RDES would love to thank Justin's Place for hosting our staff as part of our back-to-school training! Our staff had a great time interacting with the staff of Justin's Place, the animals, and learning more about trauma-informed care. We are grateful for the opportunity to start the year this way!

It is hard to believe that there are only three weeks remaining, and much focus has shifted to the 2024-2025 school year. During the placement process, which has recently been revised by SBDM, we like to include input from all stakeholders including parents and guardians. If you would like to complete the Parent/Guardians Input Form, you can do so at the link in this message. Your input can help with the placement process and also help new teachers have a better understanding of their incoming students. Please note, that per our Placement Policy, we do not accept parent/guardian requests for specific teachers. Next year is going to be amazing! Input forms will be accepted until May 3rd.
