HEALTH ROOM - MID YEAR CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS
| |
Our wonderful office staff is getting inundated with little visitors to the Health Room...and need more parent helpers!
If you can spare a few hours a month or a week to help "staff" the  health room, it would be greatly appreciated. Mostly it involves bandaging little cuts or applying ice packs, taking temps, filling out paperwork and sometimes calling parents.
You will be trained and serious cases will be handled by the office staff. If you are already trained, please consider signing up for another shift. Mid-morning to mid-afternoon (covering recess and lunch) is the most important time for volunteers!
Please email Melissa Sutton for more information!

Dear Rockwell Families,
Rockwell Staff are hoping to ask our community for help in acquiring as many USB mice as possible. We'd like to get all of our students working with the technology for State testing as soon as we can and at the same time. It would be greatly appreciated and helpful if any unused mice could be donated to the school.
Please drop them off at the front office with Julie and Kerry. As always, thank you for your continued support of our school, staff, and students!
Thanks again!
Jimmy Cho
