📝✨ Strong writers and confident speakers in the making!
At Tuesday's school board meeting, Ms. Gates and a group of talented fifth graders from Randolph Elementary School gave a fantastic instructional report on how our Roadrunners are developing and honing their writing skills. The best part? The students took center stage themselves, reading selections of their own original essays and poetry aloud for the board!
It’s inspiring to see our young learners share their voices with such pride and poise. Moments like these remind us how strong our school community is when we listen to, support, and celebrate our students together. 👏
Hoodies are multiplying, water bottles are living their best lives, and lunchboxes are wondering where their owners went!
Our Lost & Found is FULL of items looking for their forever homes.
🧥 Missing a hoodie?
🥤 Lost a water bottle?
🧦 Down to just ONE sock? (How does this even happen?! )
Now is the perfect time to come take a peek! Have your child check for any missing treasures before they become permanent members of our Lost & Found family.
Location: Roadrunner Cafeteria
Help us reunite these lonely belongings with their people!

🎶 Roadrunner pride was on full display at tonight’s School Board meeting! 🎶
Our talented 4th and 5th graders from Randolph Elementary took the stage to perform the "RES Roadrunner Song," guided by their wonderful teacher, Ms. Watts. It was such a special moment showcasing the creativity, teamwork, and spirit of our students. We love seeing our school family come together to celebrate our young stars! 🌟💚💛

🏠✨ Big traditions bringing our school family together!
Last month, Randolph Elementary kicked off the school year by sorting our kindergarteners and newest Roadrunners into their Houses! Whether they joined the Trail Runners, Sky Runners, Blaze Runners, or Wave Runners, every student now has a team to help them grow, belong, and celebrate positive behavior all year long.
The house system helps build lasting connections across grade levels and reinforces what makes our school community so special. ❤️

Thank you to the GHS Chick Fil A Leadership Academy students (and their teachers) for visiting RES this afternoon. Our kindergarten and first grade students truly enjoyed their time with "the big kids" and are very appreciative for the 3 books that they were each given! Thank you for supporting our Roadrunners and encouraging them to love reading!
