Incoming 6th Grade
Cell phone policy
Dear Rocco Laurie Families,
Welcome back to another exciting school year! I hope you and your family enjoyed a restful summer and are ready for the year ahead. As we begin this new chapter together, I want to share how proud I am of our school community and the Bulldog spirit that defines us.
This year, we will continue to build on our tradition of being #BulldogSTRONG. That means showing perseverance in the face of challenges, treating one another with respect and kindness, and striving for excellence both in and out of the classroom. Our students, staff, and families each play an important role in making our school a place where everyone feels safe, supported, and motivated to achieve their best.
We look forward to a year filled with learning, growth, and success. Thank you for your continued partnership and for entrusting us with your child’s education. Together, we will make this year one to remember. Attached you will find our "Opening Day Protocols", which include our new "Cell Phone and Electronic Device Policy".
If you are reading this as a text message, please check your Operoo email and/or the school website for more information.
See you on Thursday, September 4th, at 8:00am for the first day of school.
Sincerely,
Jessica Jackson
Principal
