Teacher Appreciation Week is May 6-10: Our Washington PTO has been planning to make this a great week for our staff and are asking for your help.  Click here for a suggested list of how families can participate. Our Washington PTO has compiled a list of Staff Favorites to help with your planning. In addition, the PTO would love to be able to make sure every staff member gets at least ONE gift card so any donation is welcome. Click on this link to donate. 

Wednesday, May 8: Mark your calendars for the Student Art Showcase from 4:30pm to 6:30pm. This open house style event will display works of art from all of our students. The Scholastic Book Fair and Sucree Milkshake truck will also be on site.

May 15 from 3 to 7 p.m: Mark your calendar for a drop-in enrollment event for new Young Five and Kindergarten students on the 3rd floor in the Administration Building, 316 North Main Street, Romeo. To participate, parents must complete a pre-registration form as well as all the forms for their student in their PowerSchool Parent Portal and have all the necessary documents with them (birth certificate, proof of residency, immunization record, vision and hearing screening). Please contact the Enrollment Center at (586) 281-1404 or enrollment@romeok12.org with questions.

Lunch Parents Needed: We have a very dedicated crew of lunch volunteers and I am not sure how we would make it through lunch without them! If you are able to help, we are always in need of additional hands. Please contact the school office at Rachel.Tippett@romeok12.org  for information about volunteer or paid lunch supervisor positions.
