2010-2011 School Year Information
If is hard to believe that we are already thinking about the fall, but before we know it, students will be back in the halls of RPI.
A few things to know as we prepare for the fall:
- Information on Team placement for students will come out the week of August 16. An information packet will be sent home with team placement, emergency forms and other general information regarding RPI.
- Our 5th Grade Orientation will take place on Tuesday, August 31st, at 6:00 PM, in our RPI Cafe. This is the time that students will meet their teachers, have a chance to walk the building and see what materials they will need for the school year.
- Our 6th Grade Orientation will take place on Thursday, September 9th, beginning at 6:00 PM, in our RPI Cafe.
- Both of our Orientations are important for students and parents to meet teachers, find out what is needed for the school year and see our building. Mark your calendars for both dates.
The RPI Office will be open beginning on Monday, August 9th, should you have any questions.
We hope that you have a great summer!!!
About Reeths-Puffer Intermediate School
Our building has approximately 595 students in grades five and six. The average core class size is between 29-30 students.
Our fine arts program is outstanding. Over 250 students are in both band and choir. Students begin with instrumental music in fifth grade. They receive instruction in like instrument groups. Our choir and theater department performs two concerts each year with the final performance based on the second semester theater class that students may participate in. The visual arts department produces outstanding art work that is displayed each year at the Muskegon Museum of Art.
Our Service Learning Project, the Peace Garden, is a point of pride in our school. Students and staff care for this area with students performing math and science problems with the measuring and planting of flowers and other material. The garden also serves as a memorial for students and staff who have passed away. Our students actively participate in many community service projects including a food drive, assistance to the Rescue Mission, donating money and time to other local organizations.
Our students are placed in "teams" of two core
teachers. Each team has its own name and identity. This
gives students a feel for teamwork so they can associate with
their individual team and classmates.
Girls on the Run
