Keeping up with the Redhawks! April 30, 2023 Edition
Dear Rock Creek Families,
We hope you had a wonderful weekend of sunshine! We are in the last month of school and there is a lot to keep track of this time of year! Please be sure to watch out for communication from your child's teacher this month so you don't miss any important updates!
This week brings us staff appreciation week. I want to take a minute to thank our incredibly wonderful and dedicated staff who bring smiles and hard work to give our kids the best educational opportunities. Our maintenance and custodial crew ensure that our buildings and grounds are kept up and in good shape for our students to learn in a safe environment. Our office staff and health aide keep the school running like a well-oiled machine, helping other staff, students, and families. Our instructional support staff help kids learn concepts and skills and keep them safe during recesses and lunch. Our child nutrition staff serve hundreds of our kids each day in a timely fashion with the biggest smiles on their faces! Our teaching staff create supportive micro-communities on campus that foster academic and social-emotional learning to ensure our kids are ready for the next step in their educational career.
Please take some time this week to thank them. They're the BEST!
Finally, this week our 3rd-6th graders will participate in state CAASPP testing. We will be testing in both English Language Arts and Math over the next two weeks. In addition, our 5th-graders will participate in the state science test (CAST). It is IMPERATIVE that our kids go to bed on time, arrive to school on time, and are present with a good breakfast in their tummies this week. We will test for short periods of time each day.
See you tomorrow!
Bevin Graham, Principal
