Upcoming Events #resvt

Please mark your calendars for these upcoming events:

  • Tuesday, January 29th: Snow Motion at Cochran's

** Please remember to have your kindergartener bring warm winter gear for Snow Motion on Tuesdays. This would include: snow pants, winter coat, waterproof mittens/gloves, boots, hat and comfortable clothing that is easy to move in.**

Dismissal Reminders:
  • If you have to change your child's after school plans please remember to notify the office or myself. This can be done via phone (802) 434-2461 or by email. A change in after school plans that RES needs to be notified about are: going to a different location via bus, being picked up by a different adult, early pick up, or riding a different bus. This ensures that your child will get home safely. Thank you in advance.

ARTIST IN RESIDENCE: Miriam Block
Coming to RES  -- March 2019

We are excited to announce that RES students will be working with Miriam Block, a textile artist and designer, during art classes. They will learn about the way textile designers use texture, color, and pattern to plan and create woven fabrics. This three week residency will be an amazing opportunity for students in pre-k - 4 grades to discover the many ways fabric is used in our lives. During this residency, students will have an opportunity to design and weave a fabric for a specific end use.

In order to support this residency we are SEEKING A FEW DONATIONS of supplies.  If you have any of these supplies, or are willing to collect them over the next few weeks, it would be REALLY appreciated!  



1.  Recycled Netted Bags (from Lemons, Limes, Clementines, Potatoes, Oranges)
The best bags will have small even openings on the top (see picture to right).
2.  Yarn, plastic strips, rope, ribbon
3.  Old tablecloths or bed sheets (we will be cutting into strips)




This Artist in Residence was supported by many people, including::
Vermont Art Council
RES Artist in Residence Selection Group
RES Enrichment Program
RES Art Program
RES PTO
RES Circus Night
THANK YOU!

Donated items can be dropped off at the RES front office, ATTN: Darcie Rankin.  If you have questions, please contact Darcie Rankin, Enrichment Teacher at darcie.rankin@cesuvt.org.

Welcome Back! #resvt

Welcome back kindergarten families! I hope you all had a restful and fun vacation! Students were back to work today! We wrote about our vacations, reviewed letters and sounds, read from our book bins, learned how to play a new math game, and started talking about what animals and plants need to survive and even celebrated a birthday! Phew, what an amazing day back!  Below you will see a list of upcoming events and reminders for the new year!

Upcoming Events:


  • Wednesday, January 9th: 2 hour delayed opening; doors open at 9:30
  • Thursday, January 10th: PTO Meeting @6:30

Please remember to send your student to school with recess gear. We go outside every day and would like students with snow pants, hat, mittens/gloves, warm jacket, and boots (even if there is no snow). It is helpful if these items are labeled. Thank you for your continued support!
