Week #18- December 15, 2025
As we look ahead into next week, please reference an earlier email from Mr. Baker about Parent Pickup switching to the large loop on Monday, December 15. With renovations on the horizon, we are trying to get ahead of routine changes. This gives us a chance to work out any kinks before construction begins.
Orange reading logs were sent home to continue our 67th Day Reading Challenge. We had almost 100 red logs return for the first week, keep it up!
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!
Please see a brief message from Mrs. Mitchell regarding our Holidays with Hearts Program. Thank you to all of the families that helped support and make this happen.
