Dear Rondout Families, Faculty and Friends,
As we approach the finish line of another remarkable school year, there is an unmistakable sense of excitement, pride, and gratitude throughout our school. This week has been filled with the important work of wrapping up academic learning, celebrating accomplishments, reflecting on growth, and preparing for one final day together as a school community.
While classrooms have remained busy with end-of-year projects, reflections, and celebrations of learning, students and staff have also been looking ahead to one of Rondout's most beloved traditions—our annual Circus Day. On Monday, June 1, Circus Amongus will transform our school into a lively circus training center where students will spend the day learning circus arts, building confidence, practicing teamwork, and discovering talents they may never have known they possessed.
Throughout the day, students will work alongside professional instructors to learn a variety of circus skills before preparing for the grand finale—a student-led circus performance for families and friends. Along the way, they will experience the joy that comes from trying something new, encouraging one another, and working together toward a common goal. It is a wonderful example of the many ways learning extends beyond the classroom and highlights creativity, perseverance, collaboration, and self-confidence.
Our volunteers are ready to roll, and we are incredibly grateful for the many parents, family members, and community supporters who help make this special day possible. Your partnership and involvement are among the many reasons Rondout continues to be such a vibrant and caring school community.
We warmly invite all parents and family members to attend the Rondout Circus Show, which begins promptly at 12:10 p.m. Please plan to arrive by 12:00 p.m. to allow time for parking and seating. The performance will conclude at approximately 1:10 p.m., followed by student dismissal at 1:20 p.m.
As the curtain closes on the 2025–2026 school year, we find ourselves reflecting on a year filled with extraordinary learning, meaningful experiences, and countless moments of joy. From classroom accomplishments and academic growth to performances, field trips, service projects, athletic competitions, family events, garden experiences, and celebrations large and small, our students have embraced opportunities to learn, lead, create, and grow.
Most importantly, we have continued our commitment to educating the whole child—nurturing academic excellence while also fostering curiosity, creativity, resilience, compassion, and strong character. These experiences are possible because of the dedicated efforts of our outstanding faculty and staff and the unwavering support of our families.
Thank you for entrusting us with your children each day. Thank you for volunteering, attending events, cheering from the sidelines, partnering with teachers, and supporting the many activities that make Rondout such a special place. We are incredibly proud of all that our students have accomplished this year and grateful for the strong community that surrounds them.
We hope you will join us on Monday as we celebrate the end of another successful school year. Together, we will applaud our students, enjoy one final day of learning and laughter, and send everyone into summer with smiles, wonderful memories, and excitement for the adventures ahead.
Have a wonderful weekend, and we look forward to seeing you at the circus!
With gratitude,
Dr. Jenny T. Wojcik
