Dear Roseway Heights Families,

We probably did not appreciate our sunny, dry December weather as
much as we should have! Hopefully we will see the return of drier
weather sometime in the not too distant future.

As part of Roseway Heights being a good neighbor I want to urge
everyone when you are dropping off or picking up students, please do
not block neighbors’ driveways or stop in front of the school. It
becomes so congested on Siskiyou that our buses and other traffic
have difficulty getting through. I know parking can be a challenge but
you may find more spaces available on 72nd and can then meet your
student at the west entrance. There is always staff there so students
will not be unattended.

We are having a 6-8th grade Valentine’s dance on Friday, Feb. 10th
from 6-8 pm. If you are interested in volunteering as a chaperone,
that would be great. I want to remind all of our students who plan on
attending the dance that our dress code still applies. This means skirts
need to be fingertip length which is generally just above the knees, no
spaghetti straps, and shoes should not be highly elevated as our floors
can be quite slippery. I realize some dresses may already be planned/
purchased that may not fit the dress code and an option can be for the
student to wear a sweater or shawl. We are charging $2/student for
the dance and will have scholarships so no one is turned away due to
financial hardship. The purpose of the fee is to help students take the
dance more seriously, plus it will help in this tight economy to partly
offset the cost of the disc jockey.

The 8th graders did a great job in the volleyball game against the staff
last Friday. It was fun to have so many supporters in the stands. I was
sorry I could not stay for the whole game; if I had, the 8th graders
probably would have scored more points!

It is a busy week with our Spelling Bee, the K-2 music program today
and our first Kindergarten Round Up on Friday. Please let friends and
neighbors of any children turning five years old by September 1st
know about our Round Up. If people can not attend this Friday, we
will offer a second one on March 1 in the evening.

Have a great rest of the week

Sincerely,

Sarah Lewins, Principal
