December 3rd Jason Lee PTA Evening
- 6:00-6:30 - Dr. Schulte will be available for a Q&A session with parents
- 6:30-7:00 - Dr. Schulte will attend a portion of the PTA meeting

PTA has partnered with all of the other elementary schools in the district to collect used shoes (any size and condition) to support RHS in their goal to raise 40,000 pairs of shoes for the "Shoes for Love" campaign. There is a $500 bonus for the top elementary school in the RSD in which the PTA plans to fund our outdoor classroom. To increase the awareness and motivation within our school, our student council has created posters and come up with incentives to shoot for the $500 prize (and of course, support the cause).

The Shoe Drive will run from December 2-13
* The shoes will be stored in classrooms and counted and collected on December 13th
* The winning class in each grade level will receive 10 minutes of extra recess
* The top class in the school will receive an Ice Cream Party

If you would like to view a YouTube video explaining the "Shoes for Love" campaign or have questions, you may email Mr. Neill at brian.neill@rsd.edu.

Parents, staff and students wishing to receive Richland School District weather closure/delay announcements via email, text message, or push notification can sign up by going to: http://flashalert.net/news.html?id=1845 (if you already have an active account, you do not need to sign up again, but you do need to log in to your account once a year to keep it active).

When you get to that page, start the process by entering your email address and setting a password. Once the account is established, you may add one or two additional email or cell text addresses. Each new entry will require you to launch a test message to that address which will contain a two-letter code which must be entered back onto your account page to ensure that the address(es) is valid, or by clicking the link in the message.

Bear in my mind that the cell phone companies get backlogged on weather mornings as they try to keep up with the text messages, so it is recommended that you not rely entirely on text messages. We urge you to download the new, free app for iOS and Android called FlashAlert Messenger. It uses push notification to send messages directly to your phone, bypassing the cell companies' text message channel. Search for FlashAlert Messenger at the iTunes App Store (iOS) or at Google Play (Android).
