PARKING LOT: DROP OFF/PICK UP PROCEDURES
| |
Dear Rockwell families,
Thank you to all of you who are making an effort to walk and carpool this year. On Walk to School Day, we noticed a decrease in car traffic, which was great and which ensured that we were able to get all students to class on time. We appreciate your help with this!
If you must drop off or pick up students at any time, please remember to use the designated drop off areas only - student should only exit or enter cars from the right side, in the right lane, and only between the mailbox and the Principal parking spot. This is our supervised, safest area.
Additionally, please ensure not to block the lane entrance, which is now marked by yellow lines, AT ANY TIME. For traffic safety, this area must be kept clear so that district transportation and/or emergency vehicles can enter as soon as they arrive at school. If you are waiting to enter the pick-up or drop-off lane, please do so at the curbside until traffic moves forward, so the bus lane entrance area is left clear.
Thank you for your help!
Rockwell Principal

We would like to invite all veterans to join us for our Veteran's Day assemblies on Tuesday, November 10.

If you have a veteran in your family, please invite them to join us so that we may thank them for their service, and let me know who will be attending at kgometz@lwsd.org.
Thank you, as always, for sharing your wonderful children with us. Rockwell Principal

5th GRADERS - MORNING SAFETY PATROL STAFF NEEDED!
| |
Attention 5th Graders!
Are you interested in joining Safety Patrol?
Are you looking for a way to show your leadership skills and take on added responsibilities? Then Safety Patrol is a good option for you. You will learn to be part of a very important team while helping to provide a safer environment for all students at Norman Rockwell.
Come find out more about Safety Patrol at our lunch meeting this Wednesday, November 4th. Bring your lunch and join us in Mrs. Conklin's portable at 12:20. We are also looking forward to having guest speakers, Officer Lipana and Officer Alsin from the Redmond Police Department at our meeting.
We could really use more help in the morning. Patrollers need to arrive to school by 8:05 each morning, so you wouldn't be able to participate if you have to ride the bus, unless of course, your parents can give you a ride to school. If you participate in band or orchestra, that's not a problem, as I can set up a substitute for you the two mornings you would be gone for those activities.
I'm very proud of the 23 students that are currently serving on Safety Patrol! Come join them in making Rockwell a safer place.
If you'd like more information, please contact:

LEGISLATIVE ADVOCATE NEEDED
| |
ROCKWELL PTA BOARD Seeking Legislative Advocate
Are you passionate about our children's rights when it comes to the quality of education they are receiving? This includes everything from classroom/school size, new buildings/updates and state spending decisions. If so, Rockwell is looking for someone who can serve as that voice for our kids and our school. You do not need to be a registered voter to assist - just someone who is willing to help serve as that voice and fight for our students' educational rights! If so, then please join us in helping to serve as our school's Legislative Advocate.
Also, this position can also be split between two volunteers: one advocate handles state/district level support and the other handles school-specific support (such as the upcoming Bond Measure). We have a lot of documentation and materials from previous years, so plenty of training and support can be offered for this position.
