Save the Date
March 2 is our Open House and the beginning of our Spring Book Fair. We hope to see you at Open House. It's a great opportunity to get an update on the excitement of the year. We have lots of success to celebrate.
We will also begin field trips for grades in the coming weeks. We love to have parent chaperones. If you are available to attend, please sign up on the Volunteer Program. Information is located at the bottom of this newsletter. Also, please check out our ROE Learning Commons Newsletter below. We have a lot of amazing things taking place in our Learning Commons.
