Happy Friday, Roundtown Families & Friends!

It's amazing to think we are already in the month of October. The school celebrated the 30th day of school on Tuesday and traditionally, this marks the end of "The first six weeks of school." The first six weeks is a major mile marker for us in the school in that everything that follows is built on the strong foundation of setting routines and expectations, rule creation and how that ties to our hopes and dreams. I am beyond proud of the foundation that has been built for another great school year at Roundtown.

Have a great weekend! Dad and I are on our way to Talladega, Alabama for the big NASCAR race! When Dad was diagnosed with cancer in January, I asked him what we were working toward as a goal to get healthy. He told me at that time he wanted to go back and see another live NASCAR race. In the early 2000's, we attended races at about 10 different tracks and always had so much fun. Talladega is one we always had on our bucket list. We will be camping on the inside part of the track and watching the race from a platform on top the truck. Even though my mom is also going through her own cancer struggle right now she told me, "Take your father and do this!" I do not take these moments for granted and feel so fortunate to make another memory with my dad. Wishing you and yours a special weekend too.

Regards,

Dr. Miller

Mrs. Zimmerman, our awesome Roundtown School Counselor, works to assist our students and teachers in a variety of ways. She meets individually with students, meets groups of children who have similar needs, and provides instruction to all students. The month of October is National Bullying Awareness Month and Mrs. Zimmerman will teach the children what exactly bullying is. This is not a term we use loosely at Roundtown. While children will often make a poor choice, not everything can or should be coded as "Bullying." You can read on to see how the school defines bullying and how we teach a common vocabulary to our students about what to do if they suspect someone is being bullied or have experienced it themself. The school takes bullying seriously and investigates and appropriately address all forms of bullying.

Maintaining school attendance is important to support the learning and socioemotional growth of our learners. Central York strives to make our school environment a place where everyone can be safe and healthy to do their learning. We will do our best to listen and partner with you so our learners can have a successful year. Below you will find our attendance protocol for your review. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us with questions or concerns. We are here to support the needs of our learners!
