This fall marks the 40th anniversary of Norman Rockwell Elementary School! We are all very much hoping our community will be healthy enough to gather in person, so in that spirit, we're starting to pull together a "40th anniversary committee." We have already started asking for tshirt designs in the Beagle Bugle. In addition, the committee's role will be to gather pictures, stories, and memorabilia from the last 40 years of Rockwell and highlight them throughout the year. We are tentatively planning on kicking off the event at the Back To School Picnic in September. If you are interested in joining us, or have something to share, please email Gretchen Knapp at volunteering@normanrockwellpta.org"

Hello Parents!
We are holding a special General Membership Meeting on June 10 at 7pm. The meeting will be very short. We have two pieces of business that require a membership vote so the meeting will probably only last 10 minutes. Please join us if you are a current Rockwell PTA member.

Dear Families, Administrators and Teachers:
The Norman Rockwell PTA knows that a strong partnership among our families, school leaders and community members is important to the success of our students and school. That’s why we are participating in the National PTA School of Excellence program, which grows partnerships between PTAs and schools to enrich the educational experience and overall well-being of all students.
At a National PTA School of Excellence, families feel welcomed and empowered to support student success, and PTA is a key partner for continuous school improvement. We have worked hard this year to ensure that Norman Rockwell Elementary and Norman Rockwell PTA achieve this goal. We are working toward national, state and community-wide visibility for the positive impact we are making together at Norman Rockwell Elementary.
We need your help! As part of the process, National PTA requests feedback from families, administrators and teachers at two points in the school year—the beginning and the end. Your feedback will help us understand if we have been successful in our goal of improving our family-school partnership and achieving excellence.
Please take 5-10 minutes to reflect on your experience at our school and complete this survey. Select the answer that most accurately expresses how you feel about your experience. This survey is completely anonymous.

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.
