Coyote Connection

Dear Families,

It was another busy and exciting week at Reidy Creek as we celebrated Red Ribbon Week and got into the Halloween spirit! Throughout the week, classes teamed up with their buddy classes for activities focused on making healthy choices, while our spirit days brought plenty of fun and school spirit to campus. On Wednesday, our top 200 earners from the Bubble Run also enjoyed a special treat from Kona Ice! Take a look at some of the highlights from our week below.

This morning, we wrapped up the week with our annual Halloween Parade on the blacktop. It was such a joy to see our TK–5th grade students cheer one another on as they paraded in their costumes. Thank you to all the families who came out to join the fun! We are so thankful that the rain held out and we were able to hold our parade.

We are looking forward to seeing many of you at our Boo Bash at 5pm! While we are hoping the evening stays clear, this event will happen rain or shine. The blacktop will be open, but parking is limited, so please consider parking on the street and walking in.

Have a great weekend,
Dr. Megan Loh
Principal

Student safety is one of our top priorities at Reidy Creek, and we need your help to keep dismissal safe and running smoothly by remembering the following:

*Drive slowly and cautiously through both the bus loop and parking lot.
*Follow all directions from staff members assisting with dismissal.
*Help keep traffic moving by avoiding stopping to talk with staff members.
*If you need to speak with a staff member, please pull all the way forward so other vehicles can continue moving.
*If picking up your child on an e-bike, please remain in the designated traffic lane and do not pass other vehicles. All traffic rules must be followed.

Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and partnership in keeping all of our Coyotes safe!

In October, our average daily attendance was 94.91%! We were so close to maintaining our 95% goal. Third grade had the highest attendance at 96.1%. The classes with the highest attendance averages during the month of October will be given an extra recess in the next few weeks.

**Our team will continue reaching out to families with excessive absences to see how we can help support consistent attendance. Last year, our attendance dropped significantly during November and December, so please be mindful when planning trips or other unexcused absences during these months. If your child will be absent for an excused reason, please call the attendance line to let us know. This is very important for our attendance records.

We are coming to the end of the first session of EXPLORE classes. Over the last few weeks, we've had an increase in the number of students who are getting picked up late. Please ensure that students are picked up promptly at the end of class.

Hello Reidy Creek Families!

Field Trip Chaperone Reminders:
As field trips start to ramp up, please keep in mind that EUSD has changed their Volunteer policies this school year and any parent/ guardian wanting to attend a field trip as a chaperone will need to be cleared as a Level 1 volunteer, which requires providing negative TB test results (dated within the last 60 days). All updated information can be found on our District website (opens in a new tab), but as always if you have any questions please call the school and ask for Yesenia Martinez.
