Dear Rondout Families, Faculty and Friends,
Happy Wednesday … Happy Autumn…
On Thursday our students will be enjoying activities tied to ecological literacy. K-2 will be learning about animal homes and 6-8 will be immersed in a “pond study” with skills and tools that can be applied to our own wetland area. The 3-5 cluster will be meeting Birds of Prey and learning more about their role in the ecosystem. Look for a photo update after the activities to get a closer look at the learning that our students enjoyed.
Tuesday October 3rd is a 2:30 release day for all students K-8. Please make a note of
Please mark your calendar for our Open House on October 12th. We will have a 2:30 dismissal for all students that day to allow us to prepare the building for the event.

Then at 6:40 p.m., the doors open to families to tour the building and enjoy the art, work displays, music and visits to classrooms. Doors will close at 7:45 p.m. so everyone can get back home to prepare for the next school day.
