Dear Rondout Families, Friends and Faculty,


Happy Friday... Hope the weather has not impacted your day too greatly. We did enjoy some fun in the snow during recess today. Please don't forget to send in those snowpants and winter weather gear as more snow is expected this weekend.


Family Reading Night was a huge success. Special thanks to Mrs. Jacob for organizing the event and to Ms. Slavin who did all the cooking for the spaghetti dinner. Thanks also to the faculty who joined us to help with the event. We had 43 families join us, we served over 155 people and enjoyed an evening focused on family conversation and communication. Reading together, spending time in conversation and enjoying dinner together as a family was the focus. It was great to see so many families and while reservations were required, we were able to accommodate everyone. Families shared a basket of books selected with their students and interests in mind. Mrs. Jacob did an amazing job of putting together 43 personalized bins of books so that each family had a range of books to read and discuss.  The family photos taken as families arrived will be emailed to our participants next week and we hope the photo will be a great keepsake and reminder of this special event. Your feedback is welcome, and we look forward to hearing from the families that attended. 


I think we are all finding it hard to believe that we will welcome February next week. Hundreds Day is just around the corner and K-2 is excited about this milestone celebration.


Friday, February 3, 2023, our students will have a half day with dismissal at 11:00 a.m. for (K-2) and 11:30 a.m. (3-8). Our teachers will be working on mandated trainings, curriculum work and reviewing student progress.  


The Basketball Season came to a close this week with several exciting games for both the boys' and the girls' teams. Look for more on the season statistics in upcoming flyers. Several new activities are also starting in February including the Rondout Robotics program, Art Club, Volleyball and the Kids Heart Challenge.


Looking forward to an exciting week ahead and the start of a fabulous February

Have a great weekend. Take care…Until next time...
