Hello Hopper Families!
We want to send a warm welcome to all new families and a welcome back to existing families! We are so excited for this school year! We can't believe it got here so quickly! Please make sure to check the green folder on a daily basis as it will contain important information. Check out all the first day papers, especially if you are new to the school. Lots of info about setting up a Sapphire account, dismissals, absences, etc. Also included is a calendar of all the awesome PTO events we have for the school year! We will be holding PTO meetings once a month, alternating between 9:30 am in person at RES (can do virtually) and 7pm via Zoom. We sure hope you can make one of these times work! Our first meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 3rd, at 9:30am, here at RES. There are still some events in need of a chairperson for this school year. If you are interested in hearing more, please attend the meeting or reach out to Lauren Abel (Laurenabel82@gmail.com) for more information.
Our first week of school will be a short one due to Labor Day Weekend. There will be NO SCHOOL on Friday, August 290th and Monday, September 1st.. Enjoy the long weekend!
STUDENT DIRECTORY: Join the RES 2025 - 2026 Directory! We are bringing back the school directory once again this school year. This is a great way for families to be able to connect for meet ups, playdates, and party invites. Using the link below, add your information (name, phone number, and email) so other families can find you. Only those families who choose to participate will be given access to the directory.. Flyer is attached is you need the QR code.
