Good evening everyone, 

I have sent the Friday Folders home tonight.  I'd like to encourage everyone to take a look at the work that is in your child's folder, for it will give you an idea of that which we have been working on in class, as well as their understanding of the concepts.  Students are asked to have their parents sign the sheet stapled on the inside of the folder to show that they have seen the work.  The folders are due back on Monday, along with the work contained in them so that students can put the work in the appropriate folders.

Just a reminder that tomorrow is a PA Day.  

Have a great weekend!

Here is tonight's homework.  Please notice that there are items which are due next week.  Some students have displayed difficulty budgeting their time in order to get these assignments completed.  Discussing the importance of time management in this way would be greatly appreciated.

Hello all!

Here at Rick Hansen we are attempting to make choices which will have a positive impact on the environment.  One of these ways is by creating a school email version of the school newsletter, rather then sending out paper versions.  We would appreciate it if you could please go to the link below and sign up for our newsletter.  The newsletter helps keep our school community up to date with all that is going on here at RHPS.

Good evening everyone,

I have let the students know of the following change, but wanted to ensure that I have informed parents as well.  The rough draft for the "Trustworthy Article" is no longer due tomorrow.  I am pushing it back until Monday so that they have some extra time (including the extended weekend) to work on it.  Parents can support students by ensuring that they have completed the rough draft as per the outline/organizer they created, as well as to ensure that they have sufficient research.  With this assignment students have been assigned to include names of important people and places which relate to their topic so that their article is trustworthy.  More information on this assignment can be found in the rubric that students were given when we started the assignment.

Here is tonight's homework.


Grade 5


Health - Case study (one question)

Literacy - Read 30 minutes, Rough draft due Monday


Grade 6



Health - Case study (one question)

Literacy - Read 30 minutes, Rough draft due Monday

Social Studies - Complete package of questions on Vikings


Have a great night!
