Rountree Report
April 2018
Welcome Back Winter:)
What happened to our spring weather? I am really missing the warmth of the sunshine today! I hope you had a fantastic weekend with your families. We have enjoyed some extra time with our oldest son who was home for Spring Break. Family time is so important and we really try to treasure it. We found a favorite new board game -- Settlers of Catan-- If you enjoy family games it is one I would highly recommend! Maybe we will see warm weather soon and can focus on all the fun outdoor activities!

Reminder
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.
We are still registering Kindergarteners! Spread the word!
