Week #16- December 1. 2025
Wishing all our families a happy and restful Fall break!
We hope you enjoy this time to relax, recharge, and make special memories together. Thank you for your continued support; our school community is truly amazing. We look forward to welcoming everyone back after the break!
The Book Fair will be open to students Dec. 1-5 from 8-3 each day.
After hours book fair shopping will be Thursday, Dec. 4 from 5:30-7pm. Santa and Mrs. Claus will be at the book fair that night too! Families are welcome to visit with Santa and take their own pictures with him for FREE.
This will be the only book fair this school year due to renovations in the Spring.
If your family is in need of reading materials or math flash cards, please don’t hesitate to reach out; we’re happy to help make sure every child has the tools they need to succeed! Please email Mr. Kirk at kkirk@rockingham.k12.va.us or Mr. Baker at dbaker@rockingham.k12.va.us if you need materials.
Also, if you would like to volunteer in the school, let us know!
