Reminder of Sportsmanship at Sporting Events

This is just a reminder of the importance of sportsmanship at all of our athletic contests. Please keep in mind that you do not know who is listening when comments are made about players on the other team, players on our team, coaches, and officials. Rome School and the SIJHSAA are working to make sure we provide the best environment for players on both teams to perform their best. Thank you and we look forward to the entire year of athletics at Rome Grade School.

Cross Country practice for today, Thursday, August 28th, will end at 4:30 p.m.

Just a reminder! This Friday, August 29th, is a 12:00 Dismissal! There is also No School on Monday, September 1st, for Labor Day!

We are excited to be entering a new era involving your child's lunch money! There is now an option to pay ONLINE! All you need is a TeacherEase account!
If you are currently not set up on TeacherEase, we encourage you to reach out to your child's teacher, and we can add you into the system! TeacherEase is extremely valuable; not only to replenish lunch accounts, but also to check grades and contact teachers!

If paying online is not for you, you can still send lunch/breakfast money in with your child. However, we ask that you only send payment by check from this point forward.

Directions for paying online can be found at this link: https://commongoalsystems.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4411847409933-How-does-a-parent-make-an-online-payment

Cross Country practice has been cancelled for tomorrow, Friday, August 22nd.
