School Collaborates with Transportation Department
On January 7, 2010, RICA hosted about 40 drivers and aides at a training event in the media center. Earlier this year, the school received a grant from the MCPS Small Grants Foundation to purchase a training kit called R.I.D.E. - Resolving Issues Drivers Encounter to develop conflict resolution skills. RICA Assistant Principal, Michelle Schultze worked with Transportation Training Supervisor, Jim Beasley, to plan the event for all drivers and aides who work with our students. According to Mrs. Schultze, "The school day begins and ends on our buses for many of our students, and we want to give our drivers and aides more tools to be more successfull with them." Training topics included learning conflict resolution skills, such as using "Strategic Language" instead of "Natural Language" when dealing with bus problems to resolve them before they escalate. The participants received a poster of "Rules for Fighting Fair" and a brochure detailing the highlights of the system. RICA staff who assisted with the training were Terry Kirtz, Clint Thomas, and Vinnie Arianna
We had a great Family Fun Night Nov. 5 -5:30-7:30 . All the families that attended had a great dinner and it was a wonderful performance by Clancy Works Dance Company
