Hello Rockwell Community,

We had a great two days of school! It was wonderful to see our kiddos back in the building. Please review the Counseling Corner tab of this website for important information from our school social worker.

Below are important dates and reminders for the upcoming week:

Preschool will start on August 12th! If you are a preschool family, you should receive a separate welcome letter from our MPS Preschool Team. Please reach out to our office if you haven’t received this information.
Monday, August 12th we will be hosting a new family meet and greet breakfast from 8:15-9:15 in our media center! There will be donuts, coffee, and juice. Please stop by to meet new families and enjoy getting to know Rockwell!

Rockwell Drop Off and Pick Up:

Typical Morning Drop Off PreK-5th grade:

At Rockwell we have a very active carpool and it is imperative all parents, guardians, etc follow the expectations for arrival and dismissal.
Please full forward in the carpool lane to assist with getting as many cars as possible into the carpool lane. Staff will be outside to assist your child getting into the building and their classroom safely.
If you are able to walk or carpool, this will help our morning flow.
Remember there is no parking at the start of the pick up lane.
- There will be orange cones out to remind parents of the no parking.

Students in the breakfast line will wait in a line by the front windows of the school.
Students who do not need breakfast will wait along the front grass area.
There will be signs to support students on where to stand for the first several weeks of school
Students will begin heading inside when the 8:15am bell rings!
Students will walk into the building by themselves each morning. We have multiple staff members along the hallways to guide them where they need to go.

Typical After school Pick Up:

Preschool dismisses at 3:25 and K-5 students dismiss at 3:30
All parents PreK-5th grade should follow dismissal/pick up procedures to ensure the safety and efficiency of carpool.
Please full forward in the carpool lane to assist with getting as many cars as possible into the carpool lane. Staff will be outside to assist your child getting into the building and their classroom safely.
- We ask that K-5 grade parents wait to pull into the Rockwell carpool lanes until all Preschool parents and buses are able to pull through the drive through.
- All K-5 students will be dismissed at our regular time of 3:30.
Buses, daycare vans and SPARK will run as usual. Please be sure classroom teachers have the most up to date after school plans for your child.

It’s very important that you talk with your child/children about their after school plans each day. Please make sure they understand what they are supposed to do.

Our fifth grade students will continue to provide crosswalk coverage at each of the crosswalks. This year supervision at those crosswalks will run from 8:10-8:25am and 3:25-3:40, 2:25-2:40 (W). If your child is needing to cross before/after that time, please plan to have an adult walk them across.
