Attendance Matters: A Reminder from Reutter School
Dear Caroline L. Reutter School Families,
As we settle into the rhythm of the school year, I want to thank you for your ongoing partnership in supporting your child’s educational journey.
I would like to take a quick moment to share a gentle reminder about the vital role daily school attendance plays in your child’s success. Consistent attendance helps students build strong academic foundations, foster meaningful friendships, and develop routines that support their overall growth and confidence. Every day of learning and connection counts!
I understand that illnesses and family emergencies happen. However, whenever possible, maintaining a regular schedule and prioritizing daily attendance makes a tremendous difference in keeping your student engaged and on track.
If your family is facing challenges or barriers that make getting to school difficult, please do not hesitate to reach out to our main office. We are here to partner with you and provide support however we can.
Thank you for your continued dedication to keeping our Reutter Rams present, engaged, and learning every day!
Sincerely,
Mr. Peters
Principal

Sixth-grade math students in Mrs. Pizzo and Mrs. Busler’s classes spent time this week reviewing how to complete multi-digit division using the standard algorithm and practiced converting fractions into decimals.




Our Week at Reutter School - https://app.smore.com/n/v4d1j
On Tuesday, fifth-grade ELA classes in Miss Rey and Miss Jacobs’ rooms reviewed key plot concepts and story structure vocabulary to help deepen their reading comprehension and analytical skills.

Last week, students in Mrs. Colon’s class conducted their first science experiment of the year! By placing celery stalks in water mixed with food coloring, students observed how nutrients are absorbed through the stem and transported up to the leaves. The food coloring provided a clear visual of this process in action.

Math Connections at Reutter School
Last week, in Mrs. Riggione’s and Mrs. Cockerill’s fifth grade math classes, students listened to 30,000 Stitches as we took time to remember and honor September 11.
Students then jumped into a math activity connected to the American flag while practicing our standing whiteboard routines. Working in groups, students solved a Try It problem, shared their strategies, and made connections between the different ways their classmates approached the problem.
Students were also invited to choose from differentiated extension tasks, giving them an opportunity to keep exploring and applying their math skills through American flag-related prompts.

On Friday afternoon, the Reutter School community gathered to mark the 25th Anniversary of 9/11 and commemorate Patriot Day. Students, teachers, staff, and community members stood shoulder-to-shoulder to reflect on our nation’s resilience, unity, and strength.
The moving program featured remarks from our Student Council leaders, Principal Mr. Peters, and Music Teacher Mr. Griffin. We were especially honored to welcome and recognize veterans from the Franklinville VFW and firefighters from the Franklinville Volunteer Fire Company, thanking them for their dedicated service and selflessness.
