Support for Your Family

They say it takes a village to raise a child. We are your village.

Backpack Program The Backpack Food Program provides families with gift cards to local grocery stores to supplement their family budgets. Historically we have provided food directly, but starting in 2023 the PTA decided to switch to monthly gift cards to allow families to buy what they need and prefer. The identities of the students who participate in the Backpack Food Program are always kept confidential; adhering to this policy ensures that no student is identified for any reason. To sign up, please contact your child's teacher or our school counselor, Ian Johnstone.

Holiday Gift Drive Each December Rieke provides gifts and wrapping paper for families who need it. If your family could use some support with holiday gifts, please get in touch with counselor Chris Barrar by Thanksgiving. Gifts are purchased and donated by other Rieke families and local businesses. If you are interested in supporting the Gift Drive, please reach out to board@riekepta.org.

Food During the School Day All Rieke students have access to free breakfast and lunch during the 2024-25 school year. The office also has snacks that they can provide for students during the day.
