Rockbrook Reminder
ROCKBROOK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL'S WEEKLY UPDATES | 04-17-2020
Principal's Message
I hope this week's communications finds you and your family well. Thank you to all of our students and families for their hard work during Extended Learning. Please take a few minutes to review some of the important announcements and reminders below.
Bulldog of the Week - This week we began our Bulldog of the Week awards, which recognize students for getting their work done on time, completely, and to high quality. If you haven't yet watched it, check out the announcement in our daily Rockbrook Update from Friday morning.
Hopefully our weekend will bring some warmer weather and melt off a bit of this snow. A reminder that Monday will be a teacher planning day, but students are encouraged to engage in resources from our Extended Learning Website.
Finally, please remember that our district continues to provide meals on Mondays for all families who wish to access:
- Westbrook Elementary at 1312 Robertson Drive 8:30 AM - 12:30 PM
- Prairie Lane Swing School at 3534 South 108th Street 8:30 AM - 12:30 PM
- Westside Middle School at 8601 Arbor Street 8:30 AM - 12:30 PM, 4:00 - 6:00 PM
Please let me know if your family has any other needs for support as we have district resources we would be happy to provide.

ARTSONIA - Your Child's Custom Art Work Products
We know that many of you use our Original Works programs for special family gifts, Mother's Day, Father's Day, etc. Unfortunately, these orders are currently delayed as is our ability to send in any student art for inclusion. While we will continue to work with this company we wanted to make sure and make you aware of similar offerings through ARTSONIA.
To order from Artsonia, please go to Artsonia.com and click on "Parents" in the top left corner. You will log in with the account you created when you approved Artsonia for your student. If you do not remember your login details, please email Mrs. Johnson at johnson.bryn@westside66.net and she can send you your student's code.
