Tuition & AM/PM Care – Late Payment All tuition, AM/PM Care, and other charges are due on the first of each month (August thru May). Be- ginning in October 2011, accounts not paid-in-full will be assessed a $15 late charge on the 16th of each month. CPTA Meeting RCS Parents:

As all of you are aware, there have been recent changes with the administration that have greatly impacted the school. In light of these changes and other issues, the CPTA is asking that every parent/ guardian come out to the CPTA meeting tonight November 15 at 6:00 p.m. in the gym. The school board and members of the faculty will be present at this meeting to address the state of RCS. This is your opportunity to have a voice and to ask questions.

If you care about your children, their education, and the future of the school, you need to be present at this meeting. We're expecting a full house, so please come early.

Thank you Calling All MEN !! On Thursday, November 17, 2011, Roseland Christian School will be hosting our very own, REAL MEN READ! On this day, the men are invited to come to our school and read aloud to our students in their respective classrooms. This exercise will help to build a child’s vocabulary and listening skills. And, in addition, it will show that REAL MEN value education. Our goal is to show students that reading is the foundation for achieving success in school and beyond. If you are interested in participating in this event, please call the school office at 773-264-2174.

“Library Mouse” by Daniel Kirk

We had fun reading the “Library Mouse” to all the children in Preschool through 4th grades. As de-scribed in the “Library Mouse” book, we are hoping each student in grades 1st – 4th can “author” a book of their own. Our librarians and classroom teachers will assist the students in authoring a book of their own. At the end of this month, we will display all the books that the children have authored. We will give them a treat as well for participating in this fun activity. The children in Preschool through kinder-garten will also be doing age appropriate activities. Uniform Dress Code We ask parents to have your children adhere to the dress code.

Pants or skirts (bottoms) must be navy, jeans are not permitted! Leggings under skirts or dresses – may be black or navy. No leggings by themselves.

Tops for 4th grade and below: Polo shirts – white or navy

Tops for 5th grade and above:

Polo shirts – white or burgundy

If you feel your children are too chilly inside, they may wear a sweater or sweatshirt of the same top colors but without lettering or words. Please work with us in maintaining the dress code! Thanks…
