Grandparents' Day is TUESDAY!
On the Tuesday before Thanksgiving break, we invite all Grandparents and Special Friends to join us for a Grandparents' Day celebration. The event usually features performances by the Lower School, Middle School, and Upper School Choirs and Tumblers. Though we cannot sing or tumble together this year, we are still having a Grandparents' and VIP Day on November 24th from 12-1pm. We hope someone from each family can join in on the lunchtime fun.

Critical Conversations
Monday, December 7 from 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm - We are proud to host another Critical Conversation with our Evanston Schools. The conversation will be based on the themes of student wellness and technology highlighted in the new documentary Childhood 2.0. We encourage our US students and parents to watch this free documentary (via Youtube) prior to our group discussion.
Yoga with Ms. Avery
Ms. Averyis proud to be able to offer a virtual Yoga class through the Phoenix Yoga Project. You might be aware that Roycemore Alum, Scott Kinsloe founded the Phoenix Yoga Project as a way to provide free yoga classes to people throughout the Chicagoland area. While many PYP in-person classes have been suspended, Scott has pivoted to begin offering virtual classes via Zoom. Every Saturday, you can join the hour-long Saturday yoga class at 10 am CST. If you are interested please register here: https://www.phoenixyogaproject.org/. We look forward to "seeing" you on your mat!
Social Opportunities
In an effort to provide students some opportunities to interact socially, to lessen the feelings of isolation that can come with going to school remotely, we will be offering some opportunities to do so. Interested? Please see the communication from Mrs. Rivera and sign up!
Admissions Morning
We will be holding our first Admissions Morning of the school year on December 8th from 8:30-10am, virtually. Please invite friends and neighbors who might be interested in finding out more about what makes Roycemore different and unique. This event will also feature a panel for High School students, please help us spread the word!
Final Exams
Finals for first semester will take place Tuesday-Friday, December 15-18. I ask that as you make holiday plans you make sure students are in attendance at school, whether virtual or on-campus, through the entire week. Students will not be given the option to take a final exam either early or late due to absence, and a student who does not take the final as scheduled may receive a zero for that exam. We appreciate your help in making sure students are present and ready for finals.
Winter Mini Courses!
After the successful launch of new online Summer Camp courses earlier this year, Roycemore School has decided to keep the fun going with weekend/evening mini courses starting in January. Families wondering how to keep kids engaged during the winter months will be happy to learn that four virtual options will be available this winter for students in 4th through 12th grades. These courses will help students hone their creative and critical thinking skills, while also providing an additional academic challenge. Interested? Mini Courses have been posted on Social Media:
