Parent volunteers are needed to assist with Rockwell's Vision and Hearing Screening Day NEXT Thursday, January 15th.  No experience is necessary.  School nurses from the district will train parent volunteers in screening.  A school nurse will recheck any child with a questionable screening result.  The only requirements are your time, willingness, and being an approved volunteer with the district.  

We are in need of 11 more volunteers for our morning shift (8:15-11:15am) and 14 more volunteers for the afternoon shift (11:45am-2:30pm), or sign up for the full day (8:15am-2:30pm) for double the fun!  Lunch is provided for full day volunteers!

Please contact Jan Stemple with your questions or to volunteer.

Dear Rockwell families,

 Welcome back! I hope you all had a wonderful two weeks with your children. I can't wait to see everyone back in the classrooms and ready to learn, and to hear all of their stories about how they have spent their break.

As we embrace this time of new beginnings, I wanted to let you know I have officially changed back to the name I was born with: Kirsten Gometz. The name dates from one of my Swedish ancestors, taken from the name of a village in Spain in which he was stationed a long time ago.  It's pronounced just as if you are rooting for the baseball team ("Go Mets!"). 

**When you reach the college answering machine press 8 and then enter extension 8612. Leave a message if  there is no answer and we will get back to you as soon as possible to schedule your appointment. 

• Rockwell's PTA programs such as field trips, enrichment programs, classroom grants, and much more rely heavily on our parents submitting their PTA donations (such as Pass the Hat) for corporate matching! Many area companies have a matching program (such as Microsoft an many others) so please don't delay and get your donation matched asap!  

• Additionally, lots of companies will pay our school for your volunteer hours spent here. If you're unsure, please check with your H.R. department.
