rose lane principal letter...
The weather has been so beautiful during November, and there are so many things to be grateful for at Rose Lane! The cool air is refreshing; the students know our school procedures and routines; our grade-level teams are planning very effective instruction to helping kids to grow; we are looking forward with confidence to our upcoming MAP test in December; and we have enjoyed seeing so many parents on campus as lunch visitors, art masterpiece volunteers, and in classrooms.
Families, your generosity during Thanksgiving Sharing has been inspiring. We have raised nearly $2,200 in donations so far, and I appreciate Mrs. Mersch, Mrs. Merrill, Rocket Boosters, and Madison Christian Church for leading our efforts towards our goal of $3,000. Thank you all for helping to maximize our community spirit through Thanksgiving Sharing. If you would like to contribute to this effort, here is the link: https://givebutter.com/roselane2022
We have come so far from where we were last year, in so many ways! We have more students enrolled this year; more students on campus each day; field trips, performances, and special events are on the calendar; and we are able to enjoy being a part of a community that is thriving and healthy once again. As Thanksgiving of 2022 gets closer by the minute, I want to share how much we appreciate each of you for selecting Rose Lane as your school of choice. We love all of our students, and are so grateful to you, their loved ones and family members. Best wishes to you for a safe, healthy, bountiful, and wonderful Thanksgiving break which will begin this Wednesday. We will return to campus on Monday November 28th, and we will jump into the last few weeks of the semester with excitement and appreciation for our school. Thank you for being our partners!

news from rose lane's assistant principal...
Hello Wonderful Rose Lane Families,
I can’t believe how fast this year is going by! It blows my mind that we are almost through November.
I wanted to thank everyone who helped put together our amazing fall carnival this year and also to everyone who attended, it was a blast! It is truly one of my favorite nights of the school year.
I wanted to remind you all that next month will be our school MAP testing. Remember, the MAP tests are for reading and for math. The tests adjust as the students answer questions either correctly or incorrectly. We are then provided with a score after our students finish the test. This score is used to assist teachers in differentiating their instruction based on each student's individual needs. Please see the schedule below for testing in December.
I also wanted to let you all know that I had the pleasure of attending the BET-C Conference this Thursday. This conference is held every year for educators. BET-C focuses on professional development related to positive behavior reinforcement and social emotional wellness for students. I was lucky enough to attend again this year and learned so many great strategies to support your kiddos here at Rose Lane.
I wanted to close by saying that I hope all of you enjoy the holiday weekend coming up next week. Please enjoy the time with your kiddos and hopefully get some much needed rest. Until next time, take care!
Your Rose Lane Assistant Principal,
Andre Reyes

Greetings Rose Lane Families,
Walking around campus and seeing beautiful planters filled with flowers and greens brought on the feeling of gratitude. Thankful to all the Rose Lane families who came out to help with Love Our School’s day along with families who year after year support the Rose Lane Rocket Boosters to put on events like Love Our School’s day.
Thank you for coming out or ordering out at the Lou Malnati’s dine out!
Our team was overwhelmed with the total from the holiday fundraiser, $16.232. Thank you so much for your purchases and thank you, Pearl Sanchez, for organizing this fundraiser.
Thanksgiving Sharing has started! Rocket Boosters is collecting through GiveButters.com to purchase gift cards that go directly to Rose Lane families. The final day is November 22nd.
Many thanks to Alex Castaneda for taking the lead on putting together our Fall Carnival!! We were delighted to see all the generous volunteers who spent their day preparing for the carnival, plus all the parents, grandparents, caregivers, and young people who donated their time to the playful classroom booths. Your contribution gave our children a night we hope they remember. Many thanks to all of you!
Rocket Boosters wishes you and your family a safe holiday, health, and quality time spent with loved ones, to each and everyone one of our Rose Lane Families.
With much appreciation,
Rocket Boosters
