"The entire distance learning process has been great for us and has not had any issues. Mr. D has been attentive and responsive when (student) reaches out with any questions or concerns. I've heard stories from other parents across the country about their distance learning plans and how involved the parents are in the day to day learning and activities and I am so blessed that Rockwood is doing the online options and I don't have to be my child's teacher. Thank you!" -Parent POSSIP Comment, May 2020
Yes! Miss gains just stopped by and it was wonderful. We have been depressed so her visit was much needed. Not only did she come to check on us, but she also brought us food to help too! We just love her.
