Emergency Cards: In the event of an emergency, every attempt will be made to contact parents if a student requires immediate medical attention. If a parent cannot be reached during an emergency, the emergency phone number on file in the school office will be contacted. It is very important that every student have an updated list of emergency contacts on file with the school. If there is a change in address, telephone, or emergency contact information, please notify the school immediately.
Class Field trips: Throughout the year, students occasionally leave school to participate in classroom field trips. All students who have completed all assignments and have followed the behavior guidelines set forth by the school staff are eligible to attend school field trips. For proper student preparation and safety, students who qualify to participate in a field trip, need to have all field trip materials (money, permission slip, etc…) turned into his/her teacher on the due date given by teacher. All standard rules of conduct and procedures will be observed and enforced on field trips. Parents who are willing to chaperone the field trip and who are driving their own vehicle, may not check out siblings from school. This is an unexcused absence and will not be cleared by the office.
Dances: School dances are intended for students who attend RPS only. No other students from any other school may be in attendance. Dances are chaperoned by staff members of RPS only.

Parent/Teacher Conferences and Report Cards: During the school year, the school will keep parents informed about student progress.
