Grade Scale for Parents - November.docx
Hello! My apologies for late messages this week!
Report Cards & Parent Teacher
-Report Cards go home Monday, November 19th. Please sign the last page of the Report Card and return that in the envelope provided. The grading rubric is attached to this e-mail. No worries if you see a mark of 2 or 3 on the first Report Card….that is what we would expect to see!
-Parent/Teacher meetings are Thursday, November 22 from 5-8 pm and Friday, November 23 from 1-3 pm. Please call the main office at 738-6511 to make an appointment.
-No school for students on Friday, November 23rd.
Cashless Schools
-All families are asked to go to the Cashless Schools website and create an account. It is also very, very important that you link this account to your child using their name and birthdate. This will allow you to make payments on sports, trips and activities and see any item that is available for your child.
-Currently Ski Club (which is full), Gr. 8 Quebec Trip and Badminton Team are all available for purchase but only visible if you have your account linked to your child’s name and your child is on the list for these items.
Inclement Weather Info
-The District has just sent out an updated version of their “School Closure” and “bus delay policy. This policy is also posted on our website. Go to rvms.nbed.nb.ca and look for “School Closure & Inclement Weather” under the “About Us” tab.
-You will also find information on closures or delays as listed below:
· local radio stations prior to 6:30 a.m.
· District website (www.asd-s.nbed.nb.ca)

Support Student Entrepreneurship
-Pizza and Cookie dough available for purchase $5 (2 x 12 pizza or 3 dozen cookies).
-Complete pepperoni pizza $7
-Orders can be placed in the Tech Lab each morning and items are available for pick-up at the end of the day. Families may also come directly to the office for purchase.
Cellphones & Electronics
-We are in the process of reviewing our policy and expectations with students (this can be found on page 8 of the student agenda). We are hopeful that we can reintroduce cellphone and electronic use soon.
-We feel it is important that students learn to use these tools appropriately and we will continue to teach and discuss this with our Raiders. Please continue these conversations at home as well.
-I encourage any families who still have concerns, to continue the ban by telling your child not to bring these items to school. Several students have expressed that they would prefer this.
