Red Rock Elementary School will be coming together for a schoolwide assembly to recognize this day in history. Your child's teacher will be delivering an age-appropriate lesson on this day.

Please help us maintain a safe environment by refraining from sending any nut or peanut products to school with your child for snacks and treats. This also includes any snacks or treats made in a facility with peanuts/tree nuts. Please review the ingredients label for “May contain peanuts/tree nuts” and/or “this product was produced in a facility that has peanuts/tree nuts.” We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to the school office for more clarification. If we feel there is a concern for the safety of food allergies, the food item will be sent back home. Fry's offers cupcakes that meet this criteria.

If your child has any food allergies, please contact the school health office to create a Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Emergency Care Plan (FARE). We will also determine if your child will need a designated area to eat lunch each day. Your child’s safety is our top priority.

Picture orders are due by Friday September 13, 2024. You can order pictures by returning the order form with cash (EXACT Amount) or check made payable to United Portraits or online using the customer code found on the order form.

In order to keep our students and staff safe during parent pickup and drop off, please follow these expectations:

• When arriving through the loop, pull your car all the way to the cone so we can get more students loaded and unloaded during the least amount of time.
• Do not get out of your vehicle when in the parent loop. You must park in the parking lot and use the crosswalk if you plan to get out of your car.
• Students may only enter in on the right side of the parent loop for safety.
• Parents and students are must use the crosswalk when crossing in the parking lot.
• If you are parking and walking to the front of the school to pick up your child, you must wait in the rock area, we need the sidewalk for students to get to their cars.

Annual verification registration is required for ALL returning students each new school year. If you haven't done so already, you will need to activate your new ParentVue account to access online registration.

Students have been completing their reading and math diagnostic on iReady. Once their diagnostic is completed, students will receive lessons in their iReady dashboards under their My Path, which are specific lessons that were identified that your child needs more support in. We ask that students complete 40 minutes a week in math, and 40 minutes a week in reading, to fill in any gaps they may have. There are opportunities to complete this in class, but if you have a device at home, students may also get additional lessons completed at home.

Please contact your child's teacher if you would like your child to complete these lessons at home and you need their login information.

This is the final week of the back to school 30% off sale! The last day of the sale is September 10th!
