Greetings Rondout Families, Faculty and Friends,


Autumn winds are sweeping in as summer bids a fond farewell. We are on “last call for the edible garden”. We will be doing a pop-up harvest party based on weather during the next two weeks to wrap up picking the last vegetables of the season.  Stay tuned for dates and times.  


Next Wednesday, at 9 a.m. weather permitting, we are looking forward to the official “grand opening and ribbon cutting” of the Rondout Nature Preserve. The quick ceremony and tour will celebrate the completion of the project. If you are not free to join us then, we will also be hosting tours from 6:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Thursday October 20th prior to the start of this year’s school wide Open House. Doors open for the Open House at 6:30 p.m. and all staff will be present.


Parents of students in grades 5 through 8 should be on the lookout for information regarding the upcoming Candor Health programs ( formerly the Robert Crown Center). Digital copies will be sent home along with print copies sent via the US Postal Service.

 

Our first Zoom “Coffee Talk” for Parents will be this coming Wednesday from 7:30 to 8:00 p.m. and we welcome your participation.


Have a lovely long weekend. Take care… Be safe…Until next time

Dr. Jenny Wojcik

Superintendent

An Important Note

From Ms. Davis

Dear Parents and Families,  

It has been a truly wonderful week here at Rondout. Our K-2 classes had the perfect morning yesterday to take a ride on the antique fire truck from Libertyville Fire Department. It is a great tradition, and special experience for our young learners. Additionally, students who submitted posters for the annual Libertyville Fire Department Poster Contest had their posters judged on the theme “Don’t Wait, Plan Your Escape.” Congratulations to all of our class winners!  

In looking to the weeks ahead, be sure to mark your calendars for the first ever Rondout Family Fun Run on Saturday, October 29. We invite students and families of all ages to run a 1.5 mile course on the Rondout grounds. Be on the lookout for registration and more information soon!  

I hope that everyone enjoys the three day weekend and beautiful autumn weather.  

Best wishes,  

Elizabeth Davis 

Principal
