Dear Rose Families,
We are definitely back in the swing of things at Rose School and our students have been doing an amazing job with following the routines and procedures and having a positive mindset towards new learning opportunities. Please read below for important school and district news.
5 Essentials Survey - Please click here to read about the Illinois 5Essentials Survey. The access link to take the survey is included in the letter. Your participation and feedback is valued and appreciated.
We have been MAP testing students in grades two through five and will continue testing next week. The district testing window has been extended a bit so we will be able to offer make-ups to students on quarantine when they return through January 31st.
As a reminder, if your child has any flu-like symptoms, please keep your student home from school and call our school nurse. Mrs. Johnson can be reached at jajohnson@barrington220.org and her phone number is 847-842-2151. Additionally, Bridget Heroff, our District Nursing Coordinator, will be supporting our school during this transition time and on weekends. Her email is bheroff@barrington220.org and her phone number is 847-842-3570.
COVID Updates - We have five positive student COVID cases reported at Rose School this week and fourteen students in quarantine. We have no positive staff cases to report. You can also check the district COVID Dashboard for up-to-date district COVID information if you have additional questions about positive cases and quarantines.
Our boys’ and girls’ fifth grade basketball teams have been hard at work practicing and strategizing. All of their effort has paid off and they have found victory while playing against other elementary schools in Barrington over the past week.
Regards,
Heather Schumacher, Principal

Substitute Teachers
The shortage of substitutes statewide is affecting all schools in our district. If you or anyone you know is qualified, please follow the link and fill out an application today! Please note, a valid licensure through the Illinois State Board of Education is required to work as a substitute teacher in the classroom. Questions? Contact Monica Shore at mshore@barrington220.org.
Lost & Found
The Rose Lost & Found is overflowing. Please remind your children to look for their lost belongings in the Lost & Found which is located in the house on the southwest side of the cafeteria.
Help us get lost belongings back to your children by putting their names in their jackets, hats, snow pants, boots, lunchboxes, water bottles, etc.
Lunchroom Volunteers
We are looking for help in the lunchroom. Please consider volunteering for a day to supervise and help us maintain our safety protocols as students eat lunch. Your consideration is much appreciated! Sign up HERE for JANUARY.
