Happy New Year!
Greetings from Rosemary School! We hope you have had an active and enjoyable summer filled with many opportunities to learn and grow. In the 2017-18 school year Rosemary will be joining a national network of schools called EL Education. EL Education is a 25 year-old organization that grew out of a partnership between Outward Bound USA and the Harvard Graduate School of Education. EL Education schools are bound together by an expanded understanding of student achievement that prioritizes not only mastery of grade-level skills and knowledge, but that puts equal importance on the development each student's character - challenging every child to develop into model citizens in our community. We are very excited about what this powerful model for great schools will bring Rosemary students.
In the second week of August you will receive an important packet of information from the school. Please read it all very carefully. Of particular importance is the yellow Emergency Contact Form. We MUST have this form on file for every student so that our office staff can contact parents.
Take note of our attached uniform policy: Navy blue and white shirts with khaki or navy blue pants - no jeans.
School begins promptly at 8:05. Breakfast is available beginning at 7:30 a.m. Students who do not eat breakfast are welcome at 7:45 a.m.
We will NOT post class lists. Class assignments will be available in the office according to this schedule. BRING THE COMPLETED YELLOW PARENT/STUDENT INFORMATION CARD AT YOUR APPOINTED TIME.

The first day of school is Wednesday, August 23.
After students are settled in their classrooms on the first day, parents are invited to the Cafeteria for coffee and a general information meeting with the Principal at about 8:20 am.
Kindergarten families will soon be receiving an invitation to the August 14 Kindergarten Round-up. The round up is a time when students come to school for a brief pre-assessment before being placed in classes.
It's going to be a marvelous year!
