Happy New Year!
I hope you all enjoyed the winter break and found some fun winter activities to participate in despite the lack of snow.
Throughout the month, students will learn strategies to get them through hard things. Some strategies include deep breathing, movement breaks, flexible thinking and goal setting. If you are interested in incorporating this in your home, here is a "Purposeful Pursuit" for you to try:
"Consistency is hard. Have each person in the family commit to 1 thing they will do each day this week. Maybe it is flossing, drinking a certain amount of water, getting to bed at a certain time, limiting screen time, or exercising. Create a place where each person can tally their progress and see who can keep their streak going the longest! "
STUDENT ABSENCE REMINDER
Please notify the office when your student is going to be late or absent. For late arrivals we would need the students hot lunch choice by 9:00 AM, unless they are bringing a cold lunch.
Please call or email the office at the following:
Phone: (262) 628-7622
Email: rfoffice@gsdwi.org
Please be advised of the following changes/updates from Riteway Bus Company.
- ADDING/REMOVING A STUDENT TO A ROUTE:
- If a family wants their student to begin or stop taking the bus they must notify Riteway (262)677-3282.
- STUDENT DROP OFF CHANGE:
- If a family needs to change the drop off location (i.e. student now going to daycare) a special transportation form needs to be completed, returned to the school office, and signed by Dr. Croatt. The signed form will be emailed to Riteway and Riteway will confirm and/or deny the request.
- STUDENT GOING HOME ON SAME BUS BUT GETTING OFF AT A DIFFERENT STOP:
- Students going home on the same bus but getting off at a different stop need a note signed by their parent/guardian so the school and the driver are aware of the change.
- STUDENT GOING HOME ON A DIFFERENT BUS:
- This is ONLY allowed in the event of a family emergency and will ONLY be on an as needed basis. A note/email/phone call should be sent by the parent regarding the emergency so that the school and Riteway are aware of the situation and can convey what route and classmate the student will go home with for that evening.
Please take note of the new Kids Klub UNREGISTERED POLICY.
"We will no longer allow unregistered participants into Kids Klub. All children must be registered prior to the start of the program date/time. Last minute phone registrations will be allowed as long as you call the Recreation Department Office at 262-250-4710 by 2:30 p.m. for after school sessions without an additional fee."
Your child will NOT be allowed to stay for Kids Klub by you sending a note or yellow attendance slip to Rockfield School. You MUST contact the Parks and Recreation office. All Cancellations & Registrations can only be done by contacting the Recreation Department at 262-250-4710.
Rockfield School does not handle this.

Hello Rockfield families!
Please remember that with the cold temps and snow we do still go outside daily unless the temps fall below 0 degrees so make sure your children are bundled up and ready to have fun outside!
With the falling temps also comes the winter colds, flu and other illnesses. Please keep your child home if they are not feeling well and/or have a temp over 100, diarrhea, an uncontrollable cough, thick mucus/very runny nose or has vomited in the past 24 hours. They may return 24 hours after symptoms have subsided without the use of medication.
Medication that needs to be taken at school must be brought in by the students guardian and the proper form must be filled out by the parent and/or doctor if it is a prescription. This includes cough drops, eye drops and all over the counter medication. https://5il.co/rphd https://5il.co/rphe
