Trailblazer Times
September 6, 2024
Hello, Trailblazer Families!
Good morning! We had a great four days of school, with a FANTASTIC House Rally to end the week! New students and staff were sorted into houses! The 24-25 House Captains and Lieutenants were presented and led their houses well today! If you want more information about our Rollins House System and our learner powers, please see the button below!
If you are arriving to school in the car line at 7:44 or after, please pull into the lane closest to the building so students can unload safely without crossing another traffic lane. Those on duty need to get into the building at 7:45 to start our instructional day, and duty coverage ends out front at that time. In the afternoon, if a student does not come to the car in the lines, please notify a duty teacher as soon as you can, prior to us moving cars. We may be able to get that student to the vehicle without slowing down or disrupting the flow of the line.
Student-involved conferences are coming up soon on September 16 and 17th! We can't wait to share our amazing Trailblazer work with you and visit with you about ways we can continue to partner for your child's learning. If you have not already seen a sign-up from your child's teacher, please be looking for that!
Don't forget to join us MONDAY for our PTA Meeting, updates from administrators, information about new state assessments, and learning more about our new Benchmark Reading and Writing Curriculum. The Wooden Spoon Food Truck will be available for you to purchase some frozen meals for your family! We will see you Monday at 5:30!
On behalf of the Rollins faculty and staff, we want to thank you for stocking our teacher lounge! We appreciate the treats for when we need a pick-me-up! Have a wonderful weekend, and we hope you enjoy the weather!
Carrie Farris, Principal
Jody Johnson, Assistant Principal

PTA Update
Trailblazer Grandparents Breakfast
Celebrate Grandparents Day with us at our first-ever Trailblazer Grandparents Breakfast!
- Grandparents of students with last names A-M: Join us on September 12, from 7:15 a.m. to 8:15 a.m.
- Grandparents of students with last names N-Z: Join us on September 13, from 7:15 a.m. to 8:15 a.m.
PARKING AND TRANSPORTATION
- Please be patient. Our Grandparent's Breakfast is taking place during our school drop-off, and it will be hectic! Expect traffic!
- To leave space for teachers to park in the main parking lot, we are are asking grandparents to park in the grass to the left of the main entrance off Fletcher. If you have a handicap you may park in the parking lot.
- Please refrain from parking in the back parking lot as this is where both buses and PreK drop off.
- If you are able to carpool or walk from your neighborhood, please do so.
ONCE YOU ARRIVE
- Grandparents will be asked to register with the PTA in the main lobby before entering the cafeteria area You will receive a ticket to get a muffin and a beverage of choice.
- Grandparents will then sit in the cafeteria with their grandchildren and enjoy a pleasant breakfast. We will also have a backdrop available for you to take a picture. All students who participate will receive a 4x6 print with their grandparent.
- Afterwards we invite them to go upstairs for exclusive early access to the Book Fair.
We can't wait to see you next week!
Join us Monday at 5:30 p.m. for a PTA Meeting and the State of the School. The PTA will go over the latest PTA updates and Principal Farris and Vice Principal Johnson will give us the latest on school stats and do a literacy simulation. Wooden Spoon will also be here with frozen meals!
Join us at Jersey Mikes until this Sunday Sept. 8. For every coupon used in store, they will donate $3 back to our school. Stop by and help us raise funds for our new outdoor classroom! Please see flyer below!
