Greetings from Rosemount High School! The start of the 2023-2024 school year is quickly approaching and we are thrilled to welcome back ALL students for the first day of school on Wednesday, August 30. The purpose of this communication is to provide important reminders for key dates, events, and other start of the year information. While this message contains a large amount of information and links, it is all-inclusive and should be referenced first when questions arise from students and families. Please visit the RHS website for updated information.

More than ever, we look forward to focusing on our work with students, establishing positive relationships, and helping and supporting them through the learning and growth process. We ask that our community come together to keep students at the center. Please assume positive intentions and a student focused approach when working with teachers, administrators, and other staff throughout the year. Students benefit from strong connections between school and home; we are better when working together!

Go Irish!! ☘️

Sincerely,

Pete Roback

Principal

District 196 offers an optional Yearly Protection Plan to families for $20 per iPad to cover the cost of potential theft and damage throughout the school year. The plan is free for students eligible for the Educational Benefits Program, so it is recommended that parents and guardians complete that application first. The Educational Benefits application is available at District196.org; select Services from the main menu, then Nutrition Services.

All families are asked to review and acknowledge the iPad Student User Agreement and either accept or decline the optional Yearly Protection Plan by Sept. 18, 2023. Until that date, the district will cover damages (not loss) to allow families time to complete the review and sign-up process. After Sept. 18, until the Yearly Protection Plan is accepted, the family is responsible for any costs associated with loss or damage of the iPad as defined in the Yearly Protection Plan details. Families can accept the Yearly Protection Plan at any time throughout the school year by logging into their MyPaymentsPlus account, searching for “iPad” and selecting the desired option to accept or decline the protection plan. Both options ask to review and acknowledge the Student User Agreement. For directions on using MyPaymentsPlus or creating an account, go to District196.org, select Community from the main menu, then Family Resources. For assistance, families should contact their child’s school.

For the 2023-2024 school year, meals are free for all students. All families are highly encouraged to complete an Application for Educational Benefits (below). Your approved application provides critical funding to our school district. This compensatory aid helps increase funding for teachers, paraprofessionals and social workers to include math and reading support. An approval for educational benefits also allows families to receive discounted Activities/Athletics/Community Education fees.
