September Newsletter All About Roynon
September is a busy month at Roynon!
The 2018-19 school year is off to a great start. There are so many things happening this month. Here is just a highlight of a few of them:
Mrs. Nelson's Book Fair will be here the week of September 10th -14th. Thank you PTA for organizing this event for our students and families. Come join us for coffee on Monday morning in the MPR and do some shopping. The book fair will be open before and after school during the week. In addition, it will be open on Thursday evening from 5 - 7 pm. A percentage of all proceeds from the book fair goes towards library and classroom books.
Reflections Contest: We encourage you to inspire your student to enter the 2018 PTA Reflections Art Contest. Information was emailed home but can also be found below. All entries are due September 14.
Kindergarten dismissal time changes on Monday, September 17th. The new dismissal time for kindergarteners will be 1:20pm. Students will eat lunch at school.
La Verne Day at the Fair is September 19th. Our 2nd and 5th grade classes will be attending the fair field trip that day. Our Student Council will also have a float in the La Verne City Parade.
PTA is currently in the middle of their PTA Membership Drive. It ends on September 21st. Please consider joining PTA. More information can be found towards the end of this newsletter.

September is Attendance Awareness Month
Please work with us to ensure that your child receives the best education possible for him or her. One of the ways you can do this is to get your child to school on time everyday. We do realize that some absences are unavoidable. We understand that children will get sick and need to stay home occasionally. The important thing is to get your children to school as often as possible. Sporadic absences, not just those on consecutive days of school, matter. Before you know it – just one or two days a month can add up to nearly 10 percent of the school year.
If too many absences occur, it is still a problem whether they are excused or unexcused because they represent too much lost learning time in the classroom. Please try to line up vacations with our school calendar. Please try to schedule doctor and dentist appointments after school hours as well.
Research has shown that tardiness also has a negative impact on learning. Students who arrive even a few minutes late on a frequent basis receive fewer hours of instruction than students who are on time each day. Researchers also found that students who arrive late to school often miss out on important opening announcements and academic activities. This can affect your child both academically and socially. Please strive to have your student to school by 8:10 each day. This gives your child enough time to feel prepared for the day without feeling rushed.
We appreciate your efforts in working with us to make this a successful year for your child.
