School's out for summer!

Today is the LAST DAY of school, and it is a HALF DAY, 12:10 dismissal.

Important Message from the Transportation Department

As we begin to draw the school year to a close, we are busy planning for the 2024-2025 school year and would like to request your assistance!


If your child will need, and is eligible for, bus transportation, please follow the instructions below to make your request in Parent Connect.


PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR REQUEST AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.


To assist us with building the bus routes with anticipated limited staff/drivers, we ask that you ONLY request transportation if your family plans to utilize the service on a regular basis (you plan to use the bus M-F or plan to use the bus for part of the week: M, W, F, for example). Please do not request transportation as a “back-up plan” if your family does not intend to utilize the service. We appreciate your thoughtful approach to making your request.

If your child has transportation via an IEP, you do not need to register, as those arrangements will be made separately for your child.

Livonia Public Schools provide bus service for students who live more than 1.0 mile from school (grades K-6) and more than 1.5 miles for grades 7-12, as determined by the district’s routing software mapping system.

IMPORTANT:

If your child will be in the ACAT, MACAT, MSC or CAPA magnet programs next year, please make your transportation request by CLICKING ON THIS FORM instead of filling out the update on Parent Connect.


INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Log into Parent Connect (you may access from the LPS website, under the Parents tab or via your school website’s Parents tab). This process is most easily completed on a computer, rather than on a cell phone.

2. Once you are logged in, click on the “Back to School Checklist” red link at the top of the screen.


3. From there, click on the “Update Information” button next to the “Updates Incomplete” message that appears in red.

4. Click on “Transportation,” then select “Yes” from the mini-dropdown menu in the center of the screen.

5. Click on “Updates Complete” and then “Return to main menu” at the top left. Your request will automatically be submitted to our Transportation Department. Routes will be posted in late August in Parent Connect, under the Transportation section.

Thank you for assisting us with our pre-school-year planning!

Books, books, books!

zoom_out_map

Through a generous grant, all LPS Kindergarten-fifth grade students are receiving FREE books to take home over the summer, to KEEP! Rosedale students were offered an "order form" allowing them to choose up to 7 books per student. Those books will be handed out to students this week, and unless they are keeping one at school, will be sent home in backpacks/bags.



Thank you to our awesome support staff for organizing this huge task and thank you to our district for offering a wonderful opportunity for our young readers!

Happy Summer! Tips from Care Solace

zoom_out_map

Summer is just around the corner, and it's time to start planning your warm-weather activities! As you make your summer to-do list, prioritize self-care and well-being.

  1. Embrace the great outdoors. Spending time outside has numerous benefits, such as reducing stress and anxiety, improving mood, and boosting creativity. Consider activities like walking, hiking, biking, gardening, or relaxing in a shady park.
  2. Make time for loved ones. It's easy to get caught up in our daily routines and miss out on quality time with friends and family. This summer, prioritize reconnecting with your loved ones through shared meals, game nights, movie nights, or simply picking up the phone for a catch-up call.
  3. Prioritize sleep. During busy times, our sleep habits can suffer. Make an effort to establish a consistent sleep schedule and give your body the rest it deserves.

Most importantly, have fun and do something that brings you joy each day. Whether trying a new hobby, indulging in a favorite activity or simply taking time to relax and unwind, make sure to prioritize your happiness this summer.

If you or a family member are struggling with mental health or substance use issues, remember that help is available. Care Solace, a complimentary and confidential coordination service provided by Livonia Public Schools, is available 24/7/365 throughout the summer to help you find mental health care or substance use treatment providers. Call 888-515-0595 for multilingual support or visit caresolace.com/livonia to search for providers on your own or receive assistance through video chat, email, or phone.


We wish you a happy and healthy summer break, and we'll see you again soon!

Being principal at Rosedale has been such a pleasure, and my experiences here helped to make me who I am today. I hope my legacy is one that fosters a balance between high academic standards and strong behavior expectations. I believe in our school's mission, and that every single student makes a difference.
