We strongly believe that the future and success of RECM depends entirely on the quality of parent involvement.
We welcome your expertise in helping us develop a meaningful educational experience for our children.
We encourage all parents to take part in helping us succeed for the sake of our children and families. We appreciate all of your efforts!
We ask for your involvement in your children's progress at school:
· Help your child with weekly homework assignments.
· Check ad sign your child's journal ("Dnevnik") on a regular basis.
· Touch base with your child's teacher on a regular basis to stay informed about your child's progress at our school.
· Inform the child's teacher of any absences. In case of an absence, please try to cover the missed material and complete the homework assigned along with your child.
· We ask that you cover all textbooks, notebooks and the journal, and label them with your child's name. A fine covering the cost of replacement will be charged for all lost or damaged textbooks and journals.
· Due to a limited number of available learning materials, textbooks are given to students for temporary use ONLY.
Please take special care to return the textbooks in the same condition you received them.

We tried so hard to make things better for our kids that we made them worse.
For my grandchildren, I'd like better.

- I hope you learn humility by being humiliated, and that you learn honesty by being cheated.
- I hope you learn to make your own bed and mow the lawn, and wash the car. And I really hope nobody gives you a brand new car when you are sixteen.
- It will be good if at least one time you can see puppies born and your old dog put to sleep.
- I hope you get a black eye fighting for something you believe in.
- I hope you have to share a bedroom with your younger brother. And it's all right if you have to draw a line down the middle of the room, but when he wants to crawl under the covers with you because he's scared, I hope you let him.
- When you want to see a movie and your little brother wants to tag along, I hope you'll let him.
- I hope you have to walk uphill to school with your friends and that you live in a town where you can do it safely.
- On rainy days when you have to catch a ride, I hope you don't ask your driver to drop you two blocks away so you won't be seen riding with someone as uncool as your Mom.
- If you want a slingshot, I hope your Dad teaches you how to make one instead of buying one.
- I hope you learn to dig in the dirt and read books.
- When you learn to use computers, I hope you also learn to add and subtract in your head.
- I hope you get teased by your friends when you have your first crush on a girl, and when you talk back to your mother that you learn what ivory soap tastes like.
- May you skin your knee climbing a mountain, burn your hand on a stove and stick your tongue on a frozen flagpole.
- I don't care if you try a beer once, but I hope you don't like it.
- And if a friend offers you dope or a joint, I hope you realize he is not your friend.
- I sure hope you make time to sit on a porch with your Grandpa and go fishing with your Uncle.
- May you feel sorrow at a funeral and joy during the holidays.
- I hope your mother punishes you when you throw a baseball through your neighbor's window and that she hugs you and kisses you at Christmas time when you give her a plaster mold of your hand.
- These things I wish for you - tough times and disappointment, hard work and happiness. To me, it's the only way to appreciate life.
