Dear Rowe Families,
I hope you all enjoyed the beautiful weekend and were able to get outside and enjoy the sunshine. It is hard to believe how quickly the 2021-22 school year is coming to a close. We just screened the majority of our new Kindergarten students last week. It is always exciting to welcome our new students and very bittersweet to say goodbye to our rising second graders as they move on to new and exciting experiences at Yarmouth Elementary School. We will have a Step-Up Day for rising first and second-grade students on Tuesday, June 14th. There will be more details on this to follow.
I am attaching the flyer for the Ice Cream Social coming up on June 1st here. This flyer was sent home in paper form in students’ folders recently. We are excited to bring back this wonderful tradition. This year, we will be hosting K-1 students and their parents along with older and younger siblings and new kindergarten families. A change from years past is that there will not be a Book Fair. We are hoping to bring the Book Fair back next year.
Temporary nursing change:
Our nurse Pam Christensen is currently on maternity leave. Our former nurse, Jen Chadwick, is her long-term substitute for the remainder of the school year. Pam will return to her position at Rowe for the start of school in the fall.
