THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
If there be any truer measure of a man than by what he does, it must be by
what he gives. (Robert South)

Be sure to thank your child’s teacher this week for what they give children
everyday!

REMINDERS
Conference
If you have not had a parent conference with your child’s teacher, call 488-
1074 and schedule on today.  This is an easy way to find out how your child
is doing in the classroom.

Media Center Open
The Media Center is open before school 7:15-7:50 to students that would
like to read and after school 2:10-2:45 for parents and students.

WE NEED YOUR HELP
To visit 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
Elementary, 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.

ARRIVAL  The earliest you can drop your child off is 7:05 a.m. Supervision
starts at 7:05 a.m.at the Tharpe Street entarnce.  Please help us keep your
child safe but dropping off after 7:05.
Dismissal Procedures  Dismissal begins at 2:10.  We need parents to meet
students by the cafeteria walkway.  We have approximately 100 additional
students this year and the hallways are jammed.  Please help us by waiting
by the cafeteria at the Tenth Avenue Entrance.
If you have another way for your children to get home other than the normal
way they would go, PLEASE send the teacher a note.

Safety Reminder
Please talk to your child(ren) about the importance of wearing bicycle
helmets when riding their bikes.
