Welcome to Rockwell ES! I am a parent community coordinator serving Rockwell ES and Baker MS. In my role, I help parents navigate the school system and help find vital resources in the community. I aim to enhance two-way communication between parents and staff as I believe it is the best way to help parents engage in their student's education. Please feel free to call or email me with any questions. I am here to support you so that you can best support your students. Thank you. Click HERE to view my presentation to the staff.

Need to Pay for Your Child's Frield Trip?
SchoolCash Online helps parents and guardians pay school-related fees—such as field trip costs—safely, quickly and easily. This new system puts school-related fees online so payments can be made using a credit card or e-check, increasing efficiency and security by making payments directly into schools’ bank accounts and eliminating the need for teachers to handle money. Cash and check payments directly to schools will remain an option.
