Hello Rosedale Families,
We had a fun and busy week at Rosedale. On Monday, we hosted the Board of Education's Committee of the Whole meeting. Our School Board toured the school, then heard a presentation about Rosedale from several staff members. We loved sharing all of the amazing things about our school and our students.
Our Kindergarteners and First graders also took their first field trips of the school year this week. Both groups were great and the students had a lot of fun. Thank you to all of our chaperones that attended either of these trips.
Of course, we ended the week with our Color Run Reward Celebrations. Our Principal for the Day welcomed students in the morning and spent the day walking through classrooms, passing out Raptor Tickets, and having fun in the office. We also drew our raffle winners for our 19! additional prizes. Since we raised so much money beyond our goal, our PTA was also able to make a prize bag for every student! We also had Kona Ice here on Friday and all students were able to get a free Kona. Of course, we also had our "sliming" of the principal. The kids loved it. Thank you all for your support with this year's Color Run!
In partnership,
Ben Hillard

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.

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.
