Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving! We are off school all next week and the school office is closed. School starts again on November 30th.

No school tomorrow for Veteran’s Day. Enjoy your day and see you on Thursday!

Parents, please make your choice for in-person/ concurrent (2 days a week in person, 3 days a week distance learning) or full distance learning (5 days a week at home). This starts in January but we need to know your choice now so we can plan for students returning to campus. You can make the selection yourself in ParentVue (Student Info, Edit Information, scroll to the bottom to find Student Placement, make your selection, Save Changes). You can also call the office (916) 422-3232, or email Mrs. Rambo at [email protected] and we will input your selection!

Here is a local food drive-thru event available on Oct. 31. See flyer to register by Oct. 25 if you're interested!

If your student is in their last week of Social Science (history), and you missed the drop off times for the textbook, please return it to the front office. We also need current shot records for 93 more students! If you’re one of them, please bring in your completed shot records as soon as possible! Thank you!

Remember Mondays have a different schedule for distance learning. First period starts at 9:10. See you then!

If you received a lot of notifications for Parent Vue and StudentVUE overnight, you’re not alone. Tech Services realized the notifications hadn’t been going out for awhile. They enabled it now but your phone has to catch up. You probably already saw the emails on your own. It should work normally going forward.

Great first day of school overall! Our Roadrunners showed incredible resilience today as they worked through password resets and Zoom login difficulties. If you still need help in the morning, do not hesitate to reach out! Phones were nonstop this morning. The best bet is email for a faster connection. [email protected]. Day 2 tomorrow! Let’s rise up and shine Roadrunners!

After taking a few days to process the magnitude of the honor, James Rutter Middle School's Lynda Bettencourt said, I am overwhelmed with joy and appreciation ...to join the ranks as a Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE) Teacher of the Year. I continue to feel immeasurable gratitude toward the many educators and students throughout my life who influenced my teaching career. http://blogs.egusd.net//elk-grove-unified-congratulates-l/
