideas, learning from others, and everyone sharing their strengths to work together to accomplish more. Shout out to our Media club which is led by Ms. Nicole Black and Ms. Madeline Knese. Special shout out to our Media Club members who work hard to help lead these assemblies!

Can you believe that Spring Break is upon us?! One day to go! The weather has been beautiful outside!!! Look at these rockets having some FUN outside together!! :) We hope you find time to spend together as a family and recharge for our last few months here at RCE before summer!
