SAFETY
UPDATE
Ruediger has installed a new system to help protect your children called V-
soft. V-soft helps track visitors, students, faculty, contractors,
volunteers at the school; providing a safer more monitored environment.
All visitors on campus check-in at the front office where they will be
asked to present their valid driver’s license.
For added safety, the school’s gates Tharpe Street and side gates will be
locked during the school day 7:50-2:10. All visitors are asked to check in
at the front office when they come on campus.

Volunteer / Mentor
Program
If you
would like to make a difference in a child's life, sign-up as a mentor or
classroom volunteer. Mrs. Long, our guidance counselor, will help you
match your time and interest with a placement need. Just call 488-1074 and
ask for Mrs. Long.
Box Top
Collection
Please help our school collect Box Tops. For every Box Top that is brought
in, we earn ten cents from General Mills. If you have any Box Tops at home,
please cut them out and send them in with your child. The school and the
class will appreciate it.
Visits on Campus You will need to sign in and get a Visitor Badge any time
you are on campus. This is a safety precaution and we appreciate your help
with this procedure.
We have a NO Drop-in policy at Ruediger, please check with the classroom
teacher BEFORE stopping by to visit the classroom. We are trying hard to
have as few interruptions to the instructional program, as possible. A
teacher stopping a lesson even for a few minutes to assist or answer a
parent’s question, disrupts the lesson and takes away precious learning
time.
If you would like to observe or volunteer in the class, just let the
teacher know to expect you. This will help the teacher plan and keep those
interruptions down.
Medication Students are not allowed to carry any type of medication
(prescription or non-prescription) in back packs. Parents should come in
and complete proper paperwork to ensure that your child will receive
medication properly and on time.
Transportation If you change how your children goes home, PLEASE send the
teacher a note! Remember, if an emergency occurs
or plans change, call the school office BEFORE 1:45 PM and a message will
be given to your child about the change. We can not get messages to
students after 1:45 PM. So, please call as soon as you know your plans have
changed.
Dismissal Procedures Dismissal begins at 2:10. We need parents to meet
students by the cafeteria. We have approximately 100 additional students
this year and the hallways are jammed. Please help us by waiting at the
Tenth Avenue entrance by the cafeteria.
Arrival Supervision begins at the Tharpe Street entrance at 7:05. Please
do not drop off students before that time. At 7:15 Students may go to the
cafeteria for breakfast, playground, technology lab or the media
center.
Car dropped off or picked up is done at the Tharpe Street
entrance.
Walkers should enter and exit on Tenth Street entrance
using the crosswalk.
If you would like to walk your child to class, please park in the Tenth
Avenue lot and walk your child across the parking lot.
For safety there is NO drop off in the parking lot.
Bus If your child rides the bus, please make sure you speak
to your child about following all rules on the bus.
Thank you for your
help and support. You make a difference
Looking forward to seeing you on RES campus this week.
Your Partner in Education,
Carolyn Spooner, Principal
