Meetings Weather – If it is raining and we need cancel RDR due to weather, an email will go out to parents AND students will call home to make sure parents are aware. Students need to dress appropriately for the weather, if its too cold, we will run inside the gym. Water – please send a water bottle to school with your child that can be refilled throughout the day. It is VERY important that your child wears his/her RDR shirt on RDR days. This is for their safety and protection while we run(we will be ordering these soon) We will send the RDR list to the office so they are aware of your child’s transportation change.
