Earlier this month, the RLEC Robotics Team attended competition. 42 teams competed, with the top 22 teams making it to qualifiers, while the rest of the teams were placed into a second chance competition.
We placed 1st,4th and 8th in the second chance competition. Not all tournaments have the second chance event, but it was nice for teams like ours that are newer to robotics to have the chance to compete again. Adam and cash got 1st place in the second chance team event! Everyone did a great job!
Reminder that RLEC will have an early release for students at 1:15pm on Thursday, February 23rd, due to conferences at the Secondary Complex. Miigwech!
Enjoy your day off today! We’ll see you back at school tomorrow!
Red Lake School District has decided that we will be running two hours late this morning to give plows the time they need to clear the roads and get them well salted. All students will have a 2-hour late start today, February 15, 2023. Miigwech!
Check out Ms. Follis’ fifth graders working on getting a bingo, challenging them to get a blackout, on their Make-Tac-Toe using wooden blocks in makerspace!
Once they got a blackout, signed off by a teacher, they got to become a teacher and sign off their classmates squares.
RLEC after school activities are canceled tonight, February 8th, due to lack of water pressure in the building.
Recently, Governor Walz, took time to recognize the Paraprofessionals in our Minnesota school districts. We are thankful EVERY DAY for our Paraprofessionals. Every adult who works at the Elementary has an essential role in supporting the students’ education. As Paraprofessionals, they work miracles. They help students find their calm. They help them learn when they struggle. They help them open milk and other food containers. They clean up after their messes (diapers too!). They support the teaching staff prepare for the days whether it is making photocopies, cleaning up the room, preparing folders, and helping students find their way to receive services. Anyone who works closely with Paraprofessionals knows that when they are unable to be at work, we are lost without them.
To the Red Lake Elementary Paraprofessionals – chi miigwech for being there for our students and staff!

Some teachers at RLEC have been doing “Flashlight Fridays” for some time. We wanted to share the idea out to all Grade 3-5 classrooms. In December, Grades 3-5 students and staff were gifted with a class set (to keep at school) of flashlights and materials for a “Flashlight Friday”.
Here is Mr. Kindem’s class on Flashlight Friday!

Because many side roads in Beltrami County, and around Red Lake are still not plowed, Red Lake Schools will start two hours late tomorrow morning. With the extra time and daylight, we hope people will be plowed out by then.
Buses may be moving slowly through some secondary roads. Buses may not be able to go down side roads if they are not plowed. We ask for your patience and understanding, as we do our best to bring students to school.
Miigwech!
