Picture Day Tuesday, Aug 25th!

RTE fall picture day is this Tuesday! These pictures will be used in our yearbook. Students are not required to bring in any forms or money on this day. Picture packages will be sent home for purchasing at a later date.  Here are some tips for great pictures:


Ms. Bennett, 1st Grade
(my dad fixed my hair!)
OUTFIT: Plan ahead! Students will take close-up portraits. Avoid wearing white, spaghetti straps and t-shirts with words, logos, superheros, etc. DO wear solid colors, small patterns, and shirts with collars.

HAIR: Avoid trying new hairstyles. DO get haircuts and practice new hairstyles a few days in advance.

SMILE: Talk to your children about showing off their smile! Photographers will encourage students to smile with their mouth open because we know that missing teeth and braces are part of being a kid.  Parents will want to remember these days for years to come!

Get ready to "smile big!"

Back to School Bash - Did You Register Yet?


If you have not already done so, please click HERE to register for Round Top's 2015 Back to School Bash on Monday, August 17th at 5:00 PM. This new event replaces the Meet & Greet and Open House events that we have offered in the past.  Complete one electronic registration form for EACH Round Top student you're bringing with you that night.  If you're bringing more than one child with you, complete the form and click SUBMIT.  Then, click "Submit Another Response" to register another child.  

Starting at 5:00 PM, families can visit classrooms, drop off school supplies, visit after school vendors, and meet representatives from our PTO and SIC.  Starting at approximately 5:40 PM, we will begin moving all RTE students (students who will be attending RTE in the fall) to designated locations for dinner and a movie.  At 6:00 PM, parents will return to their child's classroom to hear information and expectations from the teacher.  The first classroom session will last approximately 20-25 minutes.  At 6:30 PM, a second classroom session will begin for parents who need to visit more than one classroom.  When parents are finished, they will need to sign their child out from the multipurpose room.  We encourage you to bring only RTE students with you, as younger/older children and infants will need to remain with their parents.  Limited parking will be available in the RTE parking lot, so we suggest you park in the field located next to RTE on the property of Blythewood Presbyterian Church.
