Rolling Hills Elementary
Weekly Newsletter - June 12, 2020
Hello RHE families!
In past years, we would have just completed our last full week of school before summer vacation. Although this school year, and the beginning of the summer, are different for all us, I am very proud of our community. Our students, parents, and teachers have continued to work together. More than ever it is important that we continue to take care of one another with kindness and love.
Below you will find information about the RHE renovations, summer resources, and other important topics.
Sincerely,
Sam
Student Item Pick-Up
Thank you to all of the staff that bagged all the student items. Also, thank you to all the staff that volunteered to help put the items in the car. Below is one picture of the hallway early this morning.
It was also wonderful to see so many smiling faces and families today. Below was an awesome surprise from the Marques family!
RHE Renovation - Update
During the "Stay-at-Home" order, the construction of Rolling Hills Elementary was stopped for several weeks. During that time Governor Wolf determined School Boards could vote to continue school construction projects. On April 2nd, at the School Board meeting, the Board voted to continue construction on Rolling Hills. However, due to the delay in construction, the renovations will not be complete by the end of the summer. We will begin the year at our current location of the former Richboro Middle School. Timelines are being created now with a tentative move back to RHE late in the fall. Stay tuned...

Summer Math and ELA Resources
Children need a break in the summer, but it's a great idea to provide opportunities for them to maintain their skills during these months. Below you'll to find a list of resources available to students to help them stay sharp in Reading and Math. These are activities that the children may find to be very entertaining. I highly suggest that parents take time to view these and share them with their children.
