Rollingwood Elementary Newsletter

Happy New Year Rocket Families! We are so excited to get the second semester started! The second semester is jam packed with learning, growing, and fun! Please take time to look over the important dates, and check this newsletter regularly for updates. The newsletter and Talking Points are the primary ways that the office will communicate with families so also make sure we have your most current phone number on file.

Our Spirit Night in January will be January 16th at Johnnie's Charcoal Broiler on NW Expressway. Let them know you are supporting Rollingwood when you oder.

Oklahoma City has the 3rd largest Martin Luther King Jr. Parade in the United States. The OKC MLK Alliance has been organizing that and related events for 40 years and has made it into not only one of the largest but the most diverse in the country. Putnam City Schools have participated, in some form or fashion, since I’ve been here (1997) and look forward to many more years of doing so.

This year Rollingwood Dance Group will be in the parade and all students and parents are welcome to join us in the parade. Please use this link to let us know you are interested in participating.

February 11, go vote in support of the the 2025 Putnam City Innovation Bond. The bond will not raise taxes if passed. Rollingwood will get security and plumbing upgrades as well as playground modifications including updating our soccer field. Visit the district website for more information.

• Joining PTO supports the students and teachers, if you haven't signed up please do. Download the form here and return it to the school.
• Please remember that school begins at 8:00am this year and the doors open at 7:30 for breakfast. Students are Tardy after 8:00.
  
• Dismissal begins at 3:00pm. If you want to check your student out early, that must be done no later 2:30pm
• If you drive a car to the school to pick up your child, the safest way for you to do that is through the car rider line. If time is an issue, arrive between 3:10 and 3:15 and you should not have to wait more than 5 minutes, under normal circumstances.
• Birthday snacks are welcome as long as they are store bought and prepackaged.

3rd grade will be managing snack for January. The choices will be Funyuns and Chocolate chip cookies. Money will be collected on Tuesdays.

We love having parents and families involved at Rollingwood.
