WISE Words #5
Month of February
A Message from Our Leadership Team
We hope everyone has been staying warm during this stretch of snowy weather. The snow days this week certainly brought some excitement, and we hope your families were able to enjoy a little extra time together. We were so happy to welcome our students back into the building and hear their stories as the halls filled up again.
February has been a meaningful month at Rossi. Our classrooms have been filled with thoughtful conversations and engaging lessons as we celebrated Black History Month and Lunar New Year. We are proud of the way our students approach learning about different cultures and histories with curiosity and respect. Beyond the special celebrations, it is the everyday moments, the smiles at arrival, the effort in the classroom, and the kindness shown to one another, that truly make this school community special.
As we head into March, we want to remind families how important consistent attendance is for student success. Each school day builds on the one before it, and being present helps students stay connected, confident, and engaged.
We are also looking forward to Read Across America Week and our Read a Palooza event next week. It is always a highlight of the year and a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the joy of reading together.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support. We are grateful each day for the opportunity to work with your children and to be part of this community.
Love,
Mrs. Coia, Principal
Mr. Cif, Assistant Principal
Rossi Elementary School proudly celebrated National School Counselors Week by recognizing two incredible members of our team, Mrs. Cileone, our school social worker, and Mrs. Fischer, our guidance counselor.
Every day, they work tirelessly to support the academic, social, and emotional needs of our students. Whether they are helping a child work through a difficult moment, teaching important life skills, supporting families, or collaborating with teachers and staff, their impact is felt throughout our entire school community.
Mrs. Cileone and Mrs. Fischer provide a safe space for students to be heard, valued, and understood. Their compassion, dedication, and commitment to student well being help create a school environment where children can grow, learn, and succeed.
We are truly grateful for all that they do for our students and families at Rossi. Please join us in thanking them for their hard work and the difference they make every day.
Congratulations to our Most Improved Attendance students for the month of January!
Your dedication and commitment to showing up each day has truly paid off. We are so proud of the effort you’ve made and the example you’re setting for others. Keep up the great work — it matters!
A very special thank you to Dominick’s Pizza & Luna Soul & Bowls for supporting and celebrating our students. We are so grateful for your continued partnership and generosity!
Paul Coia has been selected by our district’s Food Service Department to compete in the annual Future Chef Competition!
Paul will showcase his culinary talents on March 12 at Wallace School, where he will present his delicious Chicken Cutlet Taco recipe.
We can’t wait to cheer him on as he represents our school and shares his creativity in the kitchen. Congratulations, Paul!
Our students had an amazing time dressing up as their 100-year-old selves and sharing collections of their favorite 100 things! From gray hair and canes to creative posters and projects, the smiles and laughter filled our hallways all day long.
We are so proud of the creativity, kindness, and school spirit our students continue to show. Here’s to 100 days of learning, growing, and spreading kindness!
