Save the Date: Rowayton School Carnival 2023
Friday, May 5th + Saturday May 6th (raindate Sunday May 7)
Mark your calendars, prepare your special no-rain ceremonies, and get ready for a weekend to remember! We have moved the Rowayton School carnival up one week and away from Mother’s Day and wanted to give everyone ample time to get it in the books.
Want to join the committee?
We are looking for two more Rowayton School parents to join the lean and mean carnival committee. Email co-chairs Amy Esparza and Michelle Noe at AmyPaden1@gmail.com and levi.michelle@gmail.com with interest.
Interested in volunteering at carnival?
We will be sending a Sign Up Genius around to all families in March with plenty of opportunities to help out. Thanks in advance!
Have a local business? Want to be sponsor?
We are finalizing our event sponsors. If you are interested in supporting this community event email Ally Sylvestri allysylvestri@gmail.com.
When can I buy my bracelets?
Ticket sales will open online in early April and in person the week leading up to carnival.
Get pumped. It’s all for the kids.
Attendance Letters
Good attendance gives your child the best chance to be successful at school. We understand that sometimes children are sick and cannot be at school, but it is important for them to attend each day they are able. Students are considered chronically absent by the State of Connecticut when they have missed 10% of the current days of school. The total includes both excused and unexcused absences. This means that students with 18 or more absences at the end of the school year will be recorded as chronically absent. Please keep this in mind as there are still five months of school this year.
In order to support our community with attendance, we will be sending letters to families of students that are currently considered chronically absent at the end of each month. Please contact the office if you have any questions or if there is anything we can do to support you in ensuring that your child is at school.
