• Make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep!
• Make sure your child eats breakfast (either at home or school)!
• Make sure your child attends school every day of testing!
• Talk to your child about these test taking strategies:
  • Remaining calm
  • Reading the questions carefully
  • Checking their completed answers carefully

The faculty, staff, and administration have been working hard to prepare our students for this testing period.  To further prepare our students, the following will take place:

• ASK      Pep Rally! – Friday, May 3^rd at 2:00 p.m. in the cafetorium.

From March 18th-22nd, we are Celebrating Music in Our Schools. March is Music in Our Schools Month. The purpose of MIOSM is to raise awareness of the importance of music education for all children – and to remind citizens that school is where all children should have access to music. MIOSM is an opportunity for music teachers to bring their music programs to the attention of the school and the community and to display the benefits school music brings to students of all ages.

St. Baldrick’s Day 2013

On Friday morning 550 students crowded into the Roland Rogers Elementary School cafeteria and chanted “Shave your head” as teachers had their hair cut off for a St. Baldrick’s Foundation fundraiser.

Since Feb. 19, the students and faculty raised more than $6,000 to donate to the foundation, a fundraising drive that culminated Friday morning on St. Baldrick’s Day.

For the fourth straight year, Roland Rogers staff members will be shaving their heads on March 15 in  an effort to raise money and awareness for childhood cancer research.  Last year alone, the St. Baldricks’s Foundation raised over $22 million worldwide!  If we reach our goal of $8,000, Mr. Silvestri will go bald!

We will be accepting donations in your child’s classroom beginning  February 19.   For every $5 a student donates, they will have a “Lucky Charm” placed in the lobby with their name on it.  A random drawing will be held on March 14 and prizes will be awarded to those winning students’ homerooms.

Cash and checks made out to “St. Baldrick’s Foundation” will be accepted in the classroom.  You can also donate online using the following link:  http:/www.stbaldricks.org/events/rolandrogers

Come Celebrate the Love of Reading with Your Children

Read Across America is an annual reading motivation and awareness program created by NEA, National Education Association, that calls for every child in every community to celebrate reading on March 1st, the day before the birthday of beloved children’s author Dr. Seuss.

The Purpose of Read Across America

Motivating children to read is an important factor in student achievement and creating lifelong successful readers. Research has shown that children who are motivated and spend more time reading do better in school.

Parents are invited into the school to read to their child’s class. They can contact their child’s teacher.
