Dear RES Families and Friends, A great big thank you to everyone who came out to support our annual memo-rial softball game on Friday. We were able to show off our beautiful sensory garden, and the children were able to enjoy our new community build play-ground. Congratulations to Basta Bombers for their performance on Friday. RES and JRMS staff members had fun playing ball together, working at concessions and being our entertaining MCs for this special event. We loved seeing so many RES families there to support our efforts. In continued partnership, Natalie Hammond

Ms. Natalie Hammond

Please remember to use School Dismissal Manager (SDM) for absences AND we are ADDING

tardies to be reported thru SDM as well. We no longer use the info line for those messages. We

will NOT be checking for messages on the info line.

We also ask that you please not leave absence or tardy messages on the nurse’s phone exten-

sion. Please use SDM as this tool is available to our office staff for viewing.

FOR ABSENCES: Please select absent, and in the description note, provide the reason

your child is home from school, such as stomach ache, fever, cough, etc.

FOR TARDIES: In the description please note TARDY and what time you estimate he /she

will be arriving to school. Once your child is at school, please go back to your child’s SDM profile

and update the exception for the afternoon, whether bus, extended day or other option.

THANK YOU!!

any late arriving student enter the building.
