Dear RWA Families,

Welcome back! We hope everyone had a wonderful winter break and we wish you all a happy New Year! We want to take a moment to thank all of our families that donated to our One Warm Coat drive and Connect with a Wish drive! We also would like to recognize the Long family in the Southern Sundrop class for their tremendous thoughtfulness in partnering with us to host a Connect with a Wish drive. Both drives were a huge success and we greatly appreciate those who could participate!

Re-enrollment

We can’t believe we are already looking forward to the 2021-2022 school year! Re-enrollment went home in your child’s folder on Wednesday, January 7th and Thursday, January 8th. Please return the form, along with a non-refundable check for $390.00 by February 1, 2021. The fee includes a Rollingwood Academy short-sleeve t-shirt.

Button Willow Program (18m-2year)

New class being offered for the 2021-2022 school year! Students may enter this program at 18 months - 2 years old. Our program is designed for movement, practical life activities, and understanding how materials work. Our students are encouraged to explore areas where they show an interest, while moving freely within the classroom. Fine motor, gross motor and self-help skills play an integral part of the Button Willow Program. 

Rollingwood Academy offers 2-day, 3-day and 5-day programs with the option of part-time and full-time.  We offer military and sibling discounts. Our foundation is built upon our Open Door Policy welcoming parents to observe their child through our surveillance system at their convenience. If you or someone you know wants to learn more about our new program, please don’t hesitate to ask!
