Drop your child off at the opening in the fence so they can go straight onto the playground. This is a “STOP, DROP and GO” zone

Do not block traffic by parking illegally here. Do not enter the staff parking lot at any time to pick up or drop off students. This is a safety issue. Thank you.

Construction Update

Our construction project is not complete; however, the building is ready to have all of our students return.

There may be temporary relocation of some classrooms while finishing work is completed. This

may have an impact on entrances and exits. Safety of our students and staff is our main priority.

We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding!

Traffic Direction at Cecil Rhodes School

To decrease congestion and for the safety of all of our children, please park your vehicle correctly and safely. Walk to the playground to meet your child.

We need your help to keep our children safe. Safety before convenience. Thank you!

The 2020-2021 school year is off

to a great start! Routines and

expectations have been

established and we are getting to

know one another. The students

were introduced to Q Bear on the

first day of school. He is our

classroom mascot and promotes

a learning environment which is

safe, respectful and productive.

Did you know that CRS School has a “Book Bus”?

Our library is currently closed to students so we are taking the library to the students, and they are loving it. Each grade 1 – 6

class has a scheduled time in their school cycle when the Book Bus stops at their

classroom. Mrs. Mckenzie teaches a short lesson on a book topic and then the

students vote for their choice from three books and Mrs. McKenzie reads it to them. Following the reading, each student is given a few books to choose from and right there

at the Book Bus the library books are scanned and the students have a library

book to enjoy! When the books are returned to the drop box outside of the library, they are then

quarantined for a week before they can be used again.
