Mrs. Walton's Update
I want to take this opportunity and THANK YOU for your cooperation and flexibility as we maneuver through all the ever changing updates related to COVID-19. Please remember that your child's health and well being is our first priority. Therefore, I need your full cooperation when we call upon you to follow the constantly changing regulations for COVID-19. Please do not shoot the messenger. Our Health office is doing everything in their power to keep up to date and at the same time keep everyone healthy and safe.
The benchmark for ELA and Mathematics will begin on 1/18 to 1/21. We ask you to encourage your child to take all STAR assessments seriously! This is an area where we are developing district wide academic assessments in order to ensure our students are able to meet to NYS standards. Thank you in advance or your support.

Celebrating Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
Serving Our Lockport Community
Our Student Council members with their Moderator, Mrs. Lisa Madden, collected warm hats and mittens for our student population for our December community service project. At RBK the students love playing in the snow and sledding down the hills in front and behind the school. The hats and mittens that were generously donated will definitely go to good use! We are preparing for our first annual “Snow Much Fun Week” in February where the entire school will participate in winter wonderland activities like sledding, snow cones, making snowmen and
designing snow forts while using their skills learned from STEM class. All the donations will be put to good use! Thank you for supporting our RBK learning community!
