Things got a little… SLIMY at RWE!

Our Tigers worked hard to support our school fundraiser, and the payoff was definitely worth it!

Today, Principal Koogle and Mr. Waldron took one for the team and got slimed in front of our students!

A HUGE thank-you to our students and families for supporting the fundraiser and to our RWE PTO for making this fun experience possible!

We love celebrating our Tigers, and we especially love when their hard work gets a little messy.

Way to go, Tigers! You earned it!

Today, our RWE team stepped outside the building and into the great outdoors for a day of professional development, team building, and connection at the Claud E. Kitchens Outdoor School at Fairview!

We learned, laughed, challenged ourselves, and strengthened the relationships that make our school community so special. From stepping outside of our comfort zones to working together in new ways, today was a great reminder that strong teams grow together!

Professional learning. Team building. A little adventure. A LOT of Tiger pride! We’re almost ready for the first day of school!

What a night at Rockland Woods! Our Back-to-School Night and Rock the Block celebration was the perfect way to kick off a new school year.

From visiting classrooms and meeting teachers to laughing, connecting, and celebrating together, it was wonderful to see so many of our Tiger families and community members back in the building and joining us for the evening.

A huge THANK YOU to our incredible staff for making the evening so welcoming, to our RWE PTO for helping make it all possible, and—most importantly—to our families for showing up and making our school community what it is.

We are officially ready for another great year at The RWE! Rockland Woods…the Block was ROCKED!

A perfect summer evening, smiling faces, popsicles, and plenty of Tiger pride!

Thank you to all of our families and staff who joined us for Popsicles with the Principals this evening! It was such a joy to reconnect with familiar faces, welcome new families to our school community, and spend time together before another incredible school year begins.

One of the highlights of the evening was introducing new and returning friends to our new Assistant Principal, Ms. Baker! We are so excited for our Tiger community to get to know her and know she’ll be a wonderful addition to Rockland Woods.

The countdown to opening day is on, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back to The RWE!
