- On Monday, Community Club sponsored a monthly care gift for our staff, Coffee and treats from Paradise Bakery (Bonus - they TAGG so we will be able to further benefit from their support. Special thanks to the Cartwright family who help arrange delivery for this Community Club supported treat!)
- Conference Meals from QDOBA were delicious and helped support our teachers during Parent-Teacher Communication (Thanks to the Studts family who has helped for several years to make these arrangements for our hard-working staff.)

Thank You Book Fair Volunteers
Time for Jackets and Umbrellas (and don't forget to check the Lost & Found)
Note: if your child is missing one of these or other items, be sure to have them check the lost and found or stop by to claim missing items.
ROCKBROOK HALLOWEEN PARTIES, FRIDAY, OCT 28th @ 2:30PM
Fun and Friendly Costumes Please!
Halloween is coming soon, and we look forward to the chance for many of our traditional Halloween events. It’s time to think about your costumes. For our school parade and party please wear only fun and friendly costumes. Fun and friendly excludes blood, gore, scary/frightening masks or clothing, and weapons. We request you reserve makeup for your evening trick-or-treating. If anyone has questions concerning the appropriateness of a costume, please contact the office. Thank you for keeping things on the fun and light side!
Parade and Parties
Please do not have your child wear costumes to school. If your child's costume includes typical school-appropriate clothing or can be worn underneath, these are great options. Students will have some time afforded to change before the parade but need to do so with minimal assistance from teachers.
To make sure we have enough room for the fun activities planned in classrooms we ask that families only join the classroom parties if they are one of the signed up volunteer families.
All families are welcome to join for our annual costume parade! If weather permits, this parade will come out the Northwest doors, along the parking lot, and back in the main entrance before the parties begin. Parents are welcome to come view the parade outside which will take place at 2:30pm.
Food Safety
Please remember to follow the District Approved Snack List. Linked is the list of what to bring for parties or birthdays. Thanks for helping to make Rockbrook a caring community for all of our students. We hope you have a fun and safe Halloween! While students will enjoy some treats in the room, most will be sent home for parent review.
Rockbrook Celebrates Unity Day
Rockbrook was excited to participate in Unity Day this week on Wed, Oct 19th.
Unity Day is an annual event occurring during National Bullying Prevention Month in October that promotes joining together to create healthier communities through kindness, acceptance, and inclusion.
ROCKBROOK PBIS SKILLS OCT. 24th -28th
Each week we focus on a Social Skill and a School-Wide Expectation as a part of PBIS (Positive Behavior in School) program. Reviewing these expectations and using similar language at home can help to reinforce your child making positive choices both at school and home.
