Rose Update

What an unforgettable Valentine's Day at Rose! ❤️

From start to finish, the day was filled with friendship, kindness, support, and teamwork—a true reflection of our Stingray Strong spirit.

Our amazing parents helped make the day extra special by organizing fun-filled classroom parties, complete with creative activities, delicious treats, and plenty of laughter. A huge thank you to our thoughtful families who sent beautiful flowers and sweet treats to the front office—your kindness and generosity are so appreciated! Throughout the day, the halls were alive with joy, smiles, and a whole lot of love, reminding us all of the incredible community we have at Rose.

The excitement of the day ended with an incredible 5th-grade basketball game, where students and staffed played against each other, all the while cheering each other on, demonstrating sportsmanship and team spirit. It was truly a Valentine’s Day to remember, and we are so grateful to everyone who made it so special. Rose was the place to be! 💕

Warmly,

Dr. Ruesch

All personal electronic devices such as cell phones must remain in students’ lockers or can be given to classroom teachers for safe keeping throughout the school day. Smart watches may be worn, but they must be set to Schooltime or disabled for texting and calling during school hours (8:00-2:40).

This minimizes disruptions and distractions to the instructional day and maintains a productive learning environment for all students. We'd like to communicate the district's existing personal electronic devices expectations to minimize distractions and enhance face-to-face classroom connections:

Digital Mobile Devices are not permitted in learning environments. Devices must remain powered down and out of sight during class time.

Help others see the world more clearly by donating your gently used eyeglasses.
There’s a donation box in the lobby for your convenience.

All donations go to the Lions Club to support those in need of vision care.

Thank you for making a difference!
