Weekly News and Important Dates

PTA:  I hope you and your family will join us for the PTA carnival this Friday (9-12-14) evening from 5:00-8:00 p.m. This is a great opportunity to have fun with your child AND support PTA.  See you there!

Richardson Grade Level T-Shirts:  Be sure to check your child's backpack on Monday for a Richardson grade level t-shirt order form. We are very excited to start a new tradition here at RHE!  Each child will have the opportunity to purchase a grade level t-shirt to wear in our upcoming grade level pictures, on field trips, and for special spirit days.  All order forms will be due on Friday, September 19.  We will only be placing one order so make sure to get your order form in!

Car Rider Line:  We need your help!  If you drop off or pick up your child, you know that our car rider line can get quite long.  In order to keep cars and buses from waiting on Blackwell, we need to keep our car line moving.
Here's how you can help:

  • When waiting in line, please pull up close to the car in front of you so we can fit more cars in the line.
  • Please have your child ready to get out when you pull up to the building.  
  • When your child is getting in/out of the car, please do not get out of the car.  We have staff who can assist your child.  Feel free to motion for one of us to come to your car if you need assistance.  
  • In the morning, please drop your child off once your car reaches the straight edge of the sidewalk.  This will allow for multiple children to get out at that same time and move the line along quickly.  
  • Children need to exit the car using the door closest the building.  
Thank you so much for your help with this matter!  

Richardson Forms and Flyers:  Please visit our website to view/print any important flyers or forms. Our site is updated frequently so please check often.
