Rock Creek News
Keeping up with the Redhawks! November 6, 2022 Edition
Dear Rock Creek Families,
We hope you've had a wonderful weekend! As a reminder, there is NO SCHOOL on Friday, November 11th, in observance of Veteran's Day. We are grateful for our very own Mrs. Cosentino's and Mrs. McCoy's service to our country!
We are focusing on gratitude this month and encourage you and your Red Hawk to work together to find one thing you're grateful for each day. I know I'm grateful for the wonderful school community we have here at Rock Creek! From our staff to our students to our families, Rock Creek's people are top notch!
This week, please be looking out for communication around parent-teacher conferences. We believe that a strong home-school connection sets our students up for success, so it's critical you take time to meet with your child's teacher!
Don't forget that Tuesday is our last day for collecting WE Club donations of hygiene kits and adult coats!
Warmly,
Bevin Graham
Principal
