Hello Rock Ridge:
It is so great to see all the students this year, a nice
change from where we were in May. Lots of smiling
faces (you can tell by the crinkling of their eyes) and
students who are excited to be back to school. Also, a
huge shout out to our PTO for the nice “Welcome Back”
rock and the chalk messages on the sidewalk/entry area.
The love and support of the community is appreciated
by all of us at Rock Ridge and we are proud to have such
amazing parents.
The ‘X’s marking social distancing is a reminder of where we still are at when it
comes to coping with Covid and instruction but the
message speaks to our practices at the school. As you
have seen in the video as well as communications sent
out by the school and the district, we all are taking your
child’s health and the health of everyone associated with
Rock Ridge seriously. We appreciate your understanding
as well as your patience as we continue to work through
the kinks that may develop over the next few weeks.
Please remember, if you have any questions or concerns
to contact us so that we can address them immediately.
One unfortunate side-effect is that parents and the
community are not able to appreciate what
teachers are doing to create a fun, positive
environment for your children. Ms. Gonzalez, our
esteemed art teacher has decorated the entrance
to her room in a 3-D artistic design that is fun and
way cool. Students are reminded just how creative
Ms. Gonzalez is and how much fun her class is.
Thank you, Ms. Gonzalez for being an amazing
teacher here at Rock Ridge.
A few final last reminders:
1. Call the school if you are picking up your student early. A staff member will walk
your child out to your vehicle. Please stay in your vehicle.
2. If you need to drop off items for your child, a crate is located outside of the school
for you to place items. Please label clearly with the student’s full name and
teacher. Ring the bell and a staff member will retrieve and deliver the item.
3. If your child has any Covid symptoms, please keep them at home.
Thank you again for all of your support. We appreciate our Rock Ridge family
community and we will continue to keep your students safe and in a positive learning
environment.
Sincerely,
Peter Mosby
