Greetings Families and Staff,
Happy New Year and welcome back to Rondout. I hope that you all enjoyed winter break and had an opportunity to rest and recharge during the time off. Thank you to all the parents and families for their partnership this week, as we continue to navigate new guidance from the state on top of our return to school after break.
Our 8th grade families should have received communication from Libertyville High School regarding a virtual orientation presentation. 8th grade families should continue to look for information regarding course selection, counselor appointments and other information about the transition to high school.
For our younger students, this is a reminder that students should have snow pants and snow boots to play in the snow. A change of clothes is also important for our K-2 students to have at school, just in case! The snow is a wonderful opportunity to showcase our students’ creativity.
Our 3rd, 4th, and 5th, grade students participated in virtual field trips this week with Illinois State Beach Park. They learned lots of information about native bird species and the role they play in our ecosystem. A special thank you to Mrs. Jacob for providing additional information for students about birds.
On a final note, our spelling bee has been postponed to Wednesday 1/26. We look forward to cheering on our grade level winners during the school event.
Have a wonderful three-day weekend, and we look forward to seeing everyone next week.
Best,
Elizabeth Davis
