Welcome Back!
The school year is off to a great start. We are pleased to announce that are numbers are up, so we added two new classroom teachers. Savannah Mahlandt will be teaching first grade and Chris Mason is returning to rex as a fourth grade teacher. This year we are introducing our students to Literacy First for Reading and Everyday Mathematics. We believe these programs will help make our students successful learners.

In the morning students who arrive prior to 8:20 AM should enter through the front doors and go to the gym.

Wednesday Folders
We will be sending all regular weekly communications home in Wednesday Folders. Please be sure to check the contents of the folder each week, sign that you have viewed them, and then return the folder promptly on Thursday. If you represent an organization which may be sending notes home with students, please be sure these notes are approved for distribution by the central office and that they arrive at school before Monday to be sent home on a Wednesday.
