Welcome To Roland Rogers Elementary School

Celebrating 20 Years of Academic Excellence!

Focusing on “Student Achievement” is the number one goal of the faculty, staff and administrators of the Roland Rogers Elementary School. Roland Rogers has approximately 553 students enrolled and 90 faculty and staff members. The school educates students in grades kindergarten to sixth, through the academic offerings in the four disciplines: math, language arts literacy, science / health and social studies. We also offer world language, physical education, art education, music education and library skills. Our special instructional programs include: English Language Learners, GEM (Galloway Enrichment Model), Special Education, and basic skills – Intervention program.

At Roland Rogers we pride ourselves in working towards providing a Bully-Free climate, parent outreach programs and an environment where students are guided toward becoming good citizens and contributing members of the school and community. The building’s major strength lies in the diversity that each individual possesses. We truly believe that each person has special qualities, which has a positive impact on the school climate.

Academically, Roland Rogers’ faculty and staff continue to meet the needs of our students. Working within a professional learning community collaborative model, our teachers are afforded opportunities to consistently plan together and examine the many aspects which contribute to student achievement. In 2010, all of our demographic groups within our elementary cluster, (grades 3-5), and our sixth grade level met the State’s assessment standards. In 2011, our sixth grade level once again met the State’s standards, but some sub-groups within the elementary cluster did not, which means we will be working harder to assess how students learn best, and how we can increase student achievement for all students!

We place great emphasis on having our students feel safe at school. Our guidance and career programs, Anti-Bullying / Bully Busting program, and Good Citizenship / Character Education programs are designed to educate our students, teach respect and build the self-esteem of all students.

We look forward to continuing our academic and social successes – but we cannot accomplish this by ourselves…we need you, our parents! Our parents and community volunteers play an enormous role in our school so please get involved and help us help your child succeed!

Welcome

Dr. Robin L. Moore, Principal

Mr. Michael Silvestri, Assistant Principal
