Hello Rainbow Creek Families!
As we head into spring break, we want to take a moment to thank our students for striving to always do their best and making our school such an amazing place to work and learn in. Thank you to our parents/guardians for your continued support and partnership, and a very heartfelt thank you to our dedicated and committed staff. It’s been a busy and productive year to date, and we are so proud of the growth we've seen across our learning community.
Whether you're traveling or enjoying time at home over the break, we hope you enjoy a safe, restful, rejuvenating and well-deserved break. In the words of one of our students, “I can’t wait to play with my friends, ride my bike, and play games.” That sounds like a great plan!
We look forward to welcoming everyone back with renewed energy as we head into the final stretch of the school year together. The school will re-open on Monday, April 28th.
Portable Construction - Grade 5 Entrance/Exit Doors – Over the break, construction preparation will begin for the addition of our four new portables. Students and staff will no longer be able to access the grade 5 doors. The entrance/exit doors for all grade 5 students will be moved to the first set of doors inside the U. The bike racks will also be re-located to where the grade 6 racks are located so students can access them away from the fenced in construction area.
OurSchool Parent Survey - Please keep an eye out in the coming weeks for more information regarding the OurSchool Parent survey. The data collected from this survey drives the creation of school goals and directly impacts how we operate in the school day to day.
