In the spirit of the season, we want to thank every parent, family, and teacher that has joined the PTA for the 2024-2025 school year. We are greater when we stand together and that's because of YOU! There is still time to join the PTA during our membership drive...and the class with the most PTA members by Dec. 12 will win a pizza party!
Memberships range from $10 for one person and $18 for a family. PTA meets the first Thursday of each month at 6:00 p.m.
ROGERS LANE ELEMENTARY SPIRIT WEEK
Before students leave for the Winter Break we will celebrate with a Rogers Lane Spirit Week! This will start during the week of December 16th.
JANUARY 3rd IS NOW A TEACHER WORKDAY
Friday January 3, 2025 is now a teacher workday. Students will be out of school for Winter Break starting December 23rd until January 3rd.
ANGEL TREE
We have a few more angels for our Angel Tree This program provides an opportunity for us to donate gifts to students in need. The Angel Tree is located in our main office. Each angel on the tree includes clothing sizes and a special gift idea for the student. Students are identified by numbers, not names, to respect family privacy.
If you are interested in providing gifts for an Angel Tree student, remember that whatever you give is most appreciated. You may choose one or more students. The signup sheet is located with our receptionist, Ms. Evans, in the main office. Be sure to write your name, the number you have chosen and your email.
Wrap the gift(s), attach the identification number to the gift(s) and bring them to the main office by Friday, December 13, 2024. I will notify parents when the gifts are available for pick-up.
Thank you all for your hard work and dedication to our students! ❤️
SUPPORT OUR DREAMBOX CHALLENGE
Our DreamBox Math Challenge continues, and we need your help to encourage our students to participate and reach their goals!
During the school day students will:
✅ Complete 5 lessons per week on DreamBox
✅ Track their progress on the hallway posters at school
✅ For every 100 lessons completed by their class, they’ll earn one raffle ticket for a chance to win a classroom pizza party!
On December 20th, we’ll announce the 3 lucky classrooms that will win a pizza celebration! The more lessons each class completes, the greater their chances of winning.
Let’s work together to make math learning fun and engaging. Your encouragement at home can make a big difference in motivating our students to challenge themselves and achieve their best.
A REMINDER ABOUT BIRTHDAYS & CUPCAKES
Families are welcome to send in healthy snacks for their child and his/her classmates to eat during lunch time. This year we are not permitting sweets (cupcakes, cookies, etc) to be passed out during the school day.
Our goal is to encourage healthy eating habits among students. Encouraging nutritious snacks supports students' overall well-being and aligns with the school's commitment to fostering a healthy environment.
Not all students can consume sweets due to allergies, dietary restrictions, or personal and religious beliefs. By avoiding sweets, the school ensures that all students feel included, and no one is left out or made to feel different because of their dietary needs.
The primary purpose of school is education. Birthday celebrations with sweets can be distracting and take away from valuable instructional time. By keeping celebrations simple and focused on the student rather than on the food, the school maintains a learning-focused environment.
