Pushing the positive and celebrating leaders! Congratulations to these rockets who earned a Positive Office Referral for their outstanding leader actions.
Do you know someone who will be 5 years old on or before July 31, 2024? It’s time for their grown-ups to mark the calendar for Kindergarten Enrollment!
Enroll online March 13, 2024. Staff will be available at 14 of our elementary schools from 2 - 7 p.m. that day for families who would like to stop by.

On this official Substitute Educator Day, we want to recognize ALL of the amazing substitutes, or guest teachers as we like to call them, that support Rock Creek daily. The heart and care poured into our students when you are here makes a world of difference. Thank you!

We are so proud of our Rock Creek Students for collecting 91 Turkeys for the No Hunger Holiday! Team Dierker barely won! Students will get to see some turkey dancing tomorrow!
Gobble, Gobble!
Tomorrow is the final day of our No Hunger Turkey Drive. Please help us by dropping off frozen turkeys at morning arrival (Wednesday, November 15th).
How does this work?
*Drop off a frozen turkey during morning arrival.
*Hand the turkey(s) to a staff member
*Let the staff know which team the student is on- Team Dierker or Team Sandstrom.
We can't wait to hear how many turkeys we can collect, celebrate with students at lunch with the winning team principal dressed like a turkey and dancing the "Chicken Dance", and most importantly, support our local community.
Thank you for your support!
What an honor to pay tribute and celebrate our Veterans. Thank you for your service!
Kindergarten had a special guest on Monday, November 6th. Who could it have been? Well, it was Firefighter Ballmann! RCE Rockets loved getting to learn and ask questions firsthand to Mr. Ballmann. Thank you for sharing your time, expertise, and teaching us so much.
Finishing our week shining light on our leaders is always fun. Way to go rockets! Congratulations on your Positive Office Referrals.
