Good Afternoon Rose Community,
Rose Community Holiday Food Drive: Rose Community - we need your help! Many of our families and community members are struggling to have food on the table. We are holding a Holiday Food Drive from November 14 - December 16. We are in need of canned food, dried goods, and boxed foods. Please no glass jars or perishables. All items can be placed in our Gobble Monsters located out front or in the parking lot. Please contact our family liaison if your family is in need at 760-432-2495 or aramosalmaraz@eusd.org
First Grade Family Lunch Day - This Friday, December 12 is our First Grade Family Lunch Day from 1:00-1:20 pm. You may bring outside food for yourself and your student only. This event is reserved to honor First Grade students and their adult family members only. It is important that siblings of first grade students that attend Rose, remain in class for important instruction and do not attend the First Grade Lunch. Please be sure to arrive before 12:50 pm to have enough time to eat with your student. Check-in will be in front of the office.
Safe Driving/Neighbor Driveways - Parents, we have seen an increase in families not adhering to the speed limits, traffic signals, and parking lot signs in and around the school in addition to drivers blocking the driveways of our school neighbors. It is imperative for everyone’s safety that you safely drive to school and be respectful of the homes of our neighbors.
Parking Lot Exit - As a reminder, during arrival and dismissal, drivers may only turn right out of our school parking lot. Thank you for your cooperation and support regarding this very important expectation.
Independent Study/Leaves - Families, if you know your student will be absent for several days due to a planned trip or event, please notify the office at least two weeks in advance. Your student can be placed on independent study during their leave to receive credit for their absences, however, but our office and teacher will need time to prepare the required materials. Thank you.
YMCA Early Release Reminder - Students enrolled in the YMCA program are expected to participate in the full day program every day per CA State Legislature and Education Code. Early release sign out begins at 4:00 pm. Parents/guardians of students enrolled in the YMCA have received notification with a reminder of these guidelines.
School of Choice - The School of Choice window is now open through January 30, 2026. If you wish to apply to have your child attend a school(s) other than their school of residence beginning in the 2026-2027 school year, apply online at https://www.eusd.org/page/registration-enrollment-school-choice-transfers. Applications will NOT be accepted after the January 30 deadline. Once your application is successfully submitted, you will receive an email confirmation. A lottery will be conducted in April 2026. You will be notified by email in May 2026 regarding the results of the lottery. Questions regarding the School Choice process should be directed to the school office or to Integrated Student Supports at 760-432-2247.
Resources for Food Assistance - We want to make sure families are aware of local resources that offer free food and support for those who may need it. Here are a few options available in our community:

From the Nurse - Does your student have a doctor's note with activity restrictions? Please email the Dr note to our Nurse at otanzillo@eusd.org or roseenrollment@eusd.org. If you have any additional questions/concerns, call our health office to speak to the nurse at 760-432-2495. Office Hours: 7:30-4:00 pm. Does your student require medication during school or on field trips? Please ask your doctor to complete the Medication Authorization Form in its entirety (ex: Medication, Dose, Route, Time, Diagnosis) and return to the health office with the prescribed medication.
Volunteer POD - Parents, we need your help. We are once again starting up our weekly Volunteer POD. This will take place on Wednesdays, in room 24. Volunteering your time impacts our school community in amazing ways! We hope you will be able to join us starting at 8:00 AM.
Join our PTA! - Our fabulous PTA needs your support! Membership is $10 per family and flyers were sent home last week. The PTA, or the Parent Teacher Association, is a network of parents, teachers, administrators, and community volunteers devoted to the educational success of our students and the promotion of family engagement in our school. The PTA sponsors and organizes family events, plans fundraisers, and funds programs such as art assemblies. In every endeavor, our PTA volunteers work together to enrich the lives of our students.
Breakfast and Lunch Menus: All EUSD students have access to no-cost breakfast and lunch. Families can view our new online menus. Select your school and menu to see what is being served every day.
That is all for now - have a great week!
