Dear Rondout Families, Faculty and Friends,

Join Us for Rondout’s Upcoming Open House

We are excited to welcome families to our Rondout Open House on Thursday, October 16, from 6:45 to 7:45 p.m. This annual event is a wonderful opportunity for parents and guardians to:

Visit classrooms and learning spaces.
Meet teachers and staff.
Connect with other Rondout families and community members.

We look forward to sharing the learning and creativity happening each day at Rondout and to celebrating the strong partnership between home and school that helps our students thrive.

Rondout Fledglings Program Returns

We are also thrilled to share that the Rondout Fledglings Program is returning this month! It’s been a few years since we last offered this beloved program, and we’re excited to once again welcome our future Falcons and their families.

The program is designed to provide an engaging experience for parents and their infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. Presented by Rondout staff and early childhood professionals, each one-hour session will feature fun, hands-on activities for parents and children to enjoy together.

Families who reside in the Rondout area will receive priority registration, but families from outside the district are welcome if space is available. The program offers a wonderful opportunity to:

Introduce young children to Rondout in a warm and playful setting.
Build early enrichment experiences that support learning and development.
Connect parents with other families in the community.

As we reintroduce Fledglings this year, we plan to offer three sessions. Parents are asked to call or email mainoffice@rondoutsd72.org to register in advance so we can prepare adequate materials and supplies. Parents and children will participate together throughout the entire session.

A Final Note

At Rondout, we value the many ways families partner with us to create a vibrant, nurturing, and inspiring learning community. Whether you’re joining us for Open House, bringing your little one to Fledglings, or supporting school activities throughout the year, your involvement makes a difference. Together, we help every child spread their wings and soar.

Take care... Until next time...

Join us for a day filled with autumnal delights at the Fall Fun Fest and Halloween Parade on October 31, 2025! This year students may wear their costumes to school. While we encourage students to wear their most creative costumes—just remember, no weapons or violent themes allowed! Students may not bring look-a-like weapons. Masks can only be worn during the parade, and inflatable costumes should be brought to school to be put on at parade time.

We need enthusiastic parent volunteers to help make this day a spooktacular success, so look for the to sign up in next week’s Falcon Flyer! Volunteers are needed throughout the day so we hope you can find a time that works in your schedule. Families are invited to join us for the K-5 parade at 2 p.m., followed by an early 2:30 p.m. dismissal.

Rondout ghouls and goblins in grades K-5 will kick off the morning with a special Magic Show assembly, along with craft stations, spooky stories and a yummy snack to name a few. We’ve got lunch covered with delicious pizza for all students, plus gluten-free options for those with dietary restrictions. Students may also bring their own lunch if they choose.

In the afternoon, our 6-8 students will join in on the festivities with a pizza lunch and a bowling trip—leaving after lunch and returning by 2:30 p.m. It’s a day of fun for everyone, so mark your calendars and join us for a fun-filled day of community building and enjoyment!

We will be accepting donations of wrapped candy and snacks until Friday, November 7th. We hope to make 200 - 300 treat bags for our USO project. It’s a great way to repurpose your Halloween candy/treats. Candy may be dropped off at the office between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
