PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Toro Families,

March is here, bringing with it exciting events at our school! We are thrilled to celebrate Read Across DODEA Week from March 3-7 with fun daily themes that encourage a love for reading. Don’t forget that 2025-2026 School Year Re-Registration is now open via the Family Portal—please complete this process as soon as possible, with detailed instructions in the attached document.

Please remember to notify the school about any dismissal changes before 2:00 p.m. on regular days and 1:00 p.m. on Wednesdays to ensure your child's safety. We also look forward to the 3rd Annual Potato Book Character Contest and the Rota ES Scholastic Book Fair happening March 4-7.

Warm Regards,
Ken Kirk
