Dear Families,

As the holiday season approaches, the Rock Crusher Elementary family sends our warmest wishes to you! December is a special time filled with joy, reflection, and anticipation for the bright year ahead.

We are excited to invite you to our upcoming festive events:

These celebrations are wonderful opportunities to come together as a community and honor the hard work and achievements of our students and staff.

Throughout December, students will continue engaging in meaningful learning experiences while completing mid-year assessments. These assessments help us monitor progress and tailor instruction to meet individual needs. Your support at home—through nightly reading, homework completion, and consistent attendance—remains essential to their success.

Please note: Rock Crusher Elementary will be closed December 22nd–January 6th for winter break. Students return on Tuesday, January 7th, ready to begin an exciting new year.

May your holiday season be filled with joy, love, and cherished moments. Thank you for partnering with us to make Rock Crusher a place where every child learns and grows.

Warmest wishes,

Amanda Haynes

Principal              

Happy Winter! The holiday season can bring excitement, but also a unique set of stressors for children and families. Please know that my door is always open if you need support. 

In November, we focused on Honesty, Good Citizenship, and the importance of being kind to others.

We'll continue building on empathy and kindness through classroom guidance lessons; discussing how we can spread joy and show thoughtfulness to those around us.

Tis the season to reach out to those who need a friend, a listening ear, a caring smile. Be kind to others AND be kind to yourself.

Wishing you all Peace, Love, and Joy!

Mrs. Harrison
