Dear Parents/Guardians:
Welcome to the 2017-2018 school year! I am truly honored to be the principal of Rogers Heights Elementary School. I believe every child is a learner and every day is an opportunity for each child to become college and career ready in a safe and nurturing environment. Our community of learners including teachers, parents, students and staff, join me with upholding high standards with an absolute commitment to understanding and improving the educational process. We are committed to using collaborative practices working directly with community and family while focusing on student success.
We are a school of over 700 students with a rigorous curriculum centered on meeting the needs of every student with continued implementation of Common Core standards and practices. I look forward to our continued work with all stakeholders as we create a school where staff is valued, parents and community are welcome with students engaged and excited about learning. Our school is committed to our vision…Every student a success….Every dream a reality!
Academics are only one phase developing our children. Rogers Heights Elementary School is a fantastic learning environment that addresses the needs of the whole child. We are committed to supporting all, not only with academic success, but also with becoming productive and responsible members of an ever growing global community. This is achieved through fostering the social, emotional, physical and intellectual growth of students. Our staff creates a building atmosphere in which every student is honored for their unique contributions. We also provide continuous rigorous learning opportunities that expand student growth and overall learning.
Our doors are always open and we welcome your comments, suggestions and ideas. Thank you for supporting our school!
Sincerely,
Barbara Bottoms
Principal
Estimados padres y/o guardianes:
¡Qué gran momento del año! Un tiempo para reflexionar, relajarse y rejuvenecer! Me gustaría aprovechar esta oportunidad para agradecer a todas las familias por su continuo compromiso con la educación. El crecimiento de los niños realizados durante el curso del año escolar era claramente evidente. Las celebraciones educativas de fin de año eran un motivo de orgullo para el personal y todos los administradores. Me gustaría enviar estos pocos pensamientos a todos nuestros estudiantes y sus familias para estos meses de verano. Sea sano, seguro y limitar su tiempo jugando juegos de video para pasar el tiempo en familia haciendo actividades. Leer muchos libros. Ponte a prueba a leer un nuevo libro cada dos semanas. Las actividades de verano proporcionan valiosas experiencias en la que los niños aprenden sobre sí mismos y el mundo que les rodea. La vida de su hijo puede ser enriquecida a través de la lectura y la escritura del diario. Por favor, asegúrese de que el día de su hijo incluye el tiempo que se reserva para la lectura y escritura independiente. La lectura y la escritura es como un deporte, se necesita practicar todos los días! Que tengan un verano maravilloso y espero verlos en agosto!
