See It. Report It.
This week, students have been watching the Say Something videos to learn how to report safety concerns using the Say Something Anonymous Reporting System.
Through this system, you can securely and anonymously submit tips to help protect someone who may be at risk of harming themselves or others. Remember, your voice can make a difference.
If you see it, say something.
Together, we create a safer school community!

What Is National School Lunch Week?
Learning is tough work—and kids need fuel if they’re going to learn! That’s why a healthy midday meal is crucial to the growing children who go to school. Since 1962, when President John F. Kennedy created National School Lunch Week (NSLW), this annual observance has promoted the importance of a healthy school lunch in a child’s life and the impact it has both in and out of the classroom.


In celebration of Rockford Elementary School exceeding academic growth for the 23-24 school year, Mrs. Waters and Mrs. Queen treated staff to lunch and entertainment this afternoon. Rockford Elementary is a great place to work and learn thanks to the amazing staff!

This annual designation promotes standing up against and putting an end to bullying. No child should be afraid to ride a bus or go to school because a classmate threatens them. Children who have been bullied should also feel they can report the incident without repercussions.
