Hello Rosedale Families,
It was great to see so many families at conferences this week. Parent-teacher conferences are great opportunities to strengthen our home-school connection and set solid goals for our students moving forward. Thank you for spending part of your day with us!
Next week, we will officially start our intervention block. This is a time each day where every student gets small group reading support based on their current skill level. During this time, several of our grade level teams mix up their students to make sure everyone recieves the most appropriate lessons. We have seen strong results throughout the district since we've moved to this model, and we feel like we're getting better each year. If you have any questions about the intervention block, please let us know.
Our Color Run fundraiser offically ends tonight. We have surpassed our goal (THANK YOU!) which means I will be "slimed" and the kids will get Kona Ice. These rewards along with the prize raffles, will take place next Friday, October 16th. I'll add the slime pictures to next week's Rosedale Report for all to enjoy. It will be a fun way to end the week and the kids are definitely looking forward to it.
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.
