Your student's teacher will be sending home information about conferences. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet with your student's teacher and discuss how they are doing in school. Please look for information from your student's teacher to schedule your meeting with them.

If your student is going to be a parent pick up, please call or email the office no later than 3:00 PM. We want to make sure your student arrives home on the correct transportation.

If your student is going to be absent please notify the office via PowerSchool, email, or phone call. If you do so via PowerSchool or email this also counts as a written excuse. If you call into the school, you must provide a written excuse within 3 days of your student's return, to avoid unlawful absences.

Rossmoyne students and their families are invited to join us for a cozy evening of reading!
