First, we want to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season! We look forward to the second half of the school year with our Rossmoyne Bulldog families! Here are just some friendly reminders:

• If your student will be absent due to illness, please call the office, submit via Power School, or email Mrs. Sowers.
• When your student returns to school, please submit an excuse within 3 days of their return to avoid an unexcused absence.
• If your student will be a parent pick up notify the office directly. You may message you student's teacher, however, we ask that you notify the office as well so we can place them on the pick up list.
• If your student will be absent due to a trip, please fill out an educational field trip form. A form needs to be filled for your student's absence to be excused. You can find the form here, via the district website: https://www.wssd.k12.pa.us/StudentAttendance.aspx

Congratulations to 4th grader, Avery Orth, for earning an honorable mention in this year's holiday card contest. Way to go Avery! #RSBulldogBest #WestShoreProud

Stay tuned for more details and the title of the book!
