Trailblazer Times
November 22, 2024
Hello, Trailblazer Families!
On behalf of the Rollins Faculty and Staff, we want to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving! We are so grateful for you all, and we appreciate your ongoing partnership and collaboration in our efforts to provide the best for our students and staff. We are so fortunate to get to spend our days learning, living, and laughing with your child. It is truly our greatest joy. We wish you rest and quality family time during the break! We will see you Monday, December 2.
Please see our 12 Days of Christmas Dress-up Days, starting Thursday, December 5. These are entirely optional, but it makes our last days before the winter break a lot of fun!
Repeats from Last Week:
Per state law, we are only allowed 9 snack days, so we cannot accept snacks (birthday cupcakes, donuts, etc.) on days other than ones designated. Teachers are communicating snack days out on ROOMS, and we will continue to add them below on upcoming dates.
In order to minimize disruptions to the academic day, any gifts that are brought to school for students are to remain in the office until the end of the day.
Please see district policy below on visitors to the classroom for observations. We welcome any and all visitors, but we want to follow guidelines set forth by the district.
As a reminder, please make sure water bottles, lunchboxes, jackets, and any other outerwear is labeled with your child's first and last name on it. We continue to have an excessive amount of items not claimed. We can return items to their owner if they are labeled.
Carrie Farris, Principal
Jody Johnson, Assistant Principal
