Rockbrook Update
Extended Learning Info for Families and Students

Principal's Update
As we start our third day of Extended Learning and draw our first week to a close I hope this message finds each of you well. Our community, though distanced by necessity has come together this week in new and innovative ways that remind me why I am so proud to be part of Westside Community Schools and Rockbrook. Thank to students, parents, and, teachers for showing exceptional flexibility so that learning can continue even in times of hardship.
A reminder for next week that Mondays are teacher planning days. This is a great day for kids to help out with jobs around the house, and we encourage you to be reading for our Rockbrook Read-A-Thon and recording your minutes. If you haven't yet done so, be sure to place a Read-Aloud Request (Rockbrook Read-Aloud Request form ) and I'll be using that to plan future stories to share. Prior stories can also be accessed on our Rockbrook School-Wide Extended Learning Google Classroom that all students were invited to (students who don't use Google Classroom with their teacher may need to download it from Self Service).
For those interested, there will be meals available for pickup each Monday from 8:30-12:30 at West Campus (Current Prairie Lane Swing School), Westbrook, and Westside Middle School. Please reach out to me or your child's teacher if you should have any questions about your child's learning or if you should need any help or supports.
