RISD REPORT
Rockdale Elementary has the spotlight this week and RES Principal Alesha Eoff has some very important information regarding the annual Pre-K and Kindergarten Roundup.
Our Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten students will have their annual Roundup at the elementary cafeteria Tuesday (April 23).
Hours are 3:45 to 5:45 p.m. All children who will be four before Sept. 1, 2019 will be eligible to register for Pre-Kindergarten, and all children that will be five years old before that date will be able to register for Kindergarten.
To register, you must present:
• An official Birth Certificate.
• Social Security Card.
• Immunization record.
• Proof of residency (utility bill).
• Parent driver’s license
• Proof of income (Pre-K students only).
Childcare will be provided so that parents may fill out paperwork. This will be a great opportunity for your little ones to meet their teachers and aides, and start to become familiar with them.
The Milam County Health Department will be available along with the Milam County WIC program.
We have an amazing Pre-Kindergarten program. We have excellent teachers, and are fortunate to use a curriculum aligned with the Prekindergarten Guidelines.
We have increased prekindergarten teacher training and/or qualifications, implemented student progress monitoring, provide kindergarten readiness results, and developed quality family engagement plans.
Our teachers attend professional development, progress monitoring our children every six weeks, and implementing the TEA approved curriculum guidelines. Teachers have also worked on several parent and community engagement activities to work on building support for our students.
Pre-K is an excellent opportunity for our young learners. Having an extra year to develop a foundation and learn about school is a powerful opportunity for students.
It is our goal to provide a challenging and engaging curriculum for all students in our Pre-K program.
A high-quality Pre-Kindergarten program impacts the education of four and five year old children in many positive ways.
Our Pre-Kindergarten program embraces and celebrates the diversity of our youngest learners through a variety of hands-on extracurricular activities. To date, some of these activities include the Pre-K Rockin’ Rodeo, annual Thanksgiving Extravaganza, STEM activities (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math integrated activities), community field trips, and various family involvement projects.
Students are involved in the annual QU wedding, Field Day, trip to Crowe’s Nest Farm, and Water Day.
Our Pre-K students and teachers celebrate personal and academic milestones, such as birthdays and the 50th and 100th days of school. Students and teachers work collaboratively to set academic and social goals and to celebrate individual and class successes.
I encourage all parents of children ages 4 and 5 to stop by and pre-register during this exciting Roundup event and start your child on the path to success.
