Dear Rock Ridge Community:
I hope this letter finds you well as we approach Thanksgiving and possibly even some
snowy weather. Remember to check the district website, call the district weather line
(303.387.SNOW) or check with local news for school closures. Also, keep in mind
that school begins at 8:30am with doors opening at 8:20am so please do not drop your
children off (especially the young ones) before 8:20am. The school does not have
supervision for lineup prior to this time and thus, you could be placing your child at
unnecessary risk. This is especially true if your children are not dressed properly for
inclement weather. Our students go outside for recess when the weather is above 20
degrees so please plan accordingly.
Thank you all for a fun filled night at
Monster Mash! Special thanks to RR
Student Council for bringing us Scream
Street (special thanks to Ms. Shaw and
Ms. Shea) and to Rock Ridge PTO for
organizing the concessions and the
dance. Unfortunately, this was the first
time that I had to miss the event due to a
family matter so I was disappointed that I
missed all the cool costumes. I did see
pictures and it looked like another
successful event.
In case you have not noticed, we have
a really cool fundraising opportunity
that gives parents and staff the chance
to give a shout out to someone special.
The rock in front of the school was
made possible by Barbara Berndt who
oversees our awesome Pre-school
program here at Rock Ridge. Thus,
half the proceeds go to Pre-school and
the other half goes to Rock Ridge.
ALL monies are used towards
improving your children’s education.
Here is how it works: A collection
box and request forms are available on
the table just outside the Preschool Classroom inside Rock Ridge. Check for an
available date then fill out a request form and attach your check for $25. Requests
without money will not be processed. You must pay in advance. Attach your check
only (no cash) to your request and put it in the collection box which is located on the
table near the entrance to preschool classroom. Each request will be date stamped. It
is first come first served. You will receive an email when your date is
reserved. There will be no refunds once a date has been accepted. When you receive
an email, you will be able to go ahead and paint the rock on the Friday you have
reserved. The Rock will remain painted until the following Friday. (If two people
request and have paid for the same date you will be asked to share the rock) If you
would rather not share, you may choose another available date.
If you have any questions, contact Barbara
[email protected]
Lastly, Castle Rock Police
Department has increased
traffic monitoring around our
school and began issuing
citations for traffic violations
and parking in handicap areas.
Please remember to follow all
traffic laws and respect the
parking areas designated for
our visitors who have special
parking needs. This also
includes parking in the Red
Lanes on the north side of
RRE parking lot. By parking
here, you are violating fire
regulations as well as blocking
those vehicles that are parked
properly within the parking lot.
Should you have any questions, concerns or celebrations, please feel free to contact
me. I look forward to hearing from you.
Be safe as you prepare for the holidays.
Sincerely,
Peter Mosby, Principal
