Dear Rondout Families, Faculty and Friends,


This morning, our school community came together for one of our most meaningful traditions — the Rondout Veterans Day Assembly. The program was a beautiful reminder of the courage, dedication, and service of the men and women who protect our freedom.


We were deeply honored to welcome our special guests. We honored the following veterans who were recognized at our assembly.


  • Mr. Ron Craig, U.S. Navy
  • Kelley Reinfelds, U.S. Army Reserve
  • Mike Hanley, U.S. Marine Corps
  • Kostas Papadoulakis, Greek Air Force and NATO
  • Joe Wager, U.S. Navy


Our students shared heartfelt essays expressing gratitude for the sacrifices made by our veterans, and the Rondout Band filled the gym with stirring patriotic music that set the perfect tone for reflection and celebration. The pride, respect, and unity in the room made it a truly memorable morning for all.


As always, thank you to our faculty and staff for preparing students so thoughtfully, and to our families for supporting this important event. We are grateful for the veterans within our Rondout community and beyond, and we extend our heartfelt thanks for their service.


Looking ahead, please note:

  • Trimester 1 concluded today, Friday, November 7.
  • Report cards will be mailed to families on November 21.
  • Parent Conferences are scheduled for December 4 and 5. Please be sure to complete your conference preference form if you haven’t already done so.


As we move deeper into November, our focus on gratitude and community continues to shine through in every Rondout activity. Thank you for being part of what makes our school such a special place to learn and grow.

Take care... Until next time...
