Spring Break was April 5-9. We know that our breaks are typically a time when staff and families decide to travel. Throughout this pandemic, we have highlighted the role the community plays in minimizing the spread of the virus. This has been done by a number of measures and includes paying attention to the travel guidance put out by the Center for Disease Control (CDC). If you are traveling for non-essential purposes, we ask that you review the travel guidance and follow the steps outlined. By following this guidance, we can ensure that our schools, classrooms and community are in alignment with health and safety precautions. Thank you for your attention to this guidance. 

Mr. Clark would like to extend the opportunity for you to attend a Principal Q & A on Monday, April 12, from 3:30 PM – 4 :30 PM. Please join us on the afternoon of the 12th to share your questions, comments, and interests by clicking on the link below at 3:30 PM today! Click here to join the meeting.

5^th Grade Candid Photo

In a normal year, we have all the 5^th graders gather at the school playground for a graduating class picture. Since we can’t do that this year, we’re asking for families/guardians to send a candid photos of their student so that we can put together a group collage.

Please send a high resolution image to yearbook@normanrockwellpta.org
