The Rose Reporter
A Note From The Principal
We know that news and reports of recent ICE activity in our broader Escondido community can bring up deep feelings of anxiety, fear, and uncertainty for many of our families and children. Please know that we are right here beside you, ready to listen, help, and keep our community feeling safe and supported.
We want to reassure you that Rose Elementary is, and will always be, a safe and welcoming place for every single one of our Dolphins and their families. Our highest priority is your child's safety, emotional well-being, and sense of belonging. To help ease any worries about our campus environment, we want to share our district protocols:
- Strict Visitor Protocols and Closed Campus: All visitors are screened upon entry to campus with our video doorbell system. All visitors need to state their purpose, be given entry from our office staff, and sign in with a valid ID before entering campus.
- All campus doors are closed except during drop off and dismissal.
- Law Enforcement Protocols: We do not permit state or federal law enforcement agencies on our school campus with proper documentation. Any official request or documentation must be submitted directly to our District Superintendent, Andrew McGuire, at the District Office for review and approval.
- A Safe Environment for Learning: Our classrooms have dedicated time to support our campus routines, care, and stability, ensuring our students feel safe and nurtured every day.
Our entire staff is dedicated to walking alongside your family with love, care, and compassion. If your child is feeling anxious, or if your family needs extra support, resources, or simply someone to talk to, please do not hesitate to reach out at 760-432-2495.

ATTENDANCE INFORMATION
We have seen a significant increase in students arriving to school late. When students arrive late, they are marked tardy. By arriving late to school, even three to five minutes, students miss out on valuable instruction and opportunities to engage with their classrooms' daily schedule. The first bell rings at 7:55 and all students should be in their classroom line, ready to start the day. Students are considered tardy, if they are not in their line when the second bell rings at 8:00.

FAMILY ENGAGEMENT
- Our Family Engagement Center (Room 24) will be CLOSED on Monday, Nov 2 through Wednesday, Nov 4, 2026 due to voting/polling taking place in the room.
- November is Family Engagement Month! It is a time to celebrate the important role families play in their children’s learning and to build strong partnerships between families and schools. Over 35 years of research shows that when families and schools work together, students are more likely to be successful in school. Throughout the month of November, we celebrate and strengthen family-school partnerships by listening to families, building on the strengths, knowledge, and experiences they bring to our school communities, and finding meaningful ways to work together for student success. When families and schools come together as one team, we are stronger together.
