SUMMER READING INCENTIVE!!!!
The Rutland School wants to encourage all students to READ, READ, READ this summer!! We will again be doing an elementary back to school incentive for students who set (and meet) some summer reading goals. The AR goals and expectations are - Goals: Students Entering grades 1-2 (20 points), Students Entering grades 3-5 (12 points)
** Students MUST read books at their level to qualify! (Last year’s Kindergarten students may be read to). Since 3rd-5th graders read chapter books (which take longer), their points are lower.
If you need to know if a book is an AR book or not, you can look on this site. https://www.arbookfind.com/
Test Taking Site: https://global-zone51.renaissance-go.com/welcomeportal/314950
***Additionally, we encourage you to visit your local library for additional reading programs and to access books. Or, if you'd like, Ms. Krogman has offered to open her personal classroom library to check out books throughout the summer. She plans to be at school on Tuesdays from 10-12 and Thursdays from 3-5. I would encourage you to email her, Casey.krogman@k12.sd.us, to let her know that you might be coming by.
If you are having any troubles with AR, please contact Mrs. Merager. jill.Merager@k12.sd.us
Thank you and HAPPY READING!

Good evening. With graduation at 2:00pm, the band will be playing for the ceremony. If you could please have the band students at the school at 1:15 please to warm up and be ready to go. Thank you!
Rutland’s graduation ceremonies WILL be taking place tomorrow at 2:00PM in the Rutland Gym. We hope to see you there!!
Otertail power doesn’t have anything definitive about having power restored to the area. We’re kind of in a holding pattern at the moment. I’ll do my best to update everyone as I’m able.
L
Graduation - right now no definitive plans are finalized but hope to have a decision made here in the next couple of hours. I’ll be in touch then. Thank you!
The Rutland School will be closed tomorrow due to the extensive storm damage from earlier this evening. I’m so very sorry see and hear about all of the damage but truly hope everyone is safe…as I know more information I will do my best to communicate it out. I know that school is maybe the last thing on peoples’ minds at the moment (which I completely understand), but I’ll continue to send updates as I have them. Thank you and stay safe!!
