September is here! We have had a great two weeks of school. Our students are beginning to get into a good school routine. Thank you for the support you are giving to them! We know they probably are coming home very tired each evening.

In this newsletter, you will find some important links, dates, and information that will be useful to you and help us all to get off to a great start! If you have any questions, please reach out to your child's teacher or to the office with any questions you may have.

Thank you,

Our annual School Fundraiser begins on September 14th and ends on October 6th. Please be watching for a packet to come home with your student. Payment is due when the orders are received. Orders are expected to be delivered before Thanksgiving break. The funds raised are used to purchase student and staff learning materials and provide various incentives for our students and staff. We appreciate your support!

Each year, we ask for parent members for our LSIC at the school level. Please email Mrs. Propst at ejpropst@k12.wv.us if you are interested in serving on this committee. There are four meetings throughout the school year to discuss general school information as well as to seek suggestions or answer any questions. The meetings are typically at 3:45 PM and are held in our school library. If you are interested in possibly being on this committee, please email Mrs. Propst by Friday, September 15th. Thank you!

Please be sure that your child wears sneakers on days that he or she has PE. It is very important for their safety and for them to be able to participate fully. Please no Crocs, flip flops, sandals, or boots on PE days. Thank you!

If you would like to volunteer and/or be a considered to possibly be a field trip chaperone, you must complete a background check through Berkeley County Schools. Please click below to begin this process. A handout was also given at Orientation. If you are interested in being considered to be a chaperone, this handout must be completed as well as all names must be given to our board of education for approval. Thanks!

*When your child is absent, there is no need to call the school. Please make sure you send a note with your student when he/she returns to school. Absence notes may be submitted electronically by following this link:

https://www.berkeleycountyschools.org/o/bcs/page/absencenote

It is very important to submit a note or send a note for your student.

Also, when your child is absent, calls are made district-wide to let parents/guardians know. If you know that your child is home, you do not need to call the school. It is a courtesy call for families and mainly is applicable to older students, but is a district-wide system. Those calls should be starting soon...

*As Rosemont's school counselors, we are here to assist students with their educational and emotional journeys. All students will participate in bi-weekly classroom guidance lessons. We are available for short-term individual/small group counseling on a referral basis, so please let us know if you have any particular concerns.

*Beginning September 11th, one student from each homeroom will be recognized for the week in our HIGH FLYING SUPERSTAR program. Each SUPERSTAR will receive a pencil, a SUPERSTAR necklace, and a letter inviting his or her parents to celebrate with them on Fridays during lunchtime.

*Shoe vouchers, clothing vouchers, and applications for Kidz Power Packs (a weekly bag of non-perishable food items) are available through the Guidance office. Call or e-mail us for more information.

*Remember it is best for students to arrive by 8:20am to have time to eat breakfast, unpack book bags, and get settled in for the day.

*Olweus Bullying Prevention Week is coming up September 18 -22. BCS has planned an event for September 21. Please see the flyer below. More information will be coming from the school level soon.
