Greetings, RSPA Families,


Can you believe it’s already November? The crisp air and colorful leaves remind us that the fall season is officially here! As we enter this season of gratitude, we are thankful for our families, staff, and students who make our school community so special.


Our teachers continue to provide rigorous, TEKS-aligned instruction focused on strengthening reading, math, and science skills through hands-on learning and critical thinking. Families can support this work by encouraging daily study habits, ensuring homework completion, and checking grades in the Parent Portal.
