All Rockwell students will have vision and hearing screening this Thursday, January 15th during the school day.  

If your child wears glasses, please make sure your child brings the glasses to school on Thursday to wear during the vision screening.  Screening is supervised by Lake Washington School District school nurses.  Parents will be contacted by the school nurse if there are any concerns needing additional follow-up outside of school.

Heritage Night Photos Needed for Yearbook

Heritage Night is Thursday, January 22nd. It is a wonderful time to get photos of our beautifully diverse community participating in activities, costume and of course, eating! Can you help? We'd love to have one or two photographers capturing the memories from that evening.

If you have any photos from back to school, Halloween or holiday parties, please submit them before January 31st - those pages will be completed at that time and we won't be able to change the layouts for late photos.

If you have photos to send us (fewer than ten), please visit https://community.lifetouch.com/. Register and use our NEW school access code: LMGOVR. You will be able to upload photos directly to LifeTouch. If you have lots of photos, you can send a flash drive to the office and we'll return it to you ASAP.

Are you creative? Would you like to see the Rockwell yearbook become the best book ever? Do you like to learn new software? The entire yearbook is created electronically and the software is easy to learn. The yearbook team is fun and there is always room for more people.

Thanks!

• Student Directories come home this week - PTA thanks parent volunteer Jessica Johnson for coordinating this project.

• The Salmon tanks at school now have 230 Coho salmon eggs thanks to our "4th grade Salmon in the Classroom" parent coordinator Tim Nightengale. The hatchery says that these eggs are pretty far along, so we will likely see them hatch into alevins within a week or so.

Funding for Rockwell's PTA programs such as field trips, enrichment programs, classroom grants, and so much more rely heavily on our parents remembering to submit 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! Thank you!
