Bright Smiles & Big Numbers at RDES! 🦅🧮
Our Rosenwald Dunbar Elementary School first graders in Mrs. Bohnett's class are hard at work showing off their math skills!
This week, they played "Shake and Spill" to practice making different combinations of the number 10. There is nothing better than seeing the bright, joyful smiles on our Eagles' faces as they explore, learn, and grow together.
Way to go, little Eagles! Keep soaring high and working hard! 💙💛

All families are invited to complete the Educational Benefits Form located in their Infinite Campus Parent Portal. This form is used to determine if your family will receive free/reduced fees during the 26-27 school year. This benefits form needs to be completed every year after July 1st (unless your household receives SNAP, income based Medicaid, or your child is classified as Foster, Migrant, or Homeless). If you would like to complete a paper form instead of the digital version, please see the image for directions. The link to the Infinite Campus Parent Portal is https://jessamineky.infinitecampus.org/campus/portal/parents/jessamine.jsp.
We still have a significant number of families who need to complete registration for the 26-27 school year. Please remember that registration must be done every year.
