Dear Rondout Families, Faculty and Friends,
Welcome, April! It is shaping up to be a busy and exciting month at Rondout.
This week, we are looking ahead to two special events. We are excited to welcome the Class of 2035 as families join us for Kindergarten Orientation for Parents on Tuesday, April 7, 2026. We are also proud to honor our 7th and 8th grade students who will be inducted into the Rondout Chapter of the National Junior Honor Society on Thursday evening, April 9, 2026.
State testing will continue next week, including both the IAR and ISA assessments. We appreciate your support in helping students arrive on time, well rested, and ready to do their best.
Our PTSA will also be meeting on April 6 as they assist in welcoming our incoming kindergarten families. We are grateful for their continued partnership and support of our school community.
The garden is calling us, and we are excited for another growing season at Rondout. A special thank you goes to The Mulch Center of Deerfield for its generous donation of 5 yards of garden soil, which will allow us to refresh and refill our garden beds. Our mini greenhouses are bursting with seedlings and planting will begin soon.
We are looking forward to an abundant year in the garden as we grow produce to serve our students and families, as well as support the community through the North Chicago Community Partners Care Closet. We have had a long-standing partnership supporting the food pantry with produce from our garden and farmer's markets in the area. It's been a rewarding way to support learning and making a difference in our larger community.
As we begin the spring season, we extend our warmest wishes to all of our families who are celebrating spring holidays. We hope this is a joyful time filled with family, tradition, and renewal.
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend and a strong start to the month ahead.
Take care... Until next time...
