Dear Families,
I want to take a moment to thank our Rose community for managing the recent mask protocol changes with a kind heart. I know there are strong feelings about the decision, but thankfully it did not impact student learning. Staff led conversations with students about treating each other with kindness and respect as the change went into effect on Monday morning. Students were respectful towards each other and were mindful that people may have differing opinions, but choices were made by individual families and it was important to respect those choices. Students treated classmates with respect, regardless of mask status. Although the upcoming months may bring more change, I am confident that we can continue to get through changes and challenges together.
Please read below for important school and district news.
Last week, Rose students showed creativity, effort, and their knowledge of growth mindset. Congratulations to Miss Solymossy’s class on winning the Growth Mindset door decorating competition!
Rose welcomes Mrs. Jodi Johnson as our new school nurse. Jodi comes to us with 14 years of nursing experience and is a mother to a middle schooler. She can be reached at jajohnson@barrington220.org or 847-844-2151.

Valentine’s Day - Students at Rose will celebrate Valentine’s Day on Monday, February 14th. PTO room parents are planning classroom parties and fun activities to help students celebrate. Students can pass out valentines, but please make one for every student in the class.

On February 17th, MAP results will go out, and the 2nd grading period will end.

Warm regards,
Heather Schumacher, Principal

MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS MORE THAN EVER! SAVE THE DATE - February 24, 6:00-7:00 via Zoom
As we start the New Year and hopefully begin our healing from the past year (+)'s trauma of Covid and the losses associated with the virus, it is important we acknowledge the trauma many have experienced--both students and parents, recognize signs and symptoms of anxiety and stress of a traumatic stressor event, and embrace tools and techniques that will help us find balance and healing as we move forward post pandemic.
To register for the program, please complete this form. A link to the evening's presentation will be sent 24 hours ahead of the event.
