Rhodes Pep Club
Rhodes Pep Club is a great way to get involved in the Rhodes community. Meetings are every month, and they love new volunteers. Here is their December Newsletter: December Pep Club Newsletter
Volunteering at Rhodes:
Rhodes is an elite elementary school with a tremendous history. One of the things that makes our school so amazing is the involvement of parents on campus. Pep Club is our parent organization that is the backbone of our success. They would love to have more and new parents join them. The following QR code gives information on how to help and join.
Family Fun Night
Family fun nights are a great way to get involved with the Rhodes community. These are nights when you can take a break from cooking, hang out with families from your class, and raise funds for our amazing Pep Club. Our 3rd Family Fun Night is October 24th at the Panda Express and Crumble Cookies in Chino. More information will be sent home soon.
Chromebooks
Beginning in 5th grade, each CVUSD student is assigned their own Chromebook. Students will keep this until 8th grade, and it will be taken home and used for homework. Students and parents are responsible for both the computer and charger. The district is offering an insurance protection plan. I have attached this opportunity here: CVUSD Insurance Protection Plan
Yoga Balls in the Classroom
Sitting at a desk for 6 1/2 hours per day is difficult for many adults and a near impossibility for some students. A University of Chicago Research report showed gains in both academics and health. For these reasons, students in the class can choose chairs or exercise balls for their desks. So, when you see your kid bouncing lightly in their seat, know there is some science behind the decision.
Debate
Twelve years ago, Mr. Fjeldsted began the debate program at Rhodes. Mr. Dan and Mr. Rossen are proud to carry the tradition on. The Rhodes Debate Team meets every Wednesday before/after school. We have two competitions each year, with seven total schools in Chino Valley participating. Please see Mr. Dan or Mr. Rossen if your child is interested in participating.
Green Teams
Human impact on the environment is an important piece of the science curriculum in all elementary grades. Mr. Rossen runs Green Teams. This is where children can learn about their impact on the world around them. Students also run the Rhodes recycling program and help classrooms and the school save energy. Meetings are before school on Friday, and students from all grades are welcome to attend.
Band
Being in band has a plethora of benefits for students. Rhodes is proud to have an amazing band program run by Mrs. Yii. 5th graders can join beginning band. Practices are after school on Wednesdays and in the afternoon on Mondays. You are encouraged to sign up, and please ask if there are any questions.
