October Announcements 

Thank you to all of our Roderick students for a great start to the 2022-2023 school year! All Wrentham students over the first month of school have focused on our core values and the three R's of Respect, Responsibility, Ready to Learn. Students have been doing an excellent job adhering to our new common area expectations in the cafeteria, hallways, and playground.

 

Thank you to all of our Roderick families who joined us for the Roderick Elementary School Curriculum Night! The beginning of the school year is always busy, however we appreciate all of our families who joined us for Curriculum Night activities.

 

The Roderick Elementary Word of the Month for September and October is Responsibility. Students have been working hard in their classrooms to learn about being responsible members of our school community. Each classroom teacher will nominate one student from their classroom, to be our Student of the Month, who has exemplified responsibility throughout the first two months of school. The Roderick Elementary Student of the Month will have their picture in the front lobby at Roderick and have lunch with Mr. Martes and Mrs. Dietz in early November. 

 

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to let me know.

 

Mr. Kevin Martes

Principal

October’s word of the month, and focus for schoolwide classroom lessons, is Responsibility. Lessons have started in some classrooms and will continue throughout the month. Discussions have focused on  responsibilities the students have at school and at home, effort and decision making. 


What is it? Responsibility is doing what you are supposed to do when you are supposed to do it and accepting the positive and negative consequences of your actions.


Why is it important? Responsibility is an essential life skill and will allow children to become better students and constructive members of society. 


What does it look like? Student responsibility occurs when students make choices and take actions which lead them towards their educational goals. Responsibility at home may look like the child waking up on their own or setting an alarm, packing their lunch independently, feeding the dog, unloading the dishwasher, doing laundry.
