• 1/5 RETURN FROM WINTER BREAK
• 1/19 NO SCHOOL

Just a reminder, per the Student/Parent Handbook --- "Students should be kept at home if they have a fever over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, a cold, rash, or suspected communicable diseases. Students are advised to remain at home until they have recovered and are fever free for 24 hours without fever reducing medication."

Thank you to everyone who purchased Candy Grams! Our Rossmoyne Student Council was able to raise $434 to donate to New Hope Ministries. That means 868 kind notes were sent to students and staff.

This school year, we are partnering with New Hope Ministries to provide food for families in need over the weekend. If you are interested in this program or have any questions, please contact Mrs. Berfield. You can reach her via email mberfield@wssd.k12.pa.us or Seesaw.

Balancing all life has to offer can be difficult, but families do not have to go through challenges alone. Follow the link to see more information about the Elementary Student Assistance Program (ESAP), to see if your family would benefit from extra support services.

You can fill out a referral form that will directly go to the ESAP team. A member of the team will reach out to assist.

Families can attend FREE in-person workshops, available to ALL families. Workshops will be held at Rossmoyne Elementary School. Registration is required.
