Below are a few important announcements about the upcoming week of September 27 through October 1.

We are on minimum day all week. Kindergarten dismissal is at 12:20 daily, and dismissal for grades 1-6 is 12:30pm. Parent conferences will take place via Zoom or on campus, depending on the arrangements you have made with your child’s teacher. Please remember that parents and staff are required to wear masks during in-person conferences. 

Because of parent conferences, there will be no after-school clubs or activities during the week.

Many of you have asked about University shirts. There have been some shipping delays for certain classes, but we hope to distribute University shirts by next Friday, October 1. If your child does not receive their shirt by next Friday, please check the PEP Club website for shipping updates. 

I know that our front parking lot is a mess during student pickup. Please remember that there is only one lane coming in to the school and park parking lot. The other lane is an out lane. Trying to use that lane to come into our parking lot can cost you a ticket, or even cause a car accident. Every day we clear our parking lot within 20 minutes, so please be patient, get in line, and try to be generous to let in cars that are turning left off of San Antonio. 

Looking ahead, the Rhodes Book Fair is scheduled for the week of October 4. Each class will have scheduled times to visit the Book Fair, and they will have opportunities during their recess and lunch as well. 

I look forward to seeing each of you next week!  At Rhodes we are committed to children, committed to community and committed to excellence. Have a wonderful evening!
