Dear Rogers Primary School Community Member:

Progress is continuing on the new school building on Scott Avenue, and the project is on track to be completed and open for the start of the 2018-19 school year. As part of the future of the new school building, we invite you to attend a Town Hall Meeting for an update on the school construction project as well as an update on the transition plan for the opening of the building and merging two schools.

The Town Hall Meeting will be at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, January 22, in the Shaler Area Elementary School auditorium, located at 700 Scott Avenue, across from the new school construction site. District administrators, school principals and representatives from HHSDR Architects/Engineers and Massaro Construction Management Services will be present at the meeting to answer any questions.

We have posted the information about kindergarten registration on the District web page. Shaler Area School District will begin registration during the week of March 5, 2018. I will be sending out information soon. If you or your neighbors have any specific questions about school registration or transfers to our school, please feel free to call me.

Please be advised that Shaler Area School District students will attend class on Wednesday, March 28, 2018, as aresult of classes being canceled on Friday, January 5, due to inclement weather. The make-up day is in accordance with the make-up days outlined in the 2017-18 school calendar.
