Kindergarten and 1st grade Supply Donation

For the 2012 - 2013 school year, both the kindergarten and 1st grade teachers request a $50 supply donation.  However, if you prefer to purchase your own supplies, a supply list can be provided through the school.

Message from the Principal

May 25, 2012
Dear Parents,
We have had a wonderful school year and are already making plans for next fall. I’d like to share a few exciting things happening at R. L. Young next year.

·         Our school system will be participating in the SACS Accreditation Process for the renewal of our certification. If you have not taken the parent survey, we would really appreciate your input. Just visit this link:
You can also access this link by visiting the school blog and click on the left hand side.
·         Supply lists are included in the report cards on the back of this letter, but can also be accessed on the internet later this summer. Just look on the school blog: http://www.rlyoung.blogspot.com/. While you are logged on, check out the posts about coming attractions, announcements, and other information for parents. You will hear it FIRST on the blog. You can also become a member of the R. L. Young Facebook page entitled “HOW MANY PEOPLE LOVE RLYOUNG”.
·         Class rolls will be posted by August 6th on the front doors of the main building. No requests or homeroom changes will be made. We are blessed with an excellent, experienced faculty and your child will be well served no matter what teacher they are assigned. You child’s new teacher will either call or mail you an invitation to attend our annual MEET and GREET.
·         R. L. Young’s MEET & GREET will be held on Thursday, August 16th. Each grade level will have a special meeting time.  Prior to the grade level meetings, the principal will be hosting a gathering to share Title I information from 2:30 to 3:00 p.m. Door prizes will be available.
·         During our MEET AND GREET, plan to join our very active PTO for only $5 per family. While you are joining PTO in the lunchroom, stop by to pay lunch money so that your child will be ready to go! The new school t-shirt orders will be available.

The faculty, staff, and I encourage you to let your child to take advantage of FREE access to STUDY ISLAND, a website which covers your child’s current grade reading and math skills. It’s learning and fun all rolled into one!  Just visit www.studyisland.com and use the same password and login from this school year. If your child is unable to remember their password, please call the school and we can help.
