We had a great week at Rosa Parks Elementary! There are several events and celebrations planned for the last few weeks of school. Please see updates below. Have a wonderful week!

Rosa Parks Rockets donated 6,939 bags!!! The grade level with the most donations was first grade with 1,749 bags. We are so proud of our Rockets and their efforts to reduce, reuse, and recycle!

This week we are celebrating our bus drivers and all they do to get our Rockets to and from school safely each day. Please take a moment to thank your bus driver this week and let them know how much they are appreciated!

Cinco de Mayo is a celebration of Mexican heritage, culture, and pride. Students and staff will participate in activities in honor of this important day. Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Friday, May 3rd is Cafeteria Staff Appreciation Day. Our cafeteria staff prepares healthy meals for our students for breakfast and lunch. We appreciate the time they take to ensure our students are fed and ready to learn!

Come join us on Tuesday, May 7th from 6:00-7:30 p.m. for a PTO Meeting followed by a series of performances by The Rosa Parks Stars. We hope to see you there!

To ensure the safety and security of our students we are asking all parents who drop off and pick up their child/children in a vehicle to follow the parking lot procedures below:

• Do not exceed 15 miles per hour
  
• Avoid using the bus line
  
• Do not pass other vehicles
  
• Watch for pedestrians at all times
  
• Do not use cell phones

Thanks for your support and attention to this important matter. We love our students and families and want to ensure their safety and security!

Students must be in their classroom by 8:10 a.m. or they will be counted tardy for the day. Morning announcements will begin at 8:10 a.m. For the safety of your child or children, please do not drop them off before 7:30 a.m. There is no adult supervision before 7:30 a.m.

All classes will have a scheduled snack time. Please send only healthy, dry, finger-food type snacks with your child as we are still working during snack time.
