Character Day at Rose Hill!
So much fun was had by staff and students at Thursday's Book Character Day! Thank you to everyone who participated. Pictured above are our teaching teams and their costumes. They definitely went all out!
Elementary School Language Arts Grading Updates
Our teachers have been hard at work teaching with the new Language Arts curriculum, and we are excited to help all of our students become strong readers and writers! This year we also have new assessments, which is how we check if your student needs extra help with reading and writing, and new Standards of Learning (SOLs).
Because of these changes, we are now teaching all of the Language Arts skills your child needs to know (and checking if they need extra help) throughout the whole school year, instead of different skills each quarter. While these skills will be new to your child in the beginning of the year, the goal is for your child to grow strong in all of their new skills by the end of the year.
This means that when you get your child’s progress report, it might look different. Your child’s teacher will give you more information on the new progress reporting and how we’re making sure your child is getting any extra help they might need. You can also find more information on FCPS’ Grading and Reporting webpage.
Hayfield Pyramid Strings Concert
Over 20 students represented Rose Hill at Wednesday evenings Hayfield Pyramid strings concert. The students joined over 100 other elementary students from throughout the pyramid. Together, they learned a song and then performed it together. They even dressed up in costumes! Thank you to Mrs. Babb, our strings teacher, for supporting our students in this endeavor.
Rose Hill Stellar Squads
This past month, Rose Hill initiated Stellar Squads. Stellar Squads are classrooms that are partnered together, usually an upper grade with a lower grade, and for about an hour, they have an opportunity to connect. The goal is for the older students to see how important their role is an older Rocket and to model the Rose Hill expectations, feel good about helping younger Rockets, and to hopefully, through the course of the year, develop strong relationships. The same squads are partnered throughout the year and will get together once a month. Be sure to ask your student about their Stellar Squad experience that took place Thursday afternoon!
