Message from Mrs. Kilday
Hello Rodman families.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend and were able to stay cool in this heat!
On very warm days like this we limit our outside time, use our air conditioners and have extra water on hand for our little friends.
This week's newsletter is packed with important information and end of the year events so please read it through.
Our last CAPT meeting of the year is on Wednesday, June 1st. I really encourage you to attend, especially if you are staying with us next year. This group has been amazingly supportive of our school and families and we want, and need, to continue that. We cannot do it without more parental involvement. Please join us and hear about upcoming plans and how you can be involved.
Finally, I want to address the violence we have seen in our country most recently, especially those related to hate and racism. It is unacceptable and only deepens our commitment here, in our little part of the world, in our integrated preschool, to providing a safe, inclusive, accepting and respectful environment for all of our students and families where everyone is valued and belongs. We are all affected by this trauma, but know that some are affected more deeply than others. Please know we see you and care deeply for you.
Have a wonderful night everyone.
Donna

Honor Thy Teacher
Honor Thy Teacher
A donation to CAPE's Honor Thy Teacher program is a wonderful way to recognize a specific teacher, staff person or administrator who has helped make a student's school year brighter. All donations support CAPE grants.
There are so many people in our schools who have a positive impact on our children every day. We are happy to honor them!
Visit CAPE to learn more or make a donation.
Update on Speech and Language Services
Art Show
After two years on hiatus because of Covid protocols, I am excited to share that we are able to host our annual spring art show once again in the CHS gymnasium. As always, the show will include artwork from every art student in the district, PreK-12. The show will be open for students and their families to visit from 6-8pm on Monday, May 23 - Thursday, May 26.
Each evening we will be hosting open studio activities for all ages in the CHS art rooms. This year's show will also feature a silent auction of artwork with proceeds benefiting the work that Doctors without Borders is doing to help Ukrainian refugees. All are welcome!
Kindergarten Field Trips
With the end of the year approaching we are planning our big Kindergarten visit field trip! Parents are welcome to join us as long as you have a current CORI on file. Please see Mrs. Crespi if you are not sure if you have one. We will be sending out permission slips and sign up forms on Monday. These must be returned by June 1st.
The trips are scheduled for 12:30-1:15 on the following dates:
6/7-Hansen
6/8-Kennedy
6/9-Luce
We will take a bus from Rodman to the school. Have a little tour, meet some people and generally have fun visiting our Kindergarten schools. This is not mandatory, so if you feel this is not a good idea for your child please just let us know.
End of Year Celebrations
The end of the school year is quickly approaching. We love to recognize all the accomplishments our students have made throughout the year. As you know, our students thrive on routine. Given our diverse group of learners, we want to make this a happy and successful celebration for all students involved. In knowing that, we strive to individualize our celebrations based on our student’s needs. Your child’s teacher will reach out with the plan for your child’s classroom celebration. Stay tuned for more details...we promise they are coming soon!
