HOME BULLETIN

Tuition & AM/PM Care All tuition, AM/PM Care, and other charges are due on the first of each month (August thru May). Beginning in September 2012, accounts not paid in full will be assessed a $15.00 late fee on the 16th of the month. If debts are not paid by the last day of the month, students will have to remain at home until payment is made. If your payment is past due, contact Mr. Roger DeGroot in the Develop-ment Office.

Thanks in advance for your complete understanding and full cooperation!

Let’s Collect Box Tops This school year we are again collecting Box Tops for Education. For each one we turn in we receive 10 cents. Here are some brands having coupons on them: Pillsbury, Yoplait, General Mills, Green Giant, Hamburger Helper, Ziploc, Hefty, Scott paper products and Huggies diapers. Every student who brings in 25 box tops by the last Friday of each month will receive a treat. (Please send them to school in a baggie or an envelope). At the end of the year, the class collecting the most box tops will win a pizza lunch. Thank you very much for helping us raise money for our school!

See You at the Pole (SYATP) Please support our students in prayer. On Wed., September 26 our school will be participating in SYATP, an annual global day of prayer where students meet at the flagpole to lift up their friends, families, teachers, school and nation to God in prayer. All are welcome to join us as we gather on the soccer field around the flagpole at 10:00 am promptly. Our prayer is that a spiritual harvest will continue on throughout our school year. For more information, call the school office at 773-264-2174.

Market Day Make Market Day your own private fundraiser! Take orders from family and friends. 5% of each total sale is credited toward your tuition payment.

Freestyle Friday Student Council is sponsoring the first Freestyle Friday of the new school year. This is a day where students do not have to wear uniforms. Each student that participates will have to donate $1.00. This donation goes to the Student Council as they develop programs and make purchases to enhance the educational life at Roseland.

Progress Reports You may have noticed that our school calendar states that Progress Reports will go out on Tues., October 2. This is no longer true. Roseland will not issue Progress Reports. Instead, we have activated Parent Web, part of our student infor-mation system, RenWeb. Now you can track your child’s assignments and grades any day of the week. This system is for all 1-8 grade students.

If you have not created your parent web account, see the attachment with the Home Bulletin today. If you have any problems setting up your account, please contact Ms. Richards in the office, and make sure that at least one parent has an email account.

ParentsWeb Parents you now have the opportunity to monitor your child’s academic progress via the internet. We would appreciate you taking a few minutes to create your very own ParentsWeb account. In order to create your account you must have an email address on file at RCS.
