RMS PTO Update ~ January 30, 2018

Hello Rombout Families! 

The Harlem Wizards are coming!  Join us on February 23rd at 7pm (doors open at 6) as our BCSD Staff All-Stars take on the Harlem Wizards.  It is a night of fun with lots of tricks, hoops, and alley oops.  Your ticket purchase, souvenir purchase, and concession stand purchase will benefit the Rombout PTO, Beacon High School PTSO, and the National Honor Society.  Tickets are $10 per student and $12 per adult in advance ($12/$15 at the door if there are any left).  Reserved seating is $20 and Courtside seats are $35.  Purchase a Wizards jersey and your child can go out on the court and warm up with the Wizards.  Visit our website www.romboutpto.org for the ticket order form or link to order online.  Buy Your Tickets Today!  

The Rombout PTO will begin a Mixed Bag Fundraiser in February.  This fundraiser will go home with all students.  Money raised from this fundraiser will go towards field trips and assemblies for the students.  Any 8th grade student that is going on the Washington DC Trip will be able to apply 40% of their total amount collected to their trip balance.  Please be on the lookout for the catalogs coming home soon.  

We are looking for food donations and volunteers to help run the concession stand at the "Snow Ball" Dance on Friday 2/9 from 5:30-8:30.  Check out our sign up form at http://signup.com/go/jXnxnvo

On February 22 the IEP/Parent Support Group will be meeting at 4pm at JV Forrestal.  Joyce Hawk of Hudson Valley Education Parent Center will be presenting "Understanding Your Child's Individualized Education Program (IEP)".  This presentation will provide a review of the language and type of information that goes in each section of an individualized Education Program; who contributes information; how progress is monitored and how a student's needs of concern to a parent, are considered throughout the process.  We hope you can attend this very informative meeting. 

Save your Box Tops!  We will be holding a second contest this spring for the student with the most Box Tops.  More details to come soon.  Congratulations to Ms Frick's classroom who won our winter contest.  They enjoyed a Dunkin Donut breakfast treat for collecting the most Box Tops.
