Good evening Racer families, this is Ms. Durko with some announcements and reminders for the week.
We are thrilled to report that carpool is wrapping up much faster in the afternoons. We would like to request that parents picking their students up in carpool arrive on campus no later than 4:00. We have had many students that have had to wait in the office for parents to arrive, and we would love to get everyone loaded up safely as close to 4:15 as possible each day. Thank you for your cooperation with this.

Good evening parents, this is Ms. Durko with some reminders.
If you are a parent of a walker, we have been contacted by both River Dell Townes and also The Crossings neighborhoods. They have asked us to remind all RDE families to not park on their parking pads or cross through their personal yards when coming to pick up or drop off your children at RDE. We appreciate your cooperation with this.
Tomorrow night, September 17th, is RDE Student Success Night. We encourage all 1st-5th grade parents to attend this important event where you will be presented lots of information from teachers to help you help your children be successful. Families with last names beginning with the letters A-L should attend the session that is from 5:00-6:00, and families with last names beginning with the letters M-Z should attend the session that is from 6:30-7:30. This is not a floating event. 1st-5th grade teachers will have detailed presentations to share. Childcare will be provided for any RDE students.
We hope everyone has a safe night and remember, once a Racer, always a Racer.
Based on the current weather forecast, Johnston County Public Schools will continue normal operations on Monday, September 16, 2024. However, all after-school and evening campus activities and events have been canceled due to the forecast.
We understand that this decision will inconvenience many after-school events, however, student and staff safety is our primary concern.
It is our district’s goal to make our school communities as prepared as possible for emergency situations, including inclement weather. This decision has been made out of an abundance of caution, per the guidance of local and state emergency service officials.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we navigate this storm event. We encourage everyone to follow the guidance of local weather officials, and have a safe evening!
