Rountree Report
January 2018
Happy New Year!
Welcome back! We hope you had a wonderful holiday season and are ready for a fantastic start to 2018!
You will notice a different face in the office when we return. Mrs. Lesa Haase, retired Sherwood principal, will be filling in for me for a couple of weeks as I recover from a surgery. Please help welcome her to our Rountree community!

Reminders
Tardies/Attendance
- School begins promptly at 8:50. Please make sure your child arrives on time to begin the day of learning. Each minute is valuable and when a child misses work in the morning it gets the day off to a rough start. Attendance percentage is figured off of minutes in attendance not just full days. Several district choice programs use attendance as a part of the application process. The best opportunity for academic success exists when a child is at school each day.
Winter weather
- Please make sure to dress your child for the weather. We go outside--even for just a few minutes in cold weather. Children need gloves, coats, and hats to bundle up for those cold recesses.
