The staff at Rosemont are all about what is best for the students. Last year I contacted Mr. Sweeny about some acedemic issues my child was experiencing and to my surprise Mrs. Pearson, Mr. Sweeny and other staff members had already begun the evaluations. When we moved from another MCPS my child said and felt "stupid" because she was treated as such. Although, we are still facing difficulties in learning, my child and I both know Rosemont staff is here to help. Thank you to the team at Rosemont, you are the rock in ROCKET!!
