Rowe Newsletter

Dear Rowe Families,

Thank you for your patience while our district IT department worked tirelessly to bring our phones back online this week. We appreciate your understanding.

As we head into March, the weather remains ever-changing. Please make sure your child is prepared by sending them appropriate snow gear, including boots, snow pants, gloves, and a hat. Additionally, we recommend keeping an extra set of clothes in their locker in case of wet or muddy conditions.

Looking ahead, Rowe Spring Conferences will take place on April 1 and 2. Please note that school will be dismissed at noon on both days.

Thank you for your continued support!

Your partners at Rowe,

Bill Anton, Principal

Melissa Richard, Assistant Principal

Our morning supervision begins promptly at 8:35. Please do not drop students off before this time.

Please park your car and walk to the school grounds to pick up/drop off students.

Please do not pull up beyond the red line on the right-hand side of the parking lot when dropping off or picking up by car.

Please be respectful of the pre-k-only spots in our parking lot. These designated spots allow the families of our youngest learners to load in/out of their vehicles.

Adults waiting for students at the end of the day should wait near the basketball court. Waiting in front of the entrance causes a lot of traffic jams for the lines of students walking out to the buses.

Please don't park on Purchas Street.

Thank you.

Our Spring conferences are scheduled for Tuesday, April 1 and Wednesday, April 2nd. Dismissal will be at noon both days.

The Portland Public Schools kindergarten enrollment application can now be completed online. Using the new Online Enrollment Application process, parents/guardians can provide their child's information electronically, and save time and paperwork. If your child has been attending one of the Portland Public Schools' Pre-K programs this past school year, you will not need to re-enroll. Your child will be entered into kindergarten at your neighborhood school.

Documents Needed for Enrollment:

After completing the initial online application, you will need to bring the following documents to your neighborhood school to complete the enrollment process. (For students whose families speak a language other than or in addition to English, please bring the documents to the Multilingual Family Welcome Center at Central Office instead.)

• Original proof of birth document (this document will be reviewed but not kept)
• Immunization records
• Proof of residency in Portland (This can be a utility bill, such as an electricity bill, or a cable or internet bill, or lease agreement/title of primary residence)
• Language use survey (found at the school)
