Greetings Roseau Elementary Families!

We had a very busy November, with many opportunities for our students. With three weeks left before break, the excitement will continue into December! Please take a look at the "Upcoming Dates" below, as well as all of the pictures from last month. Our teachers and staff continue to work hard every day for our students and will keep striving to do our best, because "Great Happens Here!"

Wishing you all a wonderful December and Happy New Year! If you have any concerns or questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to your teacher, or feel free to contact me anytime.

WORD OF THE WEEK

We continue to do our "Word of the Week" and encourage you to ask your child about it. A few of the recent words/phrases include the following: Gratitude, Opportunity, Do Your Best, and Find a Way. This week's phrase is "Lend a Helping Hand and Hands to Yourself" as we encourage our students to assist others and make thoughtful, responsible choices.

OUR RAM PRIDE EXPECTATIONS--Review these with your child/children!

A FEW REMINDERS...

1) We kindly ask that you PLEASE SLOW DOWN when entering the drop-off and pick-up area. Your cooperation helps ensure the safety of all our students. Thank you for your attention to this important matter!

2) During the day any communication with your child should be through their teacher and/or the office. Cell phones and apple watches can be a big distraction to an entire class so we want to curb this right away. If you have any questions with this, please give Mr. Lingen a call or stop by and visit with him!

3) If you need to meet with a teacher, be sure you schedule a time with them to come in!

4) For safety purposes, we do need you to check in and out of the office when you or your child arrives late or leaves early. Your first contact is your child's teacher, but be sure to stop by the office before you go.

5) When picking up your students, please be mindful to avoid blocking the school vans. This ensures a smooth and safe pick-up process for everyone. Thank you for your cooperation!

6) K-6 graders who are not riding the bus who are coming in on the North end should be using the MAIN ELEMENTARY ENTRANCE (N1) on the North end.

7) If you need to make any changes regarding your phone number, mailing address, email address, or emergency contact information, please reach out to Mrs. Simmons in the elementary office!

8) Any bussing questions please contact Mr. Osweiler at kurt_osweiler@roseauschool.org and

Attention 4th, 5th, 6th grade parents-->Enrichment opportunity!

We have a study table available in the morning from 8am-8:25am and after school from 3:15-4:00pm Monday-Thursday for students in grades 4-6. If your child is struggling in any classes, needs some extra help, has some missing work, or needs a quiet place to get some work done, the study table is great place to get some work done! Your child does not need to sign up for this enrichment opportunity, all they need to do is show up.

Please reach out to your teacher or call Mr. Lingen with any questions.

*Please note if you use the afternoon session, please pick up your child by 4:05pm.

"ONE THOUGHT" from Mr. Lingen!

Having a 20 year old daughter and 22 year old son, I sure miss those elementary days with them. As a parent/guardian, enjoy the journey....even the tough times (which I know is hard!), but that adversity builds their character. Being a parent is tough at times, but so rewarding!
