Rose Update

Stingray Joys of the Week!

This week, we celebrated some of the incredible people who help make our school such a joyful and welcoming place!

Administrative Professionals Day gave us the perfect opportunity to honor Mrs. Wagner and Mrs. Cocciemiglio for their amazing work in the front office. Their kindness, organization, and warm smiles help keep everything running smoothly—we're so lucky to have them!

We also recognized our amazing team of teaching assistants, who support students and staff in countless ways. A huge thank you to Mrs. Beveridge, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Wetter, Mrs. Gray, Mrs. Wildman, Mrs. Losch, Ms. Musson, Mrs. Darki, and Ms. O'Brien. We’d truly be lost without them!

Another highlight was our Picnic with the Principal for Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade students who redeemed their Rosebucks for this special reward. We enjoyed bubbles, music, and lunch in the courtyard—it was a blast! We’re looking forward to celebrating with 5th grade next week!

Best,

Dr. Ruesch

As you may know, our fifth-grade students learn about human growth and development as part of our science and health curriculum. Your child will work through these two lessons on the following date(s): May 13th and 14th.

These short lessons focus on changes associated with puberty - physical, social, and emotional changes, as well as personal hygiene, and positive health choices. We understand that the parent/caregiver is the primary educator for topics of this nature, and we are committed to this partnership. The lessons and materials that we use in our instruction are linked below for you to preview, along with additional resources for your reference.

If you have any questions, please reach out to your child’s teacher, and if you wish to have your child excused from this unit, please contact your school principal Dr. Cindy Ruesch cruesch@barrington220.org
