Dear Roderick Families:

I hope the families of the Roderick School enjoyed themselves as much as our staff did during last night's Open House night.  I hope everyone had a chance to visit the whole school and had the opportunity to look at the curriculum materials being used at our school.  It was a pleasure to see so many parents.  Thank you for making the effort to attend Open House!

Congratulations to this week's Positive Referrals.  These students exhibited responsibility and helpfulness to their classes and the school.  We are very proud of you!  Keep up the great work!

 

In Mrs. Farrell's and Ms. Mager's fourth grade classroom, students were practicing their fluency doing “Fabulous Fluency."  Students had the chance to read, graph results, and receive constructive feedback.  Great job!

 

This week a KidStuff Coupon Book was sent home with one child per family.  If you wish to purchase the book, please return $25 in the envelope provided.  If you do not wish to purchase, please have your child return the book to their classroom teacher.  Our PTO earns at least 50% or more profit from the sale of these books.  Use just a few coupons and save more than the cost of the book! This is the PTO's main fundraiser this Fall!  Thank you for your support! E-mail wrenthampto@gmail.com with questions. 

 

The PTO will have its first meeting of the year on Tuesday, September 24th from 8:30 am-9:00 am in the Delaney conference room.  Please stop in for coffee and donuts.
