• 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

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.

Have you ever thought about participating in Junior Achievement ? We have some classrooms that need volunteers. Miss Ansel, Mrs. Maxwell, and Miss Fleisher all need volunteers. If you are interested please reach out to Tami, thertzler@jascpa.org

Returning this year will be our March Tabness event! Start saving your aluminum can tabs for the Ronald McDonald House. We are so excited to have this event again this spring! If you are new to Rossmoyne, your student is in for an amazing event. Stay tuned for more details!

From February 3rd - February 7th, our student council will be hosting a food drive. Students may bring in nonperishable items throughout the week. They can place items on the team's table they think will win the Super Bowl! All collected items will be donated to New Hope Ministries.

On January 24th we had our kick-off assembly with the reveal of our One School One Book title, A Boy Called Bat.

Throughout the month of February your student will be given opportunities to read the book and answer questions. Make sure they turn in their responses!

We will wrap up our One School One Book event on the evening of March 6th @ 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM with many exciting events! This is a Rossmoyne tradition you definitely don't want to miss out on!
