"ROCK'in" Weekly Update Dec. 10





Kindergarten Registration Has Begun!


Kindergarten Registration for the 2022-2023 school year opened virtually on December 1, 2021, and will go until March 31, 2022. This will allow our families to register their children from the comfort of their homes or office. Please click here to start the Virtual Registration process. This will schedule a telemeeting with you.

When registering, parents should be prepared to upload the following:

  • proof of residency (ie. mortgage or property statement or signed lease agreement)
  • proof of immunizations
  • proof of age
A physical examination is also required and a dental certificate is requested for entry into kindergarten. These examinations should be done up to one year prior to the first day of school. Children who enter kindergarten this fall must be five years of age on or before December 1, 2022.

Bundle up and Label Those Clothes

The cold weather is upon us! Please keep in mind that our students will continue to go outside for recess and physical education class. If the temperature is 20 degrees Fahrenheit or above, recess can take place outside. If the temperature is below 20 degrees Fahrenheit (this includes factoring in the WINDCHILL), recess will be indoors. Please be sure to send your child daily with the appropriate clothing for the weather: Coat, boots, snow pants, hat, and gloves. This is also the time of year when students tend to lose their boots, snow pants, gloves, etc. Please take a few minutes to clearly LABEL your child's belongings. You will be glad that you did! 


Report Cards


As a reminder, we are no longer distributing paper report cards to all families. Electronic report cards
will be available via SchoolTool beginning Saturday, December 11. Click here to access the viewing instructions. Here is a short video that also explains how to access the report cards online. If you need to update your email or phone number in SchoolTool, please click this link. If you need a hard copy of your child's report card mailed to your home, after December 11, please contact our school office at 315-487-4656.

Health and Wellness


With winter weather upon us, colds, flu and other viral illnesses are on the rise. Please remember to provide a mask for your child(ren) on a daily basis. We appreciate your ongoing support and understanding in keeping your children home when they are showing any signs of illness. Please call Ms. Balcourt when your child is ill or you have any questions or concerns at 315 487-4658.

The Kindness Committee in cooperation with “The Joy of Sox” Foundation will be hosting a Sock Drive Competition Friday 12/10 - 12/22 promoting the thought of GIVING during this holiday season.
