We still need your help with the FALL Teacher/Staff birthday luncheon this Thursday, Nov. 12th.  We have 75+ hungry mouths to feed.  Please consider volunteering a food item (see link here) and or your time.

 

Let's celebrate these Teachers and Staff and show them how much they are appreciated.  Let's send them away from lunch with a full belly.  They are pretty darn awesome!

 

Thanks in advance,

Ami King

VP of Volunteer Services/Rockwell PTA

Trips have been tallied and the results are in. Norman Rockwell has raised $1,130!  Thank you to all families who participated by walking, biking, carpooling, and logging these trips in their SchoolPool calendars. Together, families from the seven LWSD schools who participated, reduced over 2,000 drive alone trips in October.

Be on the lookout for SchoolPool to return in the spring!

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!

Kirsten Gometz

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.

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:

Mrs. Mobley at [email protected]  -  Thank you!

Rockwell Chess Club Chair 

Recess Running Club continues through the fall...and so does our need for parent volunteers! Come help punch lap cards on Tuesdays and Thursdays and cheer on our runners.  Please sign up for a shift here.

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. 

 

CLICK HERE FOR more details on this position.

 

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.
