RES Parent Survey

Parents, we want to hear from you!

Schools across the state are participating in a new parent engagement survey. This survey gives you the chance to share your input on several topics to help measure how our schools are doing in meeting your needs.

The survey only takes a few minutes and your responses are anonymous, but they will be critical in helping us identify opportunities to maximize satisfaction, engagement, and communication.

Make your voice heard at https://eprovesurveys.advanc-ed.org/surveys/#/action/184180/p31609

You only have until April 1 to respond, so don’t wait!

Positive Strep

Strep Letter 2_14_22

February 14, 2022

Dear Parents, Staff, and Community Members:

We have recently been notified that one or more students and/or staff members in Riggins Elementary have tested positive for Strep Throat. We will continue to monitor the health of our students, staff, and visitors. The safety and health of our students and staff are the priority. 

Strep throat is a bacterial infection that can make your throat feel sore and scratchy. Strep throat accounts for only a small portion of sore throats. If untreated, strep throat can cause complications, such as kidney inflammation or rheumatic fever. Rheumatic fever can lead to painful and inflamed joints, a specific type of rash, or heart valve damage.

Strep throat is most common in children, but it affects people of all ages. If you or your child has signs or symptoms of strep throat, see your doctor for prompt testing and treatment.

Signs and symptoms of strep throat can include:

  • Throat pain that usually comes on quickly
  • Painful swallowing
  • Red and swollen tonsils, sometimes with white patches or streaks of pus
  • Tiny red spots on the area at the back of the roof of the mouth (soft or hard palate)
  • Swollen, tender lymph nodes in your neck
  • Fever
  • Headache
  • Rash
  • Nausea or vomiting, especially in younger children
  • Body aches

Sincerely,

Covid Letter

By

January 12, 2022,

Dear Parents, Staff, and Community Members:

We have recently been notified that a student at the jr/sr high school has tested positive for COVID-19. While we must protect the privacy of the individual involved, we believe it is best to communicate transparently with you so you can make well-informed decisions for your family.  The person has been in contact with students and staff at both the elementary school and the secondary school.

We have tests available for students and staff members. If you feel your student may have COVID-19 and would like to have them tested, you can pick up a test at either school.

The test will be documented as delivered to the person who will be tested (and parent). Teachers and parents will be responsible for following directions and taking the test with fidelity with the guidance of the Vault representative. All test results will need to be reported to the school.

Please contact Trish Simonson (RES principal) or myself for more information.

Sincerely,

Kyle Ewing
