Visitor Entrance Instructions
If you visit the school during the school day please use one of the two entrance doors under the large, white portico on the North side of the building. The far East door under the portico will lead to stairs. Signage will lead you to the 2nd floor and you will come out directly in front of the school office. The West door under the portico leads to an elevator, which you will take to the 2nd floor. This will also lead you to the school office. Both doors have a keypad and will open with your parent/student code.
PLEASE NOTE: On October 23rd we will also have no school. This day is set aside for staff training and development. This is a change from the originally published schedule.
A Few Logistics
1. Smart Watches – Parents, please partner with us and talk to your students about our smart watch policy. We ask that all watches be left home during school days. We want to use the same policy for smart watches as we do with cell phones. If your student has a watch that connects with his/her phone and internet services, please have your student leave it at home. Thank you for your partnership with this Rhetoric norm. We love watching students commune together with intentionality during the school day and believe our device policies help promote this connective culture.
2. October 22nd Rhetoric Halloween Event – Rhetoric students may attend school wearing a costume. This is such a fun Rhetoric tradition, loved by staff and students alike! Parents, you are welcome to contribute by donating pastries or candy. Please let Mrs. Rankin know via email if you plan to send a treat for our students. I supply students with coffee in the morning as well. Students are expected to wear clothing that aligns with uniform modesty guidelines. Specific are below to help eliminate confusion as students plan their costumes.
