From the Principal's Desk
Hello Rose Pioneer Families,
We are hitting our learning stride as we head toward the end of the second trimester on March 12th! We are also busy finalizing plans for several upcoming events, including Y5/Kindergarten Enrollment (March), Kindergarten and 5th grade end of the year celebrations (June), and Field Day (June).
Please watch for a communication coming from your child's teacher regarding Parent Teacher Conferences, which will be done virtually again in March. If computer access is an issue, you can request a phone conference; our goal is to reach 100% participation for conferences.
If you or someone you know is looking for information on Y5/Kindergarten Enrollment, have them contact my office via phone or email, or direct them to school website enrollment page at: https://www.hask12.org/prospective-families/enrollment/ More specifics will be communicated in the next couple of weeks, so watch for details on an informational district video, virtual information sessions, Q & As, and more!
We are also planning for our end of the year activities, including our annual Kindergarten and Fifth Grade Celebrations, as well as Field Day. Pioneer Parents will be assisting in the planning, as usual, and more details will be communicated as we determine the safest way to accomplish these activities using our protocols and the potential status of the pandemic in June.
Thank you for your continued support!
Sincerely,
Michael Beattie
