Dear Rock Creek Families:
PTO Fundraiser
We are so thankful for all that our PTO does for our RCE students, staff and the community. It is now time for us to give back so they can continue to support our school community. The PTO fundraiser kicked off on Wednesday. Students viewed this video during our virtual Rocket Day assembly. Be sure to click on the video clips on many of the slides to learn more.
Direct link to the donation page: https://app.99pledges.com/fund/rockcreekelementarypto You and your family and friends can watch as we near the goal of raising $15,000. Scroll down this home page to see how many funds are attributed to each grade level. Did you know that the goal will be met if each student raised just $39?

This link takes you to a document with a link for each teacher. Sign up for your child's classroom teacher. All of our fine arts (PE, Music, Art, Library, & Technology) teachers will be available to meet with you, too. Just sign up for a time! Note: For students receiving special services, most special education teachers will be joining classroom teachers for their student's conferences. If there is a conflict, they will reach out to you to schedule a separate time. Once you click on the teacher's name, you will be directed to a SignUpGenius form. Double check that you are in the correct teacher's sign up. Choose your time. At the bottom of the page, click SUBMIT AND SIGN UP. Fill in the fields with your student's name, your name, etc. Click SIGN UP NOW. A confirmation email from SignUpGenius.com will be sent to the email address you entered. Confirmations will also be sent within 6 days of conferences. You will be able to edit your conference time, as needed.
All conferences will be held via Webex. Teachers will send a link for you to use a few days prior to the conference.
Thank you for making your child's learning a priority and taking the time to learn of their progress and converse with their teacher!
