Fundraiser Available

We have set up an optional fundraiser for students to help them raise money for their trip. Click the link below to purchase either Cluver’s or Hungry Howie’s cards for $12.50 each. You will need to enter your payment amount depending on how many cards you want to purchase (10 cards x $12.50 = $125.00 etc.) Cards are then SOLD for $25. You keep $12.50 from each card sold (a total of $125 for ten cards sold) and apply it towards the cost of the trip. All cards must be purchased through the website link and can be picked up in the main office by the gym from Mrs. Lackowski. Cards are non-refundable, so we recommend starting with 10 and purchasing more as needed. If you have any questions, feel free to email katie.lackowski@romeok12.org or marisha.sunday@romeok12.org.

Maintaining Routines During the Fall Season:

As we transition into cooler weather and earlier sunsets, maintaining consistent routines at home becomes especially important for student success. Please encourage your child to:

• Set a designated time and quiet space for homework each evening.
  

• Maintain a regular sleep schedule to ensure they are well-rested for the school day.
  

• Prepare for the next day by organizing materials and setting alarms.
  

• Take time to discuss their school day and any upcoming assignments or activities.
  

Consistent routines at home support academic progress, reduce stress, and help students stay focused and prepared throughout the school year.

Grade Specific:

★ 7th Grade

Team IGNITE will begin to dive into XELLO lessons next week with Mrs. Skover! We will be starting with team Accelerate and will eventually visit each Ancient History class.

A few discussion starters you can introduce at home about Xello and career thinking:

• What are your passions in life?

• How do you want to make a difference?

• Have you ever thought about what you would like to do in the future when you are done with high school?
