Dear Rose Park Friends,
October is the month that Creation seems to pop to life singing Psalm 96:12 “Let all the trees of the forest sing for joy.” We will be certain to point our learners to the glory of God all month. We are also enjoying the rhythms of the school day that children begin to take comfort and begin to trust. Relationships are forming, adventures are enjoyed together and children are finding love in the care of their teachers. Thank you for your support and care for our community.
With thanks,
Katelyn and Miska
Announcements
Walkathon Thanks
A big special thank you to our parent board for their many hours of work in pulling off a wildly successful 2024 Walkathon. What a joy to see our children skipping, running and strolling the football field together. Additionally we thank YOU, our parents, for your prayerful support and contributions to the educational experiences in your child’s life at school. We are grateful to God for this special community.
Parking Lot and Carpool Lanes
Thank you so much for paying close attention and following our carpool norms and expectations at Rose Park! Now that we’ve been doing this for a few weeks it may be wise to review the expectations for full understanding. We are continuing to work hard at keep our parking lot safe and traffic moving smoothly.

CEA
Our Christian Educator Association conference will take place on October 24 and 25, so school will not be in session on those days. Additionally, our staff is engaging in a day of learning on October 23 impacting our calendar as well. Therefore, students will have a fall break from October 23-25. Thank you for your support as we grow our teachers.
Favorite Things
A few kind parents have asked about teachers’ favorite things. Shh…. here are some of their favorites! 😉
Medication at School
If your child needs to take medication at school, we need an updated form signed by their physician each school year. If you have not done this yet, please do so ASAP. The medication forms can be found on the Medical Information and Forms Page for your convenience. You are welcome to email Hendrina Cupery, our school nurse, who will help you set up a plan for the office to assist in administering the medication. For safety reasons, Holland Christian Schools is not able to dispense any medication (prescription or non-prescription) to our students without a doctor’s order. Thank you!
Absences
Please call the school office at 616.820.4055 any time before 8:30am to let us know each day your child will be absent. You may leave a voicemail at any time and it will be checked in the morning when the office opens. Please be sure to include symptoms.
