Random Acts of Kindness Week

We will be celebrating Random Acts of Kindness Week at PRE all next week!  Students are invited to wear their cutest "kindness tees" all week long.  Please ask your child to share each day what he/she did in honor of Random Acts of Kindness Week.  

District Holiday

All Richland Two schools and offices will be closed Monday, February 17, 2020, in honor of Presidents' Day.  We look forward to seeing all Explorers back at school safe and sound on Tuesday, February 18.  Enjoy the extended weekend!

Mrs. Self-Control

Please join us in congratulating Mrs. Courtney Smith for being chosen as the staff member demonstrating an overwhelming abundance of Self-Control throughout the month of January.  Mrs. Smith is one of our kindergarten Dual Language Immersion teachers and she was recently nominated and elected as Mrs. Self-Control!  Mrs. Smith sets a great example for the students with whom she works and her colleagues and we are so proud of her!  Way to go, Mrs. Smith!

Valentine's Day Reminders

Valentine's Day is almost upon us. Although this is an exciting time for most, please keep in mind that this is a regular school day of quality teaching and learning at PRE. As a result, there is no time designated for class parties or celebrations in honor of this holiday. Please refrain from sending cupcakes, ice cream, cookies or any other related items for your child's class.Teachers will, however, be happy to allow students to pass out treat bags and/or trade cards at the very end of the day. If you choose to prepare treat bags or Valentine's Day cards, be sure to include ALL students in your child's class or the treats/cards will be returned to you.

In order to maintain a structured school day with minimal distractions, please be aware  that the Administration or Front office personnel will not deliver gifts to students, including balloons, flowers, teddy bears, etc, on Valentine's Day, February 14th. Please do not bring or have these items delivered to school for your child.

Thank you for your cooperation.
