No visitors will be allowed entry without ID. Seating is first come, first served. The front row of seats are reserved. There will be additional standing room to the sides and back of the seats.
There are no early pick up directions for this date as we expect the concert to end right before dismissal.

Any Rowayton students that attend this game are invited to perform the National Anthem on the ice before the game. Students have learned the National Anthem during Music classes with Miss Londono. She will be there to conduct the performance and cheer on the Islanders!

As the temperatures drop, it is important that all students wear or bring a coat to school for recess. A oat is and additional covering that students can wear when outside, not a fleece or sweatshirt. We will try to be outside for recess as long as the weather allows, so students must be dressed appropriately to participate. Hats, gloves, and ear muffs are also encouraged. Consider putting your child's name or initials inside any items so that they can be easily identified if they end up in the Lost and Found. The Lost and Found will continue to be displayed on the wall in the cafeteria.

The Invention Convention is an exciting event each year where we get to see our students' ideas and creations on display. Please see the attached document for information on being part of the Invention Convention at Rowayton in 2025. Mrs. Mendez will host a Zoom meeting on December 17th at 6:00pm for families with questions about the process. A link will be sent as the date approaches.
