Donations are due on Wednesday, April 10! Donations can be collected and recorded on the pink chart, and turned in to your child's teachers. You may also share this link with family members and friends and they can donate online. Checks should be made payable to RCE PTA. All donations are tax-deductible!
Our students are excited for the run on Thursday, April 11. Please make sure your child wears tennis shoes and sunscreen to school that day!
We hope all of our Rangers have a safe and happy spring break next week!

At their February meeting, they voted not to send out an SIC school survey for feedback this year. Our SIC would like to solict your feedback in an ongoing manner through the use of email. Please use the email rockycreeksic@gmail.com and provide the RCE SIC members any thoughts, suggestions, and comments about RCE you'd like. Please note that your email will not be responded to immediately. It will be reviewed and discussed at the next SIC meeting, and then, you will receive a response from an SIC member.
Student Attendance
Due to new chronic absenteeism reporting procedures for the state, students are required to be at school for 50% of the day in order to be counted present, regardless of whether the absence is excused or unexcused. At the elementary level, students that arrive after 11:10 am, or who are dismissed prior to 11:10 am, are not counted present for the day. On Early Release Days, students who arrive after 9:45 am, or are dismissed before 9:45 am, will not be counted present for the day.
We will now be using School Messenger to TEXT important messages to you about school happenings. Please click on the link below to find out more information.
