Mrs. Freeman’s 4th-grade class took advantage of the great weather to do outside learning! We used chalk to review multiplying and division. Then we read “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” outside. It was a beautiful morning!
Last Tuesday, Kindergarten got to release butterflies from their classroom!
Good morning Gators! This is Mrs. Waters with events for the week. Monday will be day 3 in our specials rotation. This week we will celebrate our teachers and staff all week with a Totally 90s-themed Teacher Appreciation Week. Make sure you let your child’s teachers know how much you appreciate them and what an impact they have had this year. Our K-2 students will complete math benchmarks this week. I know they have learned a lot and I can’t wait to see their growth! On Tuesday, our 5th-grade students will attend transition night at Central Middle School. This event begins at 6:00. We wish them well as they begin their transition from Gators to Hornets. On Friday our SAVE Promise Club will meet after school. Please make sure your child has a note to attend. Also on Friday, money for Spring Pictures is due. Please send in the correct change for this. If you are not purchasing pictures, please return them to school. Looking ahead, our 3rd-5th grade students will take EOGs on May 14th-16th. Please make sure your child is in attendance each day. I hope you have a wonderful week.
We love our school lunch heroes! Thank you for all you do!
Mrs. Newman's third-grade class finished reading the Lemonade War this week. They celebrated with some lemonade of their own and a visit from the State Employees Credit Union. They have been learning about saving vs spending, starting your own business, making bad choices, and forgiveness. Thank you to our friends at SECU!
Our SAVE Promise club presented the Buddy Bench they have been working on all year long to our students this morning. They were inspired by the book "The Buddy Bench" by Patty Brozo and Mike Deas. They also read this book to everyone in hopes that they will use the Buddy Bench. Great work Gators! 🧡🐊💙
Make plans to attend!
Mrs. Salina from Dobson Community Library came to read and speak with Kindergarten, first, and second grades today. Students learned all about their summer reading program and colored bookmarks. We encourage everyone to read over the summer! Please check out Dobson Community Libraries summer reading program.
Parents, please check your students' take-home folders for any library book notices. We are having a Popsicles & Playground Day on May 9th for all classes that have all of their library books turned in! Thank you for your help with this!

Greetings, Rockford Gators-
This is Mrs. Queen calling with an important message for students who ride bus 53:
Unfortunately, we are unable to secure a driver for bus 53 this afternoon.
Students who ride bus 53 in the afternoon will need to be picked up in our car line at 3:00 PM.
Please communicate with your child's teacher or call the school at 374-6300 about afternoon transportation if needed.
Again, bus 53 will not run the afternoon route today, Tuesday, April 30.
We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding and flexibility,
Mrs. Fitzgerald, Mrs. Powell, Mrs. Mosley, Mrs. Day, and Lanie are so proud of how our RES Gators performed in the MAD Dash this past Saturday. They all worked hard to reach their goals and have made huge improvements since last fall. Congratulations to Milan Ruiz for finishing first in his age group for 10 and under males!
Good morning Gators! This is Mrs. Waters with events for the week. Monday will be day 4 in our specials rotation. On Monday, Mrs. Martin’s class will head to The Farm to pick strawberries. We know these students will enjoy this trip. On Thursday, we will have a dedication of our new Buddy Bench. Our SAVE Promise club has worked all year to raise funds for this and get it built and painted. We are so excited to add it to our playground. On Friday, we will dismiss school at 1:00 for students. Our PTO will host an End of School Bash on Friday from 6:00-8:00. There will be no admission. PTO will have food available for purchase and we will have a couple of food trucks as well. Students can enjoy bouncing houses, face painting, cake walks, and more. Please come out and join us to support our PTO—finally, just a few reminders to parents. We cannot take transportation changes over the phone. You must request a change in writing. Students cannot be signed out of the office after 2:45. If you arrive after 2:45, please pick your child up in the carline. Also, for student and staff safety, please put your phone down when you are coming through the line during arrival and dismissal. Thank you!
Today, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to our administrative team, Mr. Jason Johnson and Mrs. Elia Martinez. Your hard work and dedication do not go unnoticed! You are the unsung heroes of our school community, and we are incredibly grateful for everything you do! 💖
