***I appreciate everyone in the district having patience with the snow day on Monday. I typically don’t like to call school off during the morning hours, but the weather surprised us from the night before. I understand the hardship this causes with children, childcare, and outside work arrangements. Again, I appreciate your patience and understanding. Have a great week Russell!*** Each week I will highlight some of our opening day themes: #10--Your intentions and goals are clear. I know what I’m getting, and I’m never concerned about any ulterior motives. RIS Mission: Our mission is to inspire and empower all students to reach their maximum potential: one student, one lesson, one day at a time. Things I CAN Control…
Continue to focus on the RIS four core beliefs: It’s about Kids! —Accountability—Transparency—Communication. Positives across the district……….. Russell Primary School (From the desk of Mr. Cassity)

Russell Area Technology Center (From the desk of Mr. Trimble) This was a great week at the Russell Area Technology Center as we continue to see exciting activities throughout the building. Our 2nd period Introduction to Health Sciences students had the opportunity to collaborate with Ms. Del Valle’s AP Spanish students this week on a project as they discuss culturally competent care of patients, including the ideas of both culture and language. This is an awesome collaboration between these two programs and we really appreciate both of the teachers working so hard to plan this activity and the hard work the students have put forth in making it a success. We look forward to seeing more of this collaborative effort into next week as they continue to develop the project and discuss the content of this subject. Russell Preschool (From the desk of Mrs. Staton) Mrs. Moore's class has continued their study about puppies. They made a visit to Petland this week to look at the puppies and other animals. They were able to pet some puppies, see snakes, and look at fish. Mrs. Crump's class learned about snakes this week. They learned about different kinds of snakes and where to find them. They also made some snakes in their classroom using yarn and play dough. Mrs. McKee and Ms. Snyder's classes spent the week learning about bears. They made a cozy den for bears to sleep in and I even found some bear prints in the classroom! What’s happening at central office / district this week?
Have a Great week Russell!!!! Sean
