| A Message From Principal Cotton RHE School Family,
I hope everyone has a great weekend. No school on Monday, Jan. 18 due to MLK Holiday. We look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday, Jan. 19.
As we head back to school, please remember not to send your student to school if they're not feeling well or waiting on COVID-19 test results. We love them so much but want to ensure their safety as well as ensuring the safety of their classmates and our staff.
Love,
Mrs. Crenesha Cotton Principal

| Our Staff Magnificent Mustang is Ms. Rick! "While the kids are not allowed in the library, she runs around the school all day with her cart of books to make sure each child has a book to read, as well as pulling the holds for older kids that requested certain books. I’m very thankful for her making sure that my children and every child never loses the passion of reading and to me that is a Magnificent teacher."
Our librarian, Ms. Rick, is a #supeRHEro! Three cheers for Ms. Rick! |

Virtual Learning Support The Virtual Learning Support page is the go-to resource for students and parents. Whether you're getting started using a digital device or online application for the first time or need to learn more about how to use a resource, you'll find the support you need here. Our Quick Reference Guides (QRGs) were designed to give you clear, step-by-step directions for completing common tasks within various applications. In addition to our QRGs, you will find helpful videos that walk you through the applications used for virtual learning. On this page, we've compiled information and resources specifically for students and parents to help with common learning tools like Google Classroom, Google Meet, Seesaw, ClassLink, and much more. For students who have received a district-issued device, we have several resources available to help parents and students with technical issues. Our goal is to ensure that parents and students have the knowledge and technology skills needed for success during virtual learning. |
