Created on February 1st, 2023Take a few moments to listen to what our students, parents, and teachers have to say about our year-round elementary school! Any family living within the Urbandale Community School District boundaries, or outside the UCSD boundaries, can choose to attend our year-round elementary school. Bus transportation is available anywhere within district boundaries outside of the walk zone. We would love the opportunity to share more about our year-round school and all it has to offer your child and family. Please reach out to Rolling Green Principal Dania Wilson to learn more. Note: Beginning in the 2023-24 school year, the year-round program will move to Karen Acres Elementary.
Year-Round Learning—Year-Round Fun
One of the many things that makes Urbandale unique is the year-round elementary school found right in the heart of the Urbandale Community School District. Rolling Green Elementary is a school of choice which means families choose to attend Rolling Green school no matter where they live in the district. This is in contrast to other schools where students are assigned a school based on the proximity of their home to their neighborhood school. Bus transportation is available anywhere within district boundaries outside of the walk zone. Note: Beginning in the 2023-24 school year, the year-round program will move to Karen Acres Elementary; here is the Elementary Boundary Map beginning in the 2023-24 school year.
“Year-round” means we’re able to provide even more learning opportunities throughout the year, but it does not mean that students go to school every day of the year. Rolling Green is in session the same number of days as elementary schools on the traditional year calendar. Rolling Green’s summer break is a full six weeks long and the schedule provides more frequent breaks throughout the year which gives everyone the chance to reset and refresh! On most breaks, Rolling Green offers optional, theme-based programming for a small fee. This provides families additional childcare and gives kids fun, hands-on learning experiences that include fantastic field trips.
We would love the opportunity to share more about our year-round school with you and all it has to offer your child and family. Please reach out to Principal Dania Wilson to learn more. We hope to welcome your family to our year-round school this fall! (Note: Beginning in the 2023-24 school year, the year-round program will move to Karen Acres Elementary)
