Hello Rosedale Families,
It was another busy week at Rosedale. It was great to see so many families at our Trunk-or-Treat on Wednesday night. We couldn't have asked for better weather and, our PTA knocked it out of the park with the music, ghoul bus, food, and trunks! A big thanks to everyone that helped with the event.
Our second grade students also went on a field trip to Maybury farm this week. They were great on the trip and had a lot of fun. We're so proud of our Raptors following our 3 to Be (Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Be Safe) when they're out in the community.
Of course, we ended the week with our Halloween celebrations and parade. The costumes were amazing and kids had a lot of fun throughout the day. Thank you to anyone who came and volunteered at any of our class parties. We couldn't do it without you.
Next week, there is no school on Tuesday. Rosedale is an election site, so there will be some traffic at the building. However, it is not a school day for students. It will be a professional development day for staff.
Have a happy and safe Halloween!

Our PBIS team would like to run some lunch/recess clubs during our cold weather months to give students more options for indoor activities. If you are interested in running a lunch club, please complete this form. Some ideas are listed in the form, but if you have other ideas, please let us know.
Each year, we invite families to complete a survey about their elementary school experience and share their feedback. We use this feedback to help us continue improving the educational experiences we provide for students and families. At Rosedale, we are committed to helping every Raptor learn, grow, and succeed, and your voice is an important part of that work!
Please take a minute to complete the Elementary Family Survey (click link). The survey will remain open through October 26th. Thank you for your continued support, feedback, and partnership. We are grateful for our Rosedale families.
Each year, PTA coordinates a Reflections Art Program. If your child is interested in Reflections or you'd like to learn more, please follow this link: https://www.rosedalepta.org/2026-reflections

Please make sure everyone who drops off or picks up your child knows and understands this document.
Early check-out/pick-up: Early office checkout will end each day at 3:45. If you come after this time, you will need to follow the end of day dismissal procedures. The end of each day has a lot of activity, and it is difficult to communicate quickly with teachers when students are packing up for the day. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience.
Birthday Treats: If you are sending in treats for your child's birthday or another special occasion, please do not send food items. You are welcome to send in other little trinkets or prizes for the class, but we will not be able to pass out food. There are many allergies in elementary schools and this rule helps to keep all of our kids safe. Thank you for your help.
