Twin Lake Elementary

Good Morning RPTLE Families, I hope that all of you are enjoying our West Michigan Summer! We have been working hard on our return to school and Rocket Virtual plans. I know that there are a lot of questions regarding the start of the school year. Please continue to visit the Reeths-Puffer Website for the most up to date information. (www.reeths-puffer.org) Please spend some time navigating our district's website, there is a ton of information on our site regarding our plans and different options! ALERT - Please look for information coming your way via a survey to declare your intentions for "F2F" Face to Face Instruction or "RV" Rocket Virtual soon. You will be prompted to declare RV or F2F for the upcoming school year. The default will be F2F if you do not take the survey. The survey will close on August 31st. With the date of our survey and the RV or F2F declaration our traditional rosters and teacher assignments will come out the week of September 1st. This is really late, but we want to ensure that we have balanced classrooms and all of our students place appropriately. Once we notify you of your child's teacher placement you will be invited to a virtual open house with your child's teacher. A general school supply list was just posted yesterday to our website and social media locations. Thank you for your continued patience as we continue to prepare for our return to school. Our school office is open from 8:00-4:00 daily. Please call 719-3190 ext 2200 with any questions. We appreciate you and are looking forward to seeing our learners soon! ~Dawn

Dear Families~ A reminder to send a photo of your child wearing their mask to Mrs. Schmitt. We're making a "Guess Who" board to help kids feel more comfortable with wearing a mask in school. We know that this is temporary and we want to make it as normal as possible. We will do our best to make it less stressful and have a little fun at the same time.

Good morning! A reminder that our office opens today at 8:30. Please call 719-3190 to make an appointment if you need to visit. Thank you.

We would like to offer our learners a challenge. Please take a photo of yourself wearing a mask and send it to Mrs. Schmitt. The pictures will be a part of our "Guess Who" back to school wall. Photos may be emailed to schmittd@reeths-puffer.org, or you can bring them into your teacher on September 8th. ​ Our wonderful teaching team wants you to know that masks won't mask our smiles. Our eyes are smiling for you and we are eager to see all of you very soon. Below is a short video for you to enjoy. You can see that we look the same, even with a mask! ​Enjoy! Looking forward to "seeing you" soon! Go Rockets!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrbkAiHIkd8​
