Parent Info Session


ï»żWednesday Jan 17, 7pm

in the gym

Click here for Play Info

Auditions for the Spring play are just around the corner! For those who don’t know, Rockwell’s Spring play is a long-standing community tradition. Kids who’ve grown up in the Rockwell community know that students CANNOT WAIT until they’re in 4th grade because it means they’re finally old enough to participate in the spring play. This year we’ve partnered with Youth Theater Northwest for an extra special production!


Please join us for a special parent information session on Wednesday, January 17 at 7:00pm inside the Rockwell gym. All your burning questions about commitment, timing, logistics, etc. will be answered then. Parents who join us for that meeting will receive a link for early registration to the play (meaning those kiddos are guaranteed a spot in the play). Early registration for the play will take place January 22-January 28. Open registration will run January 29-February 2. This year’s registration fees are the same as last year: $215. Auditions are tentatively scheduled for February 7-8.


We are still looking for a few 4th grade parents willing to take on leadership roles with this year’s production (if you join the leadership team, your child is guaranteed a spot in the play!)


If you’d like to join the leadership team, or if you have questions about the upcoming parent information session, please email rockwellplay2024@gmail.com


As always, your PTA is committed to ensuring that ALL children are able to participate in PTA sponsored activities, regardless of any financial hardships your family might be experiencing. We have scholarships available to cover registration fees for families who cannot otherwise afford the $215 cost. Please email our school counselor, Ms. Keller, if you’d like to use a scholarship for the registration fee. Her email is kkeller@lwsd.org

Rockwell STEAM Night

Thursday, February 1, 2024 6:00-8:00 pm

in the Rockwell Gym

PTA's STEAM Night is coming and we welcome the entire Rockwell Elementary community to explore all things science, engineering, art, and math! 
Come for an evening filled with hands-on activities from local businesses and clubs. We'll have fun make-and-take activities like a light-up wand and binary code keychain led by our parent volunteers. Learn what to do during an emergency with our E-prep chair and the City of Redmond Emergency Management team. Finish our scavenger hunt and earn a chance to win one of three grand prizes! Beagles, let's buckle up and STEAM ahead for an evening of exploration and discovery! 
This event wouldn't happen without volunteers like you. Please consider helping at STEAM Night. Sign up here
