FRAUC (Families of RAUC) Meeting THIS Thursday & Staff Appreciation Days
 A special shout-out to FRAUC for organizing a wonderful staff appreciation day, the first of two, this past Friday! We felt the love- thank you all for your kind words & encouragement! The second staff appreciation event will be held on Wednesday, December 22.
Sign up here to contribute baked goods, thank-you cards, or money to cover food! Or you can just drop your treats off at the school the day before.
FRAUC will also be hosting their monthly meeting THIS Thursday, December 16 at 8AM on Zoom. The link to join the meeting will be sent tomorrow. All are welcome! Meeting topics:
- Process for staff applying for grants from FRAUC for activities and supplies
- Funding projects for pandemic times
- Year-end fundraising appeal email
- FRAUC leadership for the future
Please--send your student to school with a snack if you are able.
We are so grateful for the donations to our RAUC Snack Pantry. They have enabled us to have a snack time and know that everyone will be able to have something to eat, regardless of their situation.
We also run out of snacks very quickly because few students are bringing any on their own. Now that each grade is regularly having snack time, if your family is able to send your student to school with a snack, that will ensure our donation supply lasts longer for those who are not as able to provide a daily snack.
Reminder: COVID-19 Travel Policies
Making travel plans for winter break? Please make sure to check the recently updated district COVID-19 safety guidelines below for domestic and international travel. Note that if your child is not vaccinated and travels internationally, they must quarantine for 7-10 days depending on testing before returning to school.
