Dear Rondout Families, Faculty and Friends,
What a full and memorable week at Rondout as we continue celebrating the many special moments that make this time of year so meaningful!
On Tuesday evening, the Board of Education recognized staff members celebrating teaching and employment anniversaries. We are deeply grateful for the dedication, commitment, and lasting impact of our outstanding faculty and staff members who help make Rondout such a special place for students and families.
Wednesday evening, we proudly celebrated the graduation of the Rondout Class of 2026. It was a beautiful ceremony filled with heartfelt reflections, laughter, pride, and excitement for the future. Earlier in the day, our K–7 students and staff participated in the annual Graduation Clap Out following graduation practice, cheering on our eighth graders as they walked the halls one final time as Rondout students. It was a wonderful display of school spirit and community.
Also on Wednesday, the Nutrition and Wellness Department of the Village sponsored a schoolwide wellness walk for all students and staff followed by a healthy snack as we took time to celebrate wellness, movement, and enjoying the beautiful spring weather together.
This week also included several exciting outdoor and environmental field trips that provided students with valuable hands-on learning experiences beyond the classroom walls. Ryerson Woods was the K-2 and 3-5 destination for programs sponsored by the Lake County Forest Preserve District.
On Thursday evening our staff gathered to celebrate the retirement of Mrs. Julie Coronelli. We are incredibly grateful for her many years of service, dedication, creativity, and commitment to students and colleagues. Special thanks to the PTSA for sponsoring today’s lovely reception in Mrs. Coronelli’s honor and for helping us celebrate her in such meaningful ways.
As we look ahead, the final days of the school year will fly by quickly! Our last day of student attendance will be Monday, June 1, 2026, featuring our much-anticipated Circus Day celebration. We are still welcoming volunteers for the event — this is the final call for sign-ups. Thank you in advance to everyone helping make this special tradition possible for our students.
Please note that our last day, Monday, June 1 will be a 1:20 p.m. dismissal.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support as we bring another wonderful school year to a close. Wishing everyone a safe, joyful, and memorable holiday weekend!
