Book Fair E-Wallet
  1. Visit BOOK FAIR WEBSITE and scroll down to "Create a New E-Wallet" and click "Get Started"
  2. Follow the prompts to load any amount onto your student's e-wallet account. Funds added to an e-wallet act just like a gift card, and can be spent during the school day at the book fair. 
  3. If you have funds leftover from a previous fair, they have automatically been converted to a digital Scholastic gift card. You can use those leftover funds to "pay" for a portion of your new e-wallet at checkout, or spent online anytime at Scholastic.com

Note: We also accept cash, credit cards, and ApplePay at the book fair. We do not accept bills larger than $20. Please reach out to Kelsey Emerson (kemerson531@gmail.com) with any questions!

Calling all volunteers! Join us in the library for our Spring Scholastic Book Fair, Monday May 5th through Thursday May 8th. 

We’ll need help setting up and taking down the fair after school on Monday and Thursday, as well as volunteers to work the fair during school hours on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Please note the late shopping hours on Wednesday night.

As a volunteer your duties may include: 

   - Organizing and restocking items for sale

   - Maintaining cleanliness of the fair

   - Assisting students with their book selections

   - Helping students count change and make payments

    - Cashiering (The Scholastic payment system is incredibly easy to use and we’ll provide all    training at the start of your volunteer shift!)

Please feel welcome to claim one, or as many shifts as you’d like. This is a really fun way to get to know RPE staff and see your children interact with their friends. 

Questions? Please reach out to Kelsey Emerson at kemerson531@gmail.com

5th Grade End-of-Year Party!!!

Hello 5th Grade Families!

We are excited to share some details about the two 5th Grade End-of-Year Events, both held on the last day of school, Friday, May 23rd. 

First, we have the End-of-Year Party for 5th Graders at Sun Tree Park.  There will be lots of different activities and fun things for our 5th graders, all provided by the PTA. This is during the school day and your teacher will be emailing details such as dismissal procedures and permission forms in the coming weeks, be on the lookout! 

Second, following the Sun Tree Park party, all fifth grade students are invited to the 5th Grade Pool Party at River Place Country Club. We are so grateful and excited that PTA will be covering this portion of the 5th grade celebration as well this year, thank you PTA! 

To attend, each family must RSVP and fill out this form: FILL OUT THIS FORM

Within the form you will find a waiver for the event. Parents /Legal guardians are responsible for transportation to and from the pool party. Many students plan to walk from Sun Tree Park to the pool.  

Please note:  

You must fill out the Google Form in order to attend the Swim Party.  

We look forward to celebrating this special occasion with our 5th grade students!

Please reach out if you have questions!
