End of Summer Countdown - Stay Connected!

Summer has flown by - it's already August! Thus begins the official 'countdown' to the end of summer...and our first day of school! Throughout the summer, the RTE Control Tower (our administrative team and front office staff) have worked diligently each day to prepare for the arrival of our teachers on August 13th, and our students on August 21st. Here are some resources you can access for all future school communication:

• Website for general information about our school
• School Calendar for important dates & events. You can click & copy events to your calendar!
• Flight Status Blog for announcements and updates. Subscribe to receive automatic emails.
• Twitter to see 'what's happening' around campus and in Richland 2
• Follow Mrs. Bennett & Mr. Schirmer on Twitter to learn more about your Assistant Principals.

Remember, the best way to prepare for a successful school year is to Be Proactive - bookmark and check these resources daily to view regular updates from RTE.
We can't wait to greet all of our Aviators on August 21st!

Student Handbook Snippets - RTE's Vision, Mission & Beliefs

Student Handbook Snippets will be posted daily as a way to help us all review our school procedures before the start of the new school year. Instead of asking you to read the entire handbook at one time, we will share a few "snippets" each day until all of the information has been provided. (FYI - in schools, we call this teaching strategy "chunking!")

Below is the first of many more snippets to come - enJOY!
