Student Council Informational Meeting
New Dining Out Partner - La Casa (At 82nd & Grover)
When: Wednesday, January 25th, ALL DAY event (11am - 9pm).
How: When ordering be sure to let the La Casa staff know you are supporting Rockbrook.
What: La Casa will donate 10% of Rockbrook purchases back to the school to support the School and Community Club and the programs and events for our kids.

School Status Communication System
What does this mean for me...?
The first time you receive a call or text through School Status you'll be notified and have the opportunity to confirm this method of contact. Normal phone and text messaging rates apply. Our hope would be to provide teachers and families another tool to communicate about their child's education.
