Hello Rainbow Creek Families!  
 
We want to send a special message of thanks to our School Council and Friends of Rainbow Falls Society for their incredible work and dedication. Their efforts in fundraising, organizing, and volunteering for hot lunch, as well as seeking out ways to support and improve learning at RCE, are truly appreciated. 
 
The funds raised through their hard work and dedication play a vital role in offsetting costs for parents, ensuring that our students have access to field trips, swimming lessons, special events, celebrations, and so much more. These opportunities and extras would not be possible without their support and commitment to enriching the educational experience for our students. 
 
Our next School Council meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, April 29 at 6:00 pm. Please consider joining us in person at the school or online in Zoom. All parents are welcome and encouraged to attend as more hands make lighter work and generate more opportunity for our students.  
Again, these contributions are making a lasting impact on our school, and we are incredibly grateful.  
 
E-Scooters and E-Bikes  
 
No E-scooters or E-bikes will be permitted in the building. If your child chooses to ride these to school, they need to park outside and lock them up at the bike rack. Please note, as a school, we are not liable for lost or stolen scooters and bikes. 
  
Late Student Sign-in 
We will now have late students sign themselves in on the iPads when they come into the office. This will be a bit of a learning curve for the students, but they seem to be catching on fairly quickly. Please remind your child to sign-in on the iPad or they may be marked absent which could result in the automated call home. Please be patient with all of us as this is something new for everyone. Don’t hesitate to call if you do receive a phone call and know that your student is here. 
 
Volunteers Needed! 
We have another large amount of sight words that we need cut apart, hole-punched and put onto rings. This is an at-home job.   
 
If you are able to help, you can drop by the office to grab a baggie full of supplies off the counter, or you can email rnapier@rockyview.ab.ca if you would like us to send some home with your child.   
 
Thank you so much!
