Good evening Racer families, this is Ms. Durko with some reminders for the week ahead. Please remember that the tardy bell rings each day at 8:55am. Students should arrive before 8:55 so that they can be in their seats, in their classrooms at 8:55am. 5th grade parents, please send in $10 for the 5th grade End of Year Celebration at your earliest convenience. We have a great team of parent volunteers working on this special event and we appreciate your help with these donations. We hope everyone has a great week ahead. Have a great night and remember, once a Racer, always a Racer.

Students who ride bus 762 will come home on bus 682 today. They may arrive home a few minutes later due to a different driver.

Good evening Racer families, this is Ms. Durko with some reminders. Tomorrow is Spring Picture Day. Only students that have pre-paid will get their pictures taken tomorrow. Families who are walkers in the afternoon, please make sure that you are crossing WITH your children across the bus driveway at the top of the hill. We have many daycare vans, cars, and buses leaving on that driveway and we want all of our students to safely cross with an adult. Also, we received a message from River Dell Townes, which is the neighborhood right next door to RDE. They have given us a heads up that they will begin towing vehicles that park on the parking pads and grass to walk over to RDE in the afternoons. We wanted to give you a heads up so that you can make other arrangements rather than parking there for the remainder of the year. Thank you. Just another reminder of the importance of keeping your child in class until the end of the day, unless there is an emergency or a medical appointment. Our teachers are working diligently to get all of the standards and information taught in the short amount of time left, and we want our students to be successful. Staying for the full day will help them stay on top of their learning and make them feel confident and sure of themselves. Thank you for your help with this. We hope everyone has a great night and remember...once a Racer, always a Racer. Have a nice evening.

Johnston County Public Schools is committed to building well-rounded students and consistently improving our schools for greater student success. Our school is participating in an opportunity to gather feedback on how we can better meet our goals of improving student success. This week, students and teachers will participate in JCPS surveys so that we can better support all of our stakeholders. In order to learn more about your students' needs, we will be asking for your student’s feedback via an online survey that began on March 17th and will remain open for students through March 28th. The survey will take approximately 20-30 minutes to complete. The survey will be accessed at surveys.panoramaed.com/johnstoncounty - students will use their student ID number to access the survey. It will be taken with their homeroom teacher for grades 3-5. We are asking that all of our students participate in the surveys, as their responses will provide invaluable insights into their experiences and how we can improve and adapt to their needs. If a student doesn’t feel like they have enough information to answer a question, they are able to skip the item altogether. If you don't want your child to participate, please complete the form that will come home in the Tuesday folder. We thank you in advance for your student’s participation. If you have any questions or concerns about the survey administration, please don’t hesitate to contact our school.

Hello Racer families, just a reminder that tomorrow is "ROCK YOUR CRAZY SOCKS" for World Down Syndrome Day. It is also a Caps and PJ Bottoms for a Cause Day. Students and staff are welcome to wear a hat and/or PJ Bottoms for $1.00 tomorrow. All the proceeds from this event will go to a Racer Family in need. We hope everyone has a great evening and remember, once a Racer, always a Racer. Have a good night.

UPDATE: A sub bus is on the way!! Should arrive on campus at River Dell to get students at approximately 4:25.

Your student's bus (116) is broken down and a sub bus has not arrived yet. It may be a very long delay to even get here to RDE to pick up our students. If you can arrange to come pick up your student, please do so now. Thank you!

Hello Racer families, this is Ms. Durko with some announcements and reminders. Please remember to have students in their classrooms each day by 8:55am. Also, please be very careful when using your cell phones during carpool in the mornings and afternoons as we need everyone to be alert and safe in the lines. Lastly, please do not park your car in the parking lot in the morning and let your students walk into school. Please join the carpool line, as our teachers need those parking places for their own cars. We appreciate your help with that. We are now in the 4th and final quarter for this school year. There is teaching going on all the way to the final dismissal bell each day. Please know that when your students are checked out early, they often miss important Reading and Math instruction. At this time of year it is crucial that students are here on time and stay through the entirety of the day. Please help us out by only checking your students out early for medical appointments or emergencies. Friday is Caps and PJ Bottoms for a Cause. It is also World Down Syndrome Day, and we would like everyone to "Rock their Crazy Socks" on that day. We hope everyone has a great evening and remember, once a Racer, always a Racer. Have a good night.

Kindergarten Readiness Night will be held on Thursday, April 24th from 5:30-6:30pm in our cafeteria. Tips for success, daily overview, screener process, and important dates will be shared at this meeting.

Racer families, there is an EMS vehicle in carpool… A parent is receiving treatment, all students are ok.
