Dear Rogers Families,
Superintendent Dr. Aaron Johnson will be announcing our new principal later this week. I can't wait to meet him or her and it will be my pleasure to help them transition to Rogers!
Our Fall Festival was truly one for the books! Students enjoyed spirit week activities with a variety of themed days. They participated in a super competitive door decorating contest and enjoyed a loud and energizing spirit assembly. Special guests in our assembly were four former Rogers students, now seniors at Irondequoit High School! Special congratulations to the students in Ms. Wambach's class for winning the school-wide door decorating contest. Congrats also to Mrs. Steubing's fourth grade students for winning the "Spirit Award!"
There are many lovely items in our Lost & Found. Teachers and staff try very hard to match lost belongings with students, but it's a tough job without names written on things. If time allows this week at home, please consider taking an extra minute and have your son/daughter label hoodies, jackets or water bottles. Even first and last initials on an article of clothing or water bottle will be helpful. If you're missing something, please email your child's teacher. They can check-out the Lost & Found on their way to lunch.
If I don't see you in the next few weeks, here's wishing you and Happy Thanksgiving!
Sincerely,Peter J. Hens
Interim Principal

IPD TO ALTER GUARD STRUCTURE IN WINTER
We wanted to remind you again of an upcoming change by IPD to the Crossing Guard schedule in early 2024 that will impact some families. The Irondequoit Police Dept. has informed us that it will eliminate crossing guards at the following locations from Tuesday, Jan. 2 through Friday, Feb. 16 because of a "low-to-no student count," during that time frame.
St. Paul @ Pattonwood
Lakeshore @ Washington
St. Paul @ Westbourne
Portland @ Coronado
“It is both safer and more practical to have those crossing guards redeployed to other posts where there is a need to cross students," IPD shared with us, adding that shifting those guards to higher traffic areas during that seven-week span, such as in front of Dake Jr. HS and IHS, will enhance student safety.
If you have questions, please email IPD Crossing Guard Coordinator, Mary Beth Egeling, at megeling@irondequoit.gov. If you or anyone you know would want to be a crossing guard, please also email her to obtain more information.

Do you:
- Have a new cell phone number or switch carriers recently?
- Have a new email address or new work phone number?
- Need to update your emergency contacts?
Be sure to keep us informed of any changes to your numbers or emergency contact information. Update it directly on the Infinite Campus Portal, or send in a note with your child.

WHY YOUR MOBILE NUMBER IS CRITICAL
You must have your mobile number in the MOBILE NUMBER field. Our system does NOT default even if you have just one field filled out (Home/Work/Mobile). If your mobile number is not in the correct field, you will NOT receive text messages from our school/district for emergencies (such as school closings in winter months).
