Rockland Country Day School

First Day Highlights

We had a great opening day of school.  Thank you to all the students, teachers, parents and bus drivers that helped to make today so successful.  I truly appreciate your patience on this important day.

• The weather was beautiful!
• We welcomed 29 new students to campus.
• Assembly-Students and faculty had an opportunity to step-up to the microphone and address our community-it was a major success-we heard from new and old alike.
• Schedules and books were handed out, lockers were assigned and teachers introduced their classes and curriculum.
• Chef Gretchen prepared a delicious and nutritious lunch.
• Students left for home tired; smiling and eager to return tomorrow.

Reminders about the New School Year

• The school day is 8am-3pm, Monday thru Friday. 
• Snack is available to all students.  Children’s School receives snack from their teachers and Upper Division students can stop by the Cougar Café or Mr. Fyfe’s office.
• Tricia Mayer will be at two locations:  The Children’s School lobby mornings and afternoons and the Business Office the balance of the day.

 Sincerely,

Brian Mahoney, Ed.D.
