 Reminders

  • Please label EVERYTHING (backpack, lunchbox, snack, water-bottles, jackets). Often times children do not know what is theres or children will have the same/similar belongings. The teachers greatly appreciate your help with this as it makes things run much smoother!

  • Missing paperwork from your child’s file must be turned into the office as soon as possible.

    • This includes the signed parent handbook form, medical health form, immunization record, a copy of your child’s birth certificate, signed admission agreement, and a complete registration form. We will be sending notices out for any missing paperwork next week.

  • Tuition for Installment 2 is due no later than Thursday, September 15th. Payments made after the 20th will be charged a $25.00 late fee on their next month’s installment.

    • School wide, we are having some issues with Quickbooks. PLEASE ensure you receive an invoice on the 1st of every month. If you do not, please contact admin as soon as possible and we will resolve the issue. If you have automatic payments set up, please always confirm that payment goes through.

  • Illness

    • Please notify the school when your child is sick. Any child with a fever must be fever free for 24 hours before returning back to school.

  • Gate Duty

    • When picking up your child please say your child’s name as we are learning many new faces! Also, to keep the line moving we ask that you pull your car all the way up before getting out of the car to retrieve your child from staff. If you plan to walk all the way up to the door, we ask that you park in the parking lot or street to pick up your child.

  • Class Dojo

    • All class dojo invites have been sent! Please check your junk/spam mail if you have not seen the invite. If you need another invitation sent please contact administration.

We appreciate your patience and mindfulness with the first few weeks of school, as it is an adjustment for all! We look forward to a great year with your child!

As always, thank you for sharing your children with us and showing your continued support.

 Fondly,

Rollingwood Academy Administration
