Jim D. Rollins School of Innovation

~Why join the PTA? As a new PTA, we are uniquely tasked with creating the foundation for a collaborative group to benefit our school community for decades to come. Since this is our first year, we are working to establish funds through donations, fundraising events, and the sale of profitable goods. We need your help to brainstorm and provide feedback for proposed activities so that we are successful and having fun throughout the process! ~ Do I have to volunteer, fundraise, and be at the school during the day? The only requirement to being a PTA member is paying your dues and supporting our school however you can. ~ How much time will it take? It takes as much or as little time as you can offer. ~ What does the PTA do? We are a non-profit organization run exclusively by volunteers; all cash and donations go directly towards student engagement such as the Fall Festival, STEAM events, in-class celebrations, and after-school activities. We may also identify specific needs at the school that fall outside of the budget to partner in providing. Come be a part of those decisions!

We are loving learning at Rollins Elementary!

Our PTA and "State of the School Address" will be in our cafeteria at 6:00 PM on Thursday. We will sit socially distanced. We request that everyone wear a mask if attending this meeting on site. If you would like to attend virtually, please follow this link to sign up. We will send a Zoom link to you. https://forms.gle/UusuyEWg9zu2eTcn9

This week has been a challenging week on many fronts but there has also been a lot of good! Let’s give a shout out to the over 150 custodial and maintenance staff who worked around the clock to keep our buildings in top shape!They worked on frozen pipes, clearing parking lots and sidewalks, plowed snow and maintained the HVAC units. Let’s give a shout out to the Principals and teachers from each building who worked to connect with each family ensuring safety and educational enrichment during this time. We had some fun this week! We loved seeing all the pictures of how families combined education with snow time fun. Tomorrow, Friday February 19 will be a remote teaching and learning day. Let’s finish this week strong, with positive energy and take the time to say thank you and encouraging words to each other. This is what make our community great! Esta semana ha sido una semana desafiante en muchos frentes, ¡pero también ha sido muy bueno! ¡Demos un saludo a los más de 150 conserjes y personal de mantenimiento que trabajaron las veinticuatro horas del día para mantener nuestros edificios en óptimas condiciones! Trabajaron en tuberías congeladas, despejaron estacionamientos y aceras, quitaron nieve y mantuvieron las unidades de HVAC. Demos un saludo a los directores y maestros de cada edificio que trabajaron para conectarse con cada familia para garantizar la seguridad y el enriquecimiento educativo durante este tiempo. ¡Nos divertimos un poco esta semana! Nos encantó ver todas las imágenes de cómo las familias combinaban la educación con la diversión en la nieve. Mañana viernes 19 de febrero será un día de enseñanza y aprendizaje a distancia. Terminemos esta semana fuertes, con energía positiva y tomémonos el tiempo para agradecer y animarnos mutuamente. ¡Esto es lo que hace que nuestra comunidad sea excelente!
