Dear Rosemont School families,
What a wonderful start of the 2024-2025 school year! Students were excited to come back to school, especially to see their friends and to learn who their new teachers were. Our new students are settling in and are starting to make connections already!
We are looking forward to a wonderful year with plenty of opportunities to create new memories and friendships. These weekly Admin Messages are a terrific way to stay up to date on events and information that impacts your student’s time here with us.

This weekly update will be sent to you each week prior to the beginning of the next week. We encourage you to reach out to us anytime- call the school or email us if you have anything you would like to discuss. Here is to a wonderful 2024-2025 school year!
