Welcome to Rupert Elementary School where character counts and hard work is rewarded. I am excited to start the new year at Rupert Elementary School located behind WGMS. Everything is changing and we are a team working together to keep our whole school safe and healthy.\

Our theme this year is Dream BIG! We will be working together to make each day count. I encourage you to read with your students each night at least 20 minutes. I welcome families to participate in your child’s learning. We are a learning community that need teachers, custodians, aides, cooks, secretaries, bus drivers, parents and community members and all involved in the child’s life to participate in our goal and that is all students can succeed.

Our positive behavior support program is T.I.D.E. which is Talented Individuals Demonstrating Excellence. We have expectations posted throughout the school and in the classrooms. We will continue with our P.B.I.S which is positive behavior interventions and supports. This means we support learners and strive to support students with positive interventions in order to change behavior.

Masks will be required for all students and staff. We will provide masks for students that do not have one. We will be cleaning and disinfecting in order to keep all school community members safe.

I look forward to working with you during this year. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at 304-392-5235.
