Spartan Spotlight #20

Quote of the Week:

"You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough."

-Mae West



Principal's Message:

Happy Friday!

I hope to see everyone tonight at our second movie night of the year; it is sure to be fun for the whole family. Speaking of fun, there are a lot of activities planned for the next month that you will not want to miss from a mouse visiting campus to a dance in the MPR.

Additionally, the 100th day of school is on Monday! The 100th day of School is an exciting milestone for every primary elementary class. It signifies that over half of the year is completed and to reflect on some of the major accomplishments that have been achieved in the school year especially when it comes to counting and math. It is always a lot of fun!

In partnership,


Mr. K

Registration Time! 

Registration for our 2023-24 school year opened on Monday, January 23, 2023. This registration will be for all new and returning students, including those seeking an inter or intra-district transfer.

Our priority registration window will be available until February 17, 2023, for those seeking an inter or intra-district transfer. An email from the district with a link to online registration was sent to families on January 20, 2023.

 

Please note the following schools have been closed to transfers for the 2023-24 school year due to growth, projected growth, and overflow challenges as new homes are occupied.

  • Chilton Middle School
  • Junction Elementary
  • Orchard Ranch Elementary
  • Riego Creek Elementary
  • Fiddyment Farm Elementary
  • Diamond Creek Elementary
  • Blue Oaks Elemenatary

No new intradistrict or interdistrict transfers will be accepted in the schools listed above. Siblings of students currently attending in 2022-23 and will continue to attend one of the above schools during the 2023-24 school year may request a transfer during the priority window and will be considered on a space-available basis.

FOR CURRENT 5TH-GRADE STUDENTS ONLY - Placement of 6th-grade students is based on your home address and not the school your student is currently attending. Please use the following link to access My School Location and identify your student's assigned Middle School for the upcoming 2023-2024 school year.

As a reminder, all students, even those returning to their same school, MUST complete the online registration process. Your attention to this is greatly appreciated and helps RCSD know how to best prepare to meet and accommodate all our students' needs.

 

  • As you know, attending school every day and on time is critical for student success. Mrs. Strong and I work closely to review attendance on a weekly basis. If you receive an attendance letter and have any questions, please reach out to me and I am happy to meet with you to address any questions you may have.  





Parents/guardians looking to take their student(s) out on short-term independent study for personal family business (not quarantined) must complete the online form. Paper forms will no longer be available at the office. As a reminder, students may use short-term independent study when they will be gone for a planned absence of a minimum of three (3) days and a maximum of 14 days. If a student takes multiple independent studies, they are limited to a combined total of 14 days each school year. Parents requesting short-term independent study will still need to make their request with at least 5 days’ notice before taking their student(s) out of school to ensure proper notification to their teacher(s) and providing of schoolwork.

Thank you.



The Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) framework we 
emphasize at Spanger highlights the importance of establishing clear expectations 
at school. 

Spanger has three general expectations for students:
 Be safe, be respectful, and be responsible. 

In every area of the school, students are taught more specific rules and 
expectations for being safe, respectful, and responsible.  

Below are our cafeteria expectations:


PBIS

Safe

Be 

Respectful
