Rocket Family Weekly Update
April 22-26, 2024
Weekly Note from Mrs. Clement
April 21, 2024
Dear Rocket Families,
VERY important reminders for this week:
- Beginning tomorrow, we will begin our SCHOOL-WIDE End-of-Year Assessments beginning with mClass and NWEA MAP Assessments in both Reading and Math. This is for ALL GRADES - Kindergarten - 5th Grade. It is CRUCIAL that your child be PRESENT and ON TIME for the remainder of the school year.
- Please join us this TUESDAY, APRIL 23, for our Spring Rocket Family Engagement Night from 5-7 PM. We will be hosting our Spring Book Fair and an Art Show where the work of ALL our students (Pre-K - 5th Grade) will be showcased! We will be serving Hotdogs and Tater Tots for supper until we run out!
- Kindergarten Orientation will take place this Thursday, April 25 from 4:00-6:00 PM!
I'm excited to share that next Friday, May 3, ALL students in grades 3-5 will get to participate in KEEP POUNDING DAY with the Carolina Panthers at the Kiwanis Park. This is NOT a field trip - simply a presentation that is off campus! Our students will have a fun-filled time and will have lunch off site (we have shared all allergy information) and will receive some special treats! The Panthers Community Relations Team is working in conjunction with Norris Library and the Town of Rutherfordton to provide this event for our students. More info will be shared soon.
As always, please feel free to reach out to me anytime should you have any questions, concerns and/or suggestions. I may be reached at mclement@rcsnc.org, by way of Class Dojo or by calling the school at (828) 287-3778.
Best,
Michelle Clement
Principal
