Happy May, RES Families!

May is here, and it's full of opportunities to celebrate student growth, learning, and connection. We’re especially excited to honor our amazing educators during Teacher Appreciation Week! With tons of exciting events happening throughout our school community this month, thank you for your continued support and partnership—we’re looking forward to a wonderful May together.

RES Spring Volksmarch

RES Spring Volksmarch will be on Friday, May 16 (rain date: May 19). RES Koalas will head into the woods adjacent to the school grounds and go on a walk to enjoy fresh air and nature. Parents and siblings are welcome to join but please note that the trail is not stroller friendly. We will continue the walk unless it is storming or pouring rain so please remember suitable clothes and shoes. Please look out for your child's class departure time information sent by your child's teacher. After the walk, students will receive a German pretzel courtesy of RES PTA.

Field Day

Parents: If you are volunteering that day, lunch will be provided for you as a thank you for your support. If you plan to spend the day with your child and eat in the cafeteria, adult lunches are $7.50. Please note that there are no free adult lunches, even if your child receives free or reduced meals.

Be sure to bring cash or ensure your student’s account has enough funds to cover both meals. We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to a fun-filled day!
