Dear Rondout Families, Friends and Faculty,


Last night’s Winter Band Concert was a wonderful showcase for our Rondout musicians. From the beginning band to the wind ensemble, each performance highlighted the talents of the newest members of the band program to the most seasoned eighth graders. Thanks to all who attended the performance and supported our wonderful musicians. Ms. Ausmann does a terrific job of building a strong foundation for developing strong musicianship. Bravo to all on a job well done and a great concert. Be sure to mark your calendar for the school-wide Music in Our Schools Concert on March 8th. We will be performing in the LHS large auditorium since all grade levels and students will be showcased.


Today our K-5 students enjoyed a great virtual field trip Behind the Scenes with the Shedd looking at the Amazon Rainforest. We’ve enjoyed a few of these special trips over the past two years and it’s a great way to get up close and personal from the vantage point of our classrooms. 


Here are some things on the horizon for our students and families. Tuesday February 7th is our monthly early dismissal at 2 p.m. (K-2) and 2:30 (3-8). K-2 will also be celebrating 100’s day so K-2 parents please check the information you received from your child’s homeroom teachers to get ready for the special activities that day.    


The Upper School Valentine’s Dance will return this year on February 10th from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. It’s been a few years since we’ve had the dance. The dance will have a live DJ, games and other fun activities. It’s a time for the students to gather and have fun as a group. Having a “date” is not the focus and students can dress up or come in their regular school attire.  Snacks will be provided. We will ask parents to sign out their students when they pick them up. Please be sure to RSVP for the dance so we can prepare for snacks, seating etc.


We have moved the next family day of service to Saturday March 4th and the focus will be on service to animals in need. We are partnering with Orphans of the Storm who will be bringing some of their doggie friends to join us for inspiration. We will be making blankets, cooking up some enrichment treats and having a pet food/toy drive. We will also be collecting from March 1st through our day of service on March 4th. The activities will take place between 10 a.m. and 12 noon. Hope your schedule permits your family to join us. Children must be accompanied by an adult.


Please mark your calendars for Special Seniors Day which will take place the morning of April 28th, which is a half day. We are looking forward to bringing back this beloved Rondout tradition.  The events will take place between 8:30 and 11:00 a.m. with specific times for each cluster. More details will follow in the weeks ahead, but we wanted you to add this to your calendar and alert your “Special Seniors”.


We will be celebrating President’s Day on Monday February 20th and school will not be in session. 


We are working on the last interscholastic sports schedule and will get that out to you as soon as possible so you can plan ahead for April and early May. 


Looking forward to continuing to support our students' academic, life skill and arts experiences as well as providing for an enriching and engaging environment.   State testing is scheduled to begin after Spring Break the month of April so please plan accordingly.


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