Good afternoon, Rowe friends. With 23" of snow in the forecast for Rowe, this was not a hard decision to make. Rowe School is canceled tomorrow, Tuesday, March 14. Be safe, post your snow day pictures to the Rowe School Community Facebook Page, and we'll (hopefully) see you on Wednesday. If there is a delay Wednesday, we'll let you know as soon as possible.
Due to the freezing rain in the forecast, Rowe School will have a two-hour delay tomorrow, Thursday, March 2. School will start at 10:30, the bus route will be delayed by two hours, breakfast will not be served, and students are able to be dropped off at the school after 9:45. Please be safe, and let me know if you have any questions. If a cancellation is called for, that information will be sent as soon as possible.
We're trying to gauge interest in having teams from Rowe School play teams from other towns/schools this Spring. We already have two families that are willing to start the organizing process. If you could reply to this short survey this week, we'll have a better idea of what is possible.
Here's the survey: https://forms.gle/AiZemswntn3AcgzZ7
Let's make baseball happen again in Rowe!
There are four age groups of teams possible:
T-Ball - PreK and K (ages 4-6)
Rookie - 1st and 2nd grades (ages 7-8)
Minor - 3rd and 4th grades (ages 9-10)
Major - 5th and 6th grades(ages 11-12)
Please call or email if you have any questions.
Good afternoon, Rowe families.
We are shifting our morning schedule a little bit. After February vacation, our students will eat breakfast and lunch together in the gym (breakfast will be in the gym Monday through Friday, and lunch will be in the gym every day but Wednesday due to PE). We're doing this for two reasons. We want to continue building positive community by having our students from different classes spend more time together and socialize. This change will also allow us to start our academic day a little earlier, making more time for math in the mornings, an area of growth we’ve identified for our students.
Here’s how our mornings will look:
-Students can still be brought to the school anytime after 7:45 am
-Students who ride the bus from the Park and Ride and Shun Pike (and King’s Highway) will be picked up at the regular time and dropped at the school at approximately 8:00 am
-Students in Rowe (except for King’s Highway) will be picked up between 5 and 7 minutes earlier than they are on the current schedule.
-The remaining bus students will be dropped off at the school between 8:20 and 8:25 and will have time to eat breakfast if desired.
-Students that are at the school will come inside at 8:15. They will go directly to the gym (P2 and P3) or to their lockers and then to the gym (3/4 and 5/6) for breakfast.
-If you are dropping your student off at school, and want them to have breakfast, please have them at the school by 8:15.
-If you are dropping your student at the school, and you DO NOT want them to have breakfast, they can arrive anytime up to 8:25. Students will be marked tardy if they arrive at school after 8:30.
Please do your best to have your students at school on time, when they come in late, it disrupts not only the start of their school day, but that of the rest of their class which can have a cascading effect throughout the day. We all know that it's unavoidable sometimes, and your help in getting them to school on time is appreciated.
Please let us know if you have any questions, and thanks for working with us to support the students.

Be careful on the way in, there's a little snow on the roads up here.
Good morning,
Despite the encroaching cold, we will be going with our regular Friday 12:30 release schedule today. There won't be any outdoor activities, but we will be able to get everyone to and from school safely. Please stay safe and warm.

Good morning, we're going to have a two-hour delay today to give time for the Highway Departments to treat the roads. School will start at 10:30, breakfast will not be served, students can be dropped off anytime after 9:45. Be safe and we'll see you soon.
Good morning, Rowe folks, this is Bill again with a slight change of schedule. Students will be released at 11:30 this morning, not 12:30 as I told you last night.
The bus for our students is also used to transport the Mohawk students who live in Rowe. I just heard from the bus company that Mohawk has scheduled their middle and high-school release for 12:50 today, and that means the bus wouldn't be available for our students until that run is over. That would have put our release at 1:50. We chose to release students at 11:30 instead, that felt wiser given the forecast. I'm sorry for giving you one time last night and a different time this morning. Breakfast will be served today, but lunch will NOT be served. If you typically pick up your student at dismissal, and they need to stay at the school until 12:30 based on plans you've already made, just call or email the school and we'll make sure they're taken care of until you can get there. And please call or email with any questions.
Good evening, Rowe families. Guess who?
The snow's supposed to start late morning, so to make sure everyone can get home safe, we're going to have a 12:30 release tomorrow, Wednesday, January 25. I apologize for the late notice, but we wanted families to have time to plan. Breakfast and lunch will be served. We're still keeping an eye on Thursday's forecast, but with ice, snow, and then rain Wednesday night into Thursday, I wouldn't be surprised if we postponed skiing for a week, but we'll make that decision tomorrow. Have a good night and stay safe.
Good morning, Rowe families. Rowe School will have a two hour delay today, Tuesday, January 24th, to give the road crews time to treat all the roads.

Hello, Rowe families. Looking at tomorrow's weather, it looks like we are going to be able to get our Winter Enrichment day in before the weather gets too bad. If that changes for any reason, we'll send out a call, but right now, things are looking good. Looking forward to a good day.
Good morning, the bus is running about 30 minutes late this morning. It will be there, but it will be about a half-hour behind schedule. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
