Hello RHE families!
I would like to thank the RHHSA and the Bingo committee for organizing and holding another wonderful Family Bingo event last Friday. The laughter, smiles, and family support truly make Rolling Hills a special place to learn and work every day!
The cold weather is coming! With the colder temperature, please be sure your child is dressed appropriately for outside weather. Unless the weather is extreme (rain or excessive cold, 22 degrees or below), children will have recess outside.
We are looking forward to Council Rock Education week. Please see below for specific details.

Boys Night Out
Come on out for a sports filled night of fun at The Sports Zone in Southampton.
Friday November 16th from 6:30-8:30 PM. Ticket sales run Sunday October 21st-Friday November 9th.
Please contact stefaniewhite402@gmail with any questions. See attached flyer for more details.
Parent/Teacher Conferences and Report Cards
Parent-Teacher conferences will take place this month (November 19th-21st) for all grades.
Please note the change in schedule during the week of November 19th:
- Students will have an early dismissal on Monday, November 19th (PM Kindergarten attends)
- Tuesday, November 20th (AM Kindergarten attends)
- Schools are closed for students on Wednesday, November 21st through Friday, November 23rd.
- School will resume on Monday, November 26th.
Due to circumstances beyond our control, report cards will not be available for printing in the HAC system in time for parent conferences. As such, you will not have a hard copy of your child’s report card prior to conferences. This will only impact grades 3-6 because grades K-2 do not receive a report card for the first marking period. If there are any questions about report cards after they become available in HAC on November 26th at 4:00 p.m., you can always contact the teacher for a follow-up discussion.
