Maturation Night

April 24, 2019 By K. Anderson

Yes, it’s almost time for “the talk.” 5th and 6th grade boys & girls and their parents are invited to attend maturation presentations by professional speakers. We encourage parents and their children to attend this free event together so conversations can continue in the home.  This is one of many events planned and supported by the wonderful Rosecrest PTA.

There will be delicious Crumble cookies to all the students and parents that survive the presentations.

Thursday April 25, 2019 6pm at Rosecrest Elementary

Planning for Next Year

April 3, 2019 By K. Anderson

August and the new school year may seem like a long time away but it’ll be here before we know it.  We have planned our faculty for the 2019-2020 school year and want to share this information with our community and parents.  Our teachers will be creating class lists during the month of April.  The class assignments will be made with the goal of balancing each class.  This means that we do not have a “high” or “low” academic class. If parents believe that their child has a unique need with regards to teacher and class placement they will need to come in to our office and complete a Patron Concern Form.  All Patron Concerns Forms must be submitted by April 18, 2019 in order to be considered for next year.  We are not able to accept requests for social or friendship issues.  Rosecrest will consider all requests but is unable to grant all requests. Class lists will be posted during the summer Registration Day in early August (date TBD).

Just like in previous years, Rosecrest students in grades 3-6 will rotate from teacher to teacher.  We find this to be an effective instructional strategy as it allows teachers to specialize in certain subject areas and allows students variety throughout the school day. So for example, if a parent believes that their child would benefit from having Mrs. So & So in the 3rd grade there is no need to request that teacher because all 3rd graders will spend half of their day with each 3rd grade teacher.
