RDLS families,
We are so grateful for your partnership in your child's education. Thank you for your participation in our annual survey. The results truly help us reflect and improve our school.
I am proud of the strength of the survey results. It is clear that families value our school and are pleased with their experience at RDLS. When reviewing the written comments and the survey results, our team brainstormed a few areas of focus as we move into next school year:
- Continue consistent communication home to families at the classroom and school level: field trips, volunteer opportunities and topics being covered in class
- Support families in transition to Middle School and eventual graduation from RPS
- Continue to develop supports for students, academic and social-emotional
We are open to continual reflection and improvement and your feedback is an essential part of that process. Please do not hesitate to reach out to our team if you would like to provide additional feedback.
Sincerely,
Matthew Arnold, Principal
