We will be spending the evening sharing strategies that can help strengthen reading at home, showing how the strategies shared are tied to the work in the classrooms, and examining how the support from home can improve test scores.

We will also share important information about and collect feedback on our TItle 1 Plan.

A light dinner will be served.

• Thursday, October 17 - Friday, October 18 - Fall Break, No School

Starting Monday, October 21, 2024, Roseville Area Schools will enforce the Minnesota immunization law. This is crucial for maintaining healthy and safe school communities. Here's what you need to know:

Students must meet one of the following criteria to continue attending school:

• Have received all required immunizations
• Have a scheduled immunization appointment
• Have submitted a notarized exemption form

Starting October 21, 2024:

• Students who do not meet the immunization requirements will be instructed to stay home until the requirements are met.
• These absences will be marked as unexcused.

Why this matters:

• This policy helps protect our most vulnerable students, who are unable to receive vaccines.
• It minimizes the time students miss due to disease outbreaks, as those not immunized may be required to stay home per the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH).

If your student is missing any immunizations, you will receive a notice from the school's health office. Please respond promptly to ensure your student can remain in school.

For questions or concerns, contact your school’s health office.

We are only 120 pounds away from our challenge to collect 1000 pounds of plastic to receive a new bench from NexTrex for our playground.

Let's make this happen! Please continue to bring your plastic to the Harambee Main Office or Friendship/Unity any time during our normal operating hours. Any amount makes a difference.

Thank you to everyone for your support.

Our next PTO meeting is tonight at 6:00 in the Harambee Media Center. If you are not able to make it in person, you can join us via Zoom by using the link below.
