Panorama Survey~ 

We’ve been challenged again this year—and we’re ready for it! Our school is once again going head-to-head with our neighbors at Forest Pines Elementary in a friendly competition. The challenge? To see which school can get the highest family survey response rate. If we win, Forest Pines staff will have to wear OUR school colors, take pictures in them, and post a big sign in front of their school showing off our victory. But if they win… well, we’d have to do the same. (But let’s be honest—we’re not too worried.)

We KNOW our families will rise to the occasion and help us bring home the win! Please take a few moments to complete the survey and encourage others to do the same. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. 

Let’s do this—GAME ON!!

Complete the survey once for each school where you have a child enrolled. If you have more than one child enrolled in the same school, you will only need to complete the survey once.

Carpool Casanova~ 

We ROCKED Carpool Casanova last year. RCES was listed as one of the top 3 school sites visited last year.  The Carpool Casanova had to change the date from the fall AND now he will be here this Friday, May 2nd. Here is a message from Carpool Casanova: “This year we need to see all of you loud and proud too! We’re giving away a School Spirit Award at the end of the year! If the Casanova comes to your school make sure you all wear pink, sing along, make signs, dance, and get the entire school and staff out to participate! The School Spirit Award also comes with $500!”

It’s that time again—let’s show everyone that RCES knows how to BRING THE ENERGY and SPREAD THE VIBES!

Just like last year, we’re going all out! Wear your brightest PINK, decorate your cars, make some amazing posters, and most importantly—bring the FUN! Let’s fill the day with smiles, spirit, and school pride!

Our bus riders will be joining in on the excitement too, so this will truly be a full-school celebration. We can’t wait to see all the creativity, color, and RCES joy in action!
