Welcome Back to the 2025/2026 School Year

Dear RWA Families,

Welcome back to another exciting year at Rollingwood Academy! We are so happy to see both familiar faces and new families joining our community. The start of a school year is always filled with energy, anticipation, and a sense of possibility. For our students, it means making new friends, diving into fresh discoveries, and building confidence in a safe and nurturing environment. For parents, it is a chance to watch your children grow and flourish as they explore, create, and learn each day.

At Rollingwood Academy, we are committed to providing an experience that blends hands-on exploration, outdoor learning, and strong foundational skills. Our teachers have been preparing their classrooms and planning meaningful lessons that will spark curiosity and inspire growth. We look forward to partnering with you this year to create lasting memories and help each child reach their fullest potential. Together, let’s make the 2025/2026 school year a remarkable one!

We truly appreciate your patience and mindfulness during the first few weeks as everyone settles into new routines. Thank you for your continued support and for sharing your children with us. We look forward to another year of growth, joy, and discovery at Rollingwood Academy!

Fondly,
