October 2023 Parent Bulletin

Greetings, Lions Family, and Hello Fall!! 


Wow, it’s October already, and we are on a roll. This month, we have so many great things happening. Red Ribbon Week, Breast Cancer Awareness, Unity Day, School Lunch Hero, and SLEDs, to name a few. Please come out and join us. Please see the attached flyers below for all of the scheduled events for this month. 


The 1st nine weeks are ending this month, and scholars will receive their first report card. Scholars will also take their first District Benchmark Assessment in math, reading, science, and social studies. Please help us make sure that your scholar gets plenty of rest, eats a good breakfast, and arrives on time.  


We would also like to welcome our new PTC members. We at RSPA Humble are thankful for your dedication and service. The PTC has some great things in store this month to support our staff and scholars. Parents, please see the meeting dates and times below; we could always use more volunteers.  


Our Hispanic Heritage Celebration will be one to remember. We are celebrating Hispanic culture through food, music, and art. We will also have a live museum of Hispanic artists, scientists, and countries. Please join us in celebrating this historic time in Hispanic culture. 


The 21st Century Progam still has spots available if you need free after-school care until 6:00 PM; please see the information below on how to apply for the 21st Century after-school program. 


Parents, as we continue moving through the school year, we need your help with daily attendance, especially on Fridays. We need scholars at school every day and on time. Remember, 98 is Great!!



We also have noticed some behaviors are starting to rise; please speak with your scholar about displaying self-control, being a leader, and being respectful towards their peers and adults. We have a long year ahead and want to ensure the best learning environment and safety of our scholars and staff. The school-home connection works best when our scholars know there is a relationship between the two.


My door is always open. Please stop by and say Hello!


Every Child, Every Day, 100% of the Time!!

Dear Parents,


October is an exciting month at RSPA!


This month’s Character Trait is INTEGRITY. It means doing the right thing even when no one is watching. The Big Question scholars will need to think about is: ‘Why Is Having Integrity Important?’.


Not only will their teachers talk about this, but it would be great to have the conversation at home.


During this month’s installment of Coffee with the Counselor, we’ll cover cyberbullying and how parents can take control in ensuring their scholars have safe cell phone usage. We will discuss different parental controls and share resources to help parents manage scholar cell phone usage.


We will also celebrate Drug-Free Week this month. This year’s theme is

BE KIND TO YOUR MIND, LIVE DRUG-FREE. Red Ribbon Week will be celebrated as listed on the flyer below!
