We had a wonderful first week of school! The students all settled in to their new classrooms, and have adjusted terrifically! We know it is going to be a great year!
Please remember that Roderick School Open House has been scheduled for Thursday, September 19th. Grade 5 is scheduled from 6 PM - 7 PM, Grade 4 is from 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM, and Grade 6 is from 7 PM - 8 PM. We hope you can make it.
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce some new faces to the Roderick School staff this year.
Ms. Ashley Donaldson - Grade 6 Special Education Teacher
Ms. Susan Yelle - Grade 4 Teacher
Ms. Jennifer Downing - Grade 5 Teacher
Mrs. Colby Barrows - Grade 6 Paraprofessional
Mr. John Ribeiro - Math Curriculum Coach
Mrs. Joanne Summers - Academic Assistance Paraprofessional
Dr. Judy Neville - ELA Curriculum Coach
This year the Roderick School will have a Student Council. The objective of this group will be to talk with their classmates about concerns/initiatives in their classroom and/or the school. The Student Council will consist of one student from each homeroom in Grades 5 and 6. Students interested in serving on the Student Council must write a one paragraph letter of interest. This letter of interest must be received by the close of school on September 20th. The Student Council will meet on the first Wednesday of each month for about 40 minutes at about 1:00 PM. I would like to thank Mrs. Moon who has volunteered to work with me on the Roderick School Council.
As a reminder, all assignments for the 2nd Annual Summer Reading Olympics are due back on Friday, September 13th. If you need any information regarding our school's summer reading program, please visit http://www.wrentham.k12.ma.us/C7/C9/Summer%20Reading/default.aspx.
We are presently looking for individuals who would like to volunteer to serve on the Roderick School School Council. Meetings will be
held once a month immediately following school dismissal at 3 p.m. This
year, meetings will be held on the second Tuesday of the month and will rotate
between the Delaney and Roderick Schools. Please contact the Roderick office (508) 384 - 5435 if you are interested.
Medications:
If
your child requires medication (ex: Inhaler, EpiPen) to be kept at school,
please be sure to get it to Mrs. Prew as soon as possible. All
medications must be accompanied by a parental consent form and a signed
medication order from the physician. Medication orders need to be renewed
at the start of each school year. Blank medication forms can be found on
the school website, under ‘Health Services’ or obtained from Mrs. Prew in the
Health Office.
Parents
of Grade 4 students:
4th
grade physical forms are due. Please remember to turn in your child’s
form to Mrs. Prew in the nurse’s office. Physical forms must be dated
3/1/13 or later. Thank you to those who have already passed them in!
