Upper School News
Hello Upper School Families,

Rachel Cico's face here echoes my joy. It has been so wonderful rehearsing with the cast of Our Town each day after school. While Grover's Corners is very different from Roycemore, the family feel of our community is certainly mirrored in the play. Please see below for important information and enjoy the long weekend!




Important schedule reminder: There is no school Monday 2/17



Midquarter Reports
Early this week,  midquarter reports for any new student and any student receiving a C- or lower in a class will be emailed home. A reminder that these are not final grades, but are designed as a check-in to help any student who is struggling to formulate a plan for success.



Juniors and Families-Important reminder!
Please sign up ASAP for your meetings with Stacia Campbell, our College Counselor: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60b0d4cacae22a6f58-junior2


Help Us Help the Earth
This semester, the Roycemore National Honor Society is recycling all of your plastic bags, printer toner/ink, and old electronics and batteries. You can find bins in the lobby, and if they are not there, please bring them to Cara Marantz or Mrs. Byrnes. We will be collecting until May 15th, so please check your homes for any of the items that we are taking!


Re-Enrollment
Calling all current families! Now is the time to complete your re-enrollment forms. All current families have been sent re-enrollment information. Please be aware that discounts are available for families who take advantage of our Advanced Payment options.   For questions about re-enrollment, please contact Tanise Robnett  [email protected] .


Spring Play-Our Town!
Rehearsals continue this week! Make sure to join us on March 12th @ 6pm, or 13th @ 7pm for this beautiful classic.
