Please take a moment to review Ruckel's Attendance Policies here
• No phone call is necessary the day your student is out; however, a written note is required to be sent with your student the day they return to school. • New Procedure as of September 13!! Upon their return to campus, students have five days to supply a note to excuse the absence. They will bring the note to Ms. Davies in the Front Office and she will verify the note and enter the excused absence in the AS400 and PAWS system, which will be notification that the absence has been excused during the proper time frame. This will eliminate the handling of a note from person to person. She will also mark tardiness and check outs in PAWS. • No absence will be excused without a written note. |
Now in Session for 2021!
Success Center, an after school program designed to help students with homework,

PARENT VOLUNTEERS!! ONLINE VOLUNTEER FORM HERE Please watch some short informational videos on the OCSD website before completing your online volunteer application. Email Mrs. Watson, our volunteer coordinator at WatsonS@Okaloosaschools.com Ruckel has a history of having great volunteers and mentors. At this point, we are allowed to have both on campus. If you can, sign up to be a volunteer or mentor. We need front office help with attendance, clerk type work and some of the jobs listed above could be done voluntarily. There is no greater gift than serving the needs of children. |
BECOME A MENTOR Ruckel needs you! We are looking for mentors to come and spend some time with students. The commitment is once per week during the student's 30 minute lunch time. Studies have shown that students who are mentored develop more positive attitudes, achieve higher grades, improve relationships with adults and peers, are better able to express feelings, are more likely to trust their teachers, and develop higher levels of self-confidence. Please follow the link https://www.okaloosaschools.com/depts/ca/volunteer for instructions on the process of becoming a mentor. There is an application and background check that must be completed. If you have any questions, please contact Jamie Perry at 833-4142. We look forward to seeing you on campus! |
