Rockford Elementary

This week in third grade, we are reading “ The Trial of Cardigan Jones.” Our third graders enjoyed a visit from Judge Marion Boone and Officer Danley this afternoon. Officer Danley discussed how important it is to be honest and always do the right thing. Judge Boone explained the court system and the steps it takes to be a judge. Thank you for visiting us Officer Danley and Judge Boone !

Kindergarten has loved using Letterland to learn their letters! On Friday, they learned about Firefighter Fred for the letter "F". Central Surry Fire Department brought their fire truck and tools to help!

Good evening Gators! This is Mrs. Waters calling with weekly news. Monday will be day 2 in our specials rotation. We had a great first full week of school. Thank you for your patience and support as we get into a routine. We will be welcoming our PreK students this week and want to remind you of a few arrival and dismissal procedures. All students should be dropped off and picked up in the carline. Students will not be allowed to walk to meet vehicles or dropped off in the bus lot. It is a safety issue for students to be walking across the parking lots at these times. The only exception is for families who pickup and drop off from our handicap spaces. If you do not require these spaces, please leave them and the spaces beside them open for those that do. Also, please make sure you have your child’s first and last name on the card provided by your teacher and it is in a visible location on your dash. If your child requires assistance with a child seat, please pull all the way up to the stop sign before assisting them. Again, thank you for your patience as we improve our carline procedures. We are continuing to register students for our after school daycare program. If you are interested in signing your child up, please call our office. Your child recently brought home a form for Friendly Dental. If you are interested in dental services at school, please return the form by Wednesday. Kindergarten physicals need to be completed and required immunizations need to be up-to-date by September 8th. September 8th is the last day that students can come to school if they have not met these requirements. Surry County Health and Nutrition Center is hosting a Back to School Immunization Clinic on Saturday 8/26 in the Surry County Health Department Pediatric Building from 9-12 for those who need any immunizations. Please contact our school nurse for more information. Finally, we are continuing our calendar sale fundraiser. Remember, once you have filled five dates on your calendar, you can turn your ticket in for a prize. All students who sell every date on their calendar will receive a treat from the Chill Mobile. Thank you.

This year’s theme, Thrive, was the emphasis of the program. Employees were invited to Pilot Mountain Middle School where they got to mingle with local community and business partners, along with a program featuring remarks from dynamic leaders in the district.
