Rotolo Middle School

Dear Rotolo Families,

Thank you to for a wonderful week at Rotolo both in the classroom and on the athletic fields.  Please see a number of announcements, resources, and upcoming dates.

Batavia High School Football Games

Please be aware that the High School does not allow elementary or middle school students into the Friday football games without parent supervision.  Every student must be accompanied by their own parent or guardian and drop offs are not allowed. There will be supervisors at the main entrance to monitor the students entering the games. Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our students safe.

Sharing a Resource for Parents

Parent Toolkit is a one-stop resource developed with parents in mind. It’s produced by NBC News Education Nation and supported by Pearson and includes information about almost every aspect of your child’s development, because they’re all connected. Healthy, successful children can excel in many areas – in the classroom, on the court, and in their relationships with peers and adults. Our advice also covers important topics for navigating life after high school. Please click here to learn more.

Growth Mindset

We shared this message with Team 6-1 and Team 6-2  students this week about growth mindset. In a growth mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for great accomplishment. Students made a locker growth mindset poster and showed grit while working collaboratively on a math task.  We will share this message with Team 6-3 and Team 6-4 next week.
