Lower School News

It was so nice to see so many of you at Miniature School. This is one of my favorite evenings at Roycemore where you meet our fabulous faculty and hear about our challenging, progressive and differentiated curriculum, plus all the specials your children enjoy and the Leader in Me and Calm Classroom Programs. It is a perfect way to meet your children's teachers and learn how you and the school can partner to help your children excel. Please remember that we are always available to talk with you for your children.

WHAT'S HAPPENING AROUND LOWER SCHOOL
  1. Our preschool program is so enriched. Every week our Pre-Kindergarteners and Junior Kindergarteners have specials with experts in their fields. They have music two days a week, plus an opportunity to learn Suzuki violin, art one day a week, French one day a week, a library class where they get to take out books to go home, and Physical education with our Athletics Director, who loves them.
2. When you come in the yellow doors from the garage. Be sure to look at the blue wall where you will see pictures of all the exciting activities that are happening in the elementary part of Lower School, Grades 1-4. I know you will love to see what they are doing.
3 , The Fourth Graders are in charge of the Roycemore Garden. Students even give up part of their recess to attend to it. The bounty this year is amazing, and the tomatoes are especially delicious. .
