RJES Families: Please see the attached map for the new traffic pattern we have implemented for this school year!
• The lane that runs between Labor & Education and Headstart will be ONE WAY as the only entrance into the parking lot.
• We are going to institute a stricter "airport-style" approach to help streamline pick-ups by the curb.
Thank you for your help in keeping students, staff, and families safe as they come and go from school!

April in the Sm’algyax language is Ha'lila̱x sixs'waanx- it means the time to gather herring eggs! Yesterday, our first grade class was able to share a yummy snack. Thanks to MIC for sharing laxsm xs’waanx (herring eggs on branches) with the community, and thank you to Ms. Chelsee Cook for the eggs on Legi (hairy seaweed). Luk’wil ts’maatk (it tastes really good)! The first graders enjoyed eating them and were also so happy to share them with others at RJES!
