Notes from the Office
What a beautiful week on campus! We had spectacular weather, and the deer are back on campus.
Conferences and Book Fair are here! Thank you to our volunteers who make Book Fair possible, and of course our amazing Mrs. McDowell! Your love of books is infectious!
Lost and Found! October is cold, hot, cold--which means lost and found is OVERFLOWING like it does each October. Thanks for stopping by and helping us find homes for some great jackets, gloves, hats and water bottles galore!
Mark the Date! Before Halloween there is Track! October 24: Leawood Invitational is back (a little later than usual), and it is also BE A CHAMPION Spirit Day for all K-5! See details here, and plan to Be a Champion October 24!
Halloween is a Red Rocks tradition and your help is needed to keep it safe and on track. See Halloween Costumes rules that have refreshed reminders--particularly for adults who like to dress up, and stay tuned as we watch the weather for our annual outdoor parade (with details on where families can watch the parade). Parade, weather dependent, is at 1:30, and parties to start after,
around 1:45. Thank you for keeping this a positive and safe tradition at our school.
Halloween part 2: Our Friends at The Town of Morrison invite you to a special Trunk or Treat! Learn More: Here
Did you know? We have a new award that started this month. Our students #ROCK, or they Reach Out with Character and Kindness. Students are nominated for special recognition, and nominees get announced in the morning. One winner from K-2 and one from 3-5 are selected at the end of each month. We see our students shining, and it is a great new tradition at Red Rocks!
Dig into Data? Hear about District Trends? Come Oct 10 at 6:30PM for our School Accountability Committee. It is a great place to ask questions about school improvement and overall school practices. Tuesday night we will host a guest speaker on school data and hear an update on district culture conversations. You can contact SAC Chair Chris Bauer or Mr. I for me. For those wishing to join at home, PTA is hosting a zoom link:

October 11: Hear from Tracy Dorland, Jeffco Superintendent, at Bear Creek High School is a smaller setting, 5:30PM. Mr. Isaac will also attend.
Grades 3-5: Heads up! Help us keep kids safe and engaged in a positive learning environment. With the increase of student smart watches, we are seeing students who would benefit from a reminder about district and school expectations on smart device rules. Please review the device expectations and reach out to teachers or the office for questions: Red Rocks Family Handbook
Reminder: Teacher Planning Day is October 19, no school for students, and Fall Break, No School on October 20
Book Fair is October 6-October 13
A lot of volunteers are needed to make our book fair successful. Use the Sign Up Genius to help out.
Mrs. McDowell also needs one person to help with morning set up and end of day. Email her at Lynne.McDowell@jeffco.k12.co.us If you are interested.
