Reach for the Stars Program Update

The Mandatory Parent and Student Orientations last week were a great success. Thank you to all who were able to attend.

It was mandatory to attend one of the orientations to be eligible to enroll your student in the Reach for the Stars Program. The RSP staff is currently going through all of the applications and placing the students into clubs. As I mentioned during the orientations, we have more students than spots available right now. However, I am trying to hire and arrange for more staff to teach clubs so that we can take more students. Letters will be sent home on Thursday, August 18th through your child's day time classroom teacher informing you of the program start date and your child's status in RSP. Some students may not be able to start the first two weeks until I have enough staff to provide quality services for all students.

Please be patient as we work through this process. Our goal is to provide the best possible program for all of our students.

I am looking forward to a great year!

Sincerely,

Karen Scarborough
Program Director
