Trailblazer Times

Happy Friday Trailblazer Families!

We hope you all have a fantastic Spring Break next week! We will have no school March 18-22. We will resume school on Monday, March 25, ready to finish the year strong!

Please remember that school begins at 7:45 in the morning, so if you are arriving past 7:45, students are tardy and will need to be checked in the front foyer at the check in/check out computer. Office staff are available to help, if needed. Also, students cannot be dropped off in the back parking lot. This hinders bus and Pre-K drop off spaces. All K-5 car rider students must be dropped off in the front of the building. Thank you for your help in keeping our kids safe and in our designated spaces.

We have a great number of important events coming up, so please read below for all the exciting things going on at Rollins! The last couple of months will be amazing!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Farris

To our Jim D. Rollins Elementary SOI families,

We're very excited about our upcoming Read-A-Thon fundraiser and want to share an amazing opportunity for local businesses. If you own, manage, or know of a business that would like to support our school, consider becoming a Read-A-Thon sponsor. By becoming a sponsor, a business will gain exposure to thousands of individuals who are all passionate about supporting literacy and our community.

Hurry, as there are only a limited number of digital and printed sponsorship spots available, including an exclusive Literacy Champion sponsorship. Reserve sponsorship spots today by clicking here. As always, we extend our heartfelt thanks for your support of our school community.

Warm regards,

Jim D. Rollins Elementary SOI
