RULH Elementary is off to a fantastic start to the 2017-2018 school year. Our custodians have been working all summer and did an outstanding job with getting our building ready for Open House. They were able to touch up on paint in different areas as well as putting a fresh coat of wax on the floors and stairwells.

Open House was on the evening of August 14 and, by all accounts, was a rousing success. We had 14 vendors on hand in the gym who were handing out school supplies. Outside we had a KONA ice truck selling slushies. We also had representatives from the transportation and food service departments answering questions for parents and assisting in the creation of online accounts. We had high turnouts for every grade level and all stakeholders seemed pleased with the evening.

Our opening day with students went smoothly. We were able to get students to class in a timely fashion. Parents were able to sign-in and assist their children in dropping off school supplies. We already had teachers teaching procedures and expectations in different areas of the building to support our PBIS program. Lunches seemed to run smoothly due to hard work by our kitchen staff. Our classified and certified staff were working together to smooth out scheduling issues. Again, all stakeholders seemed pleased with our opening.

As of today we are up to 43 kindergartners, an improvement in enrollment of approximately 20% in the past month. Kindergarten had orientation meetings with parents on Wednesday, August 16. Girls will attended their first day on Thursday, August 17 and boys attended their first day on Friday, August 18. All kindergarten students attended their first day together on Tuesday, August 22.

We are looking forward to a great year of learning at RULH Elementary
