Coyote Connection

Dear Families,

This week was filled with fun activities as students geared up for our Bubble Run on Thursday. In addition to pajama days, movies, and other fun events, we also enjoyed our first school-wide prize on Monday afternoon! Students got to enjoy an ice cream while watching six of our staff suit up in sumo suits and sumo wrestle. There was a lot of laughter and cheering throughout the entire game!

Our Bubble Run yesterday was so much fun! Although the weather was warm, students put forth their best effort during their assigned time. There was even a guest appearance from our beloved mascot, RC! As a school, we have raised over $63,000. I am so impressed with how hard this community has worked to raise money for our school. Donations will still be accepted through Sunday evening, and our final assembly awarding individual and class prizes will take place on Wednesday. Since we hit our school-wide goal, the students will also get me ready to go to Space!

A huge thank you to Jason and Karin Wright, our PTA members, and all the volunteers who helped make this event a huge success. We definitely couldn't have done it without you.

As a reminder, there is no school next week on Thursday and Friday due to Parent/Teacher conferences. If you haven't signed up for a slot yet, please reach out to your classroom teacher.

Principal

As we enter a new month, I want to remind all families about the importance of attendance. Every day builds the essential building blocks for future learning. Regular attendance helps students master early reading and math skills, establish healthy routines, and develop crucial social skills through daily interactions with peers and teachers. Missing school early on creates learning gaps that become harder to bridge later. When children show up every day, it gives them the stability, confidence, and momentum they need to thrive. This month, the class with the highest average daily attendance will receive a prize!

Great job Reidy Creek! We officially over-popped the PTA bucket and have over 200 members for our 2026-2027 school year! To celebrate, students get a take-home popcorn party. If your student was absent Friday 10/2, they can pick up a bag from the Front Office next week.

Our next PTA Association meeting is Tuesday, October 6th at 6:15 pm. The zoom link will be sent out next week.

Please mark your calendars for two exciting events happening this month!

• Our Boo Bash will be held on Friday, October 30th from 5 pm-7pm. This event will feature games, crafts, food, live music from DJ Grizz, a jump house, and, of course, candy. Thank you to all the parents who have volunteered to help at this event. We are still in need of a few more volunteers to run games during the event. If you are interested in helping, please fill out this volunteer form so we can finalize the schedule. Also, in order to make this event a success, we need lots of candy! If you are unable to volunteer your time, please consider donating a bag of candy for the games and activities. Please turn in all bags of candy to the front office.

• Save the Date for our school Halloween Parade! This event will be on Friday, October 30th, at 8:30. Students will have the opportunity to come to school in their costumes and parade around the blacktop with their class. Parents are welcome to join in on the fun. More information will be sent home in the next few weeks.

Our Fall Scholastic Book Fair is just around the corner, and you won't want to miss it!

You'll receive more information in the coming weeks, but here is an overview of the schedule. Most classes will be attending the book fair during their library time. Your classroom teacher will send out more information regarding the specific date and time.

All 2nd-grade students will have the opportunity to participate in universal screening in November. In addition, parents and teachers may recommend students not previously screened in grades 3 through 8 to be screened for GATE eligibility.

Parents can pick up the Parent Background and Input Form in the front office starting on October 5th and should return it to the school by Friday, October 30th.

The school team will review requests and determine which students will be eligible to be screened in November. For more information, please visit our district website or stop by the front office!

Hello Reidy Creek Families!

It was so great seeing so many of our Reidy Creek families on campus this week, from our first-grade Lunch & Learn to the Bubble Run!

As volunteer opportunities begin to pick up with events like FAVE, the Scholastic Book Fair, BOO Bash, and more, we want to remind all parents, guardians, volunteers, and other guest visitors to please wear your Visitor sticker VISIBLY at all times while on campus.

We love having our Reidy Creek families on campus to visit, volunteer, and be part of our school community! At the same time, it is important that all guests check-in properly and wear their Visitor sticker.
