Lunch Recess Volunteers Needed
We have an immediate need for parent volunteers to assist with lunch recess. Volunteers are needed to help Monday through Friday, for shifts between 11:40AM and 1:00PM. Volunteers will help coordinate specific recess activities for kiddos during lunch recess.
Specifically, volunteers will help manage a small group of kids for specific games (i.e. red light/green light game, coloring station, loom band crafts, shark/minnows sports challenges, HORSE basketball games, etc.) We'd love to have 4-6 parents helping each and every day. Even if you're not able to help the whole shift, we'd love the extra hands for even half and hour. In case you'd like to coordinate your volunteer shift to align with your child's recess, here's the recess schedule:
Kindergarten: 11:40AM - 12:00PM
1st Grade: 11:50AM - 12:30PM
2nd Grade: 12:00PM - 12:30PM
3rd Grade: 12:10PM - 12:40PM
4th Grade: 12:20PM - 12:50PM
5th Grade: 12:30PM - 1:00PM
This is an on-going volunteer opportunity, and we'd love for you to sign up for one shift, or even a dozen. To volunteer, sign-up HERE
PLEASE NOTE: You must be an approved LWSD volunteer (you can apply HERE if you're not already a registered volunteer). You also need to verify your vaccination status with the district, or Stacy Hatch in our front office (you must bring your vaccination card and ID).

Picture Retake Day
Postponed Until Further Notice
Like many companies, LifeTouch is experiencing staffing issues. We would normally have our proofs from the first picture day by now, however, they're still not complete. We want families to have proofs from the first picture day before deciding whether to register for re-take day, so we're once again having to reschedule re-take day.
Picture re-take day will not happen on November 17th as initially advertised. We're looking at new dates in early December, and will update families when Lifetouch has a better sense of when our first proofs will be be ready.
Thank you for your patience.

Spring Musical Chair Needed!
We are starting to ramp up to have a Covid safe musical this spring and we need your help! If has been a Rockwell tradition for years to have the 4th and 5th graders volunteer to perform a musical at the end of April, but we need to start the preparations for that now.
In the past, we have used theater companies to teach the students the musical in and after school, but we need 4th and 5th grade parents to chair (or co-chair) and organize both the production company and the student volunteers.
