Volunteer Update
The district sent an email to all parents yesterday about a new policy in regards to volunteers. There are two categories of volunteers. Category I is for volunteers who come on campus for a one time event (i.e. class party, assemblies, book fair, school events, etc) and does not require fingerprinting. Category II is for volunteers who regularly help in the classroom, go on field trips, art docents, etc. Fingerprinting and TB clearance will be required for all Category II volunteers.
Fingerprinting and TB clearance will be required through RCSD even if you have been cleared at your job or other volunteer activities.
The new policy starts on December 1st so parents will need to be fingerprinted and TB test cleared by then if they want to regularly volunteer at Stoneridge or go on any field trip.
On November 2nd from 5:30-7:30 p.m. parents can come to our multi to get free fingerprinting and have their TB test clearance. If you can't make that night there are other days at other schools and the district office starting on Oct. 3rd. You can view dates for fingerprinting & TB tests and download the Volunteer forms at this link:
RCSD Volunteer Info
It is free right now from the district but will not be in the future. Also there is no reimbursement if you get it done somewhere else. Volunteer forms are available in the office. If you have any questions, please contact Diane at dianey@rcsdk8.org.
Thank you to all of our volunteers for your cooperation as we ensure that our children's safety remains our top priority.
Jog-A-Thon is on Friday!

Interesting Articles We Read this Week
"When we take away our child’s opportunity to solve problems, we also eliminate that process of growth. When we allow our kids to act for themselves (drawing up boundaries and giving guidance and love along the way) they will develop the confidence and compassion that they need to be successful adults. Success occurs as a culmination of emotional, problem-solving, and intellectual skills that are largely learned during childhood."
