Asynchronous Work Dates for 2/3 and 4/5
As with the K/1 transition, both the 2/3 and 4/5 grade bands will engage in a week of asynchronous work as teachers and other team members prepare for the shift in learning models and classes. Second and Third grade families: your dates will be March 10, 11, 15, 16, and 17. Fourth and Fifth grade families: your dates will be March 22-26. The materials for the week are being developed by the district and will be posted to a SharePoint site. I will email out a link to the site and directions on how to access the materials to each grade. Please be sure to log in to the SharePoint site at least once each day, as this is how we’ll be taking attendance.

Grade-level teams will share more specific information about pick-up procedures in classroom newsletters. Please mark these Fetch dates on your calendar: 3/10, 3/24, 4/21, 5/19.

A quick instruction guide to parking lot etiquette to ensure lines of cars flow efficiently and safety remains top priority; please follow these traffic tips:
- Buses only in the lane closest to the building.
- Drop off/pick up from the upper lot -- right lane only.
- The left lane is only for cars driving through or to park.
- Drop off/pick up children from the far side of the mailbox only. If your car is behind the mailbox, do not ask student to enter/exit vehicle.
- Parents are asked to stay in their vehicle.
- Continuously Pull Forward- do not park or let your child out if the car in front of you is moving.
- Reserved spaces are for staff.
- Do not pickup/drop off students in the small side lot.
- Rockwell is an idle-free zone. Turn off your engines as you wait in pick up lane.
These tips will ensure a safe arrival/departure and an expedited process.
