TRANSCRIPT
Happy New Year!
I hope that you all enjoyed some quality time
with your families over the last few weeks. As much
as I enjoyed spending time with my family over the
break, I am looking forward to seeing the halls of
Rockwell full of students and staff again. The students
always have so much to share regarding all of the fun
adventures they had with you over the break.
One of the exciting events that occurred over Winter
Break was an opportunity to play in our Wisconsin
Winterland. Students will be enjoying the snow during
their recesses and will have the opportunity to play in it
if they wear the appropriate attire.
• Kindergartners thru Third Graders are required to
wear snow pants and boots to be able to play in the
snow.
• Fourth and Fifth Graders are allowed to be in the
snow if they are wearing boots but can only play in
it if they are wearing snow pants.
Students know that snow is to stay on the ground and
that throwing it is not allowed. They also know that
building snowmen and snow forts are a fun way to
enjoy the winter weather and they should be respectful
of other students’ creations.
Thank you for your continued partnership in ensuring
the safety of all of our students during these winter
months.
Best Wishes, Mrs. Walden
