To our incoming students...

Principal's Message:

Welcome to the 2023-2024 academic year at Spanger!

    We are thrilled to begin the school year and extend our warmest greetings to all our students and their families. Whether you are returning to us or are new to our school community, we are excited to have you as part of our family.     As we begin a new school year, I would like to reiterate the importance of communication. I encourage open lines of communication between families and the school. We welcome your feedback and suggestions and believe that by working together we can provide the best possible education for your child. I also encourage you to become active in one of the many volunteer opportunities we have around campus. Together we can make a difference.

    Additionally, to stay updated with school events, announcements, and activities for our school, RCSD, and community, please read the Spartan Spotlight and follow us on social media (Facebook and Instagram).     Thank you for entrusting us with the education and well-being of your child. We look forward to a successful and enriching academic year together.     If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.     In partnership,

Mr. K
