Dear Roundup Elementary Parents: Roundup Elementary would like to thank all parents for being diligent about keeping sick students’ home and following the guidelines to keep our students safe. We are certainly progressing through a strange time and we thank you for persevering with us. Over the next couple of weeks there are quite of few happenings at the elementary. MEA Days are this Thursday, October 15th and Friday, October 16th. Students will be home on those two days. The end of the quarter is Friday, October 23rd. The following week is a four-day week and it will also be Red Ribbon Week. There will be dress up days for the week so watch for paperwork coming home so students can participate and win prizes. There is no school Friday, October 30th as that is district volleyball. Monday, November 2nd is Parent Teacher Conferences. We will not be able to have parents come to the elementary for conferences but the teaching staff will be contacting every parent to find out if they would like a virtual meeting with the teacher, a phone call, or an email message detailing each student's progress. Once again, we are thrilled that we are able to teach our students face to face and we thank you for your patience during these times. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to call at 323-1512. Rick Griffith Roundup Elementary School Principal

Temporary Food Service changes Effective 09/08/2020 Roundup Schools has been approved to temporarily return to operating under the Summer Food Service program sponsored by the USDA. What this means for students: Effective September 8th – September 30th, all students that are actively enrolled in Roundup Schools will receive free breakfast and lunch meals. Extra milk and ala carte items, like chips and cookies, will still cost extra. Charges incurred prior to September 8th are still the responsibility of the parent/guardian. Again, this is a temporary exception so Free and Reduced meal applications still need to be completed and submitted to the school for when we return to the regular school lunch program.

Due to Covid-19 restrictions, parents will not be allowed in the elementary school building without an appointment. We know this is disappointing, but does apply to the first day of school as well.

***JH (grades 6-8) and HS Volleyball parent meeting will be held this Wednesday at 5:30pm in the HS gym.*** JH Practice will start Thursday after school at the Community Center. Current physical must be turned in to participate.
