IMPORTANT INFO FOR UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR AT RKE
🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

Hello Rolling Knolls ES Families,

Here are a few important updates to help us kick off a great school year!
Sneak a Peek: August 20, 2026 | 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM (Grades 1-5 ONLY)
Students in Grades 1-5 can meet their teacher and visit their classroom before the first day of school. Please note that an adult must accompany all students attending this event. Head to the cafeteria and locate your child's grade level table for teacher/classroom information. 🙂 Stop by the flag pole when you leave and meet our PTO Executive members. There will be Lollipops for students! (Thanks for ‘popping’ by!)

School Supplies:
Our school has purchased all students’ school supplies. 🙂 (pencils, scissors, crayons, glue, notebooks, etc.)
Families should purchase 1 BackPack (no rolling backpacks), 1 Lunch box, 1 water bottle and 1 set of headphones for each student.

First Day of School: August 24th
We look forward to welcoming our students in Grades 1-5, back to school on Monday, August 24th!
PreK & Kindergarten families- you will learn your child's start date when you meet your child's teacher for PreK/K Conferences
Morning Arrival: 7:45 am-Front Doors will be open for student entry.
Instruction Begins in Classrooms at 8:00 am. Please ensure your child is here by that time each morning. 🙂
Afternoon Dismissal: 2:25 pm
Buses: All buses are loaded and usually leave our bus loop by 2:35/2:40 pm. (Times may vary the first few days of school as students learn new routines and bus numbers) For Bus Routes/Times consult the AACPS website at https://busstops.aacps.org/

Car Riders: Students wait in our gym and are called to the car loop when you pull in. You will receive a GREEN student name car tag at Sneak a Peek. Please ensure your GREEN student name tag remains in your vehicle dash/window as you move through the car loop. It needs to remain visible through the entire car loop so staff are able to check it and ensure we load students into the correct vehicles when you pull up to the numbered cones. Thank you!

All Rockets are Offered a Free Breakfast:
With funding from Maryland Meals for Achievement (MMFA), all students at Rolling Knolls ES are offered a FREE Breakfast each day. School lunches however are not free and students' lunch accounts are billed for a lunch on days they choose to purchase a meal. IF you feel you may qualify for Free and Reduced Meal Prices, be sure to complete the application on the AACPS website at https://frapps.horizonsolana.com/welcome

Save The Date: Back-to-School Night Back-to-School Night (adults only)
This event will provide an opportunity to learn more about your child's classroom, curriculum, and school expectations for the year ahead. September 9, 2026 | 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM
We look forward to seeing everyone soon! We have missed our Rockets!!!

Estimadas familias de Rolling Knolls:
¡A continuación , hay algunas novedades importantes que nos ayudarán a comenzar el año escolar con éxito!
Sneak a Peek: 20 de agosto de 2026 | 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM ( Solo grados 1-5)
Los estudiantes de 1.º a 5.º grado pueden conocer a su maestro y visitar su aula antes del primer día de clase. Tenga en cuenta que todos los estudiantes que asistan a este evento deben estar acompañados por un adulto. Diríjase a la cafetería y busque la mesa correspondiente al grado de su hijo para obtener información sobre el maestro y el aula. 🙂 Al salir, acérquese al mástil de la bandera para conocer a los miembros de la Junta Directiva de la Asociación de Padres y Maestros (PTO). ¡Habrá paletas de helado para los estudiantes! ¡Gracias por visitarnos!

Útiles escolares:

Nuestra escuela ha adquirido todos los útiles escolares para los estudiantes. 🙂 (lápices, tijeras, lápices de colores, pegamento, cuadernos, etc.)
Las familias deben proporcionar una mochila (sin ruedas), una lonchera, una botella de agua y unos audífonos para cada estudiante.

Primer día de clase: 24 de agosto
¡Estamos ansiosos por dar la bienvenida a nuestros estudiantes de 1.º a 5.º grado, que volverán a la escuela el lunes 24 de agosto!
Familias de PreK y Kindergarten: se les notificará la fecha de inicio de su estudiante cuando se reúnan con su maestro durante las conferencias de PreK/K
Llegada por la mañana: 7:45 am — Las puertas principales estarán abiertas para la entrada de los estudiantes.
La instrucción comienza en los salones de clase a las 8:00 de la mañana. Por favor, asegúrense de que su estudiante esté aquí a esa hora cada mañana. 🙂
Salida de la tarde: 2:25 p. m.
Autobuses:Los autobuses suelen estar completos y listos para salir de nuestras paradas entre las 2:35 y las 2:40 pm. (Los horarios pueden variar durante los primeros días de clase, mientras los estudiantes se acostumbran a las nuevas rutinas y a los números de autobús). Para consultar las rutas y los horarios de los autobuses, visite la página web de AACPS en https://busstops.aacps.org/
Transporte en vehículo: Los estudiantes esperan en nuestro gimnasio y se les llama para que se dirijan al circuito de recogida cuando usted entre en el carro. Durante “Sneak a Peek”, recibirá una etiqueta VERDE con el nombre del estudiante. Asegúrese de que la etiqueta VERDE con el nombre del estudiante permanezca en el tablero o en la ventanilla de su vehículo mientras circula por el circuito de recogida. Debe estar visible durante todo el recorrido por el circuito para que el personal pueda verificarla y asegurarse de subir a los estudiantes a los vehículos correctos cuando se detenga junto a los conos numerados. ¡Muchas gracias!

A todos los Rockets se les ofrece un desayuno gratuito:
Gracias a la financiación de Maryland Meals for Achievement (MMFA), todos los estudiantes de la escuela Rolling Knolls ES reciben un desayuno GRATUITO todos los días. Sin embargo, los almuerzos escolares no son gratuitos y se cargará el costo del almuerzo en las cuentas de los estudiantes en los días en que decidan comprarlo. Si usted cree que puede calificar para el programa de comidas gratuitas o a precio reducido, asegúrese de completar la solicitud en la página web de AACPS en https://frapps.horizonsolana.com/welcome

Reserve la fecha: Noche de bienvenida de regreso a la escuela (solo para adultos)

Este evento le dará la oportunidad de conocer mejor el aula de su estudiante, el plan de estudios y las expectativas de la escuela para el año que comienza. 9 de septiembre de 2026 | 5:30 p. m. - 7:00 p. m.
¡Esperamos veros a todos muy pronto! ¡Hemos extrañado mucho a nuestros Rockets!!!
