Dear Rohwer Families,
What an incredible first week of school we have had! I have loved seeing students walk through our doors every day and connect with their friends and teachers! This week was all about getting back into the routine of school. Teachers spent time reviewing school expectations and classroom procedures. In the midst of that, students were able to reconnect with peers or meet new ones as classrooms emphasized community and team building activities!
As we have gotten back into the swing of things, I hope this newsletter provides you with any information that you still may be wondering about! If you have any questions, please reach out to our office staff at 402-715-6225. We are ready to help!
Be sure to check out the PTO Highlights Section below for some great information and upcoming events! Thank you to the PTO for the amazing "Welcome Back Breakfast" that was provided earlier this week! Rohwer staff enjoyed the fuel before a busy week!
Sincerely,
Karly Barada
