How We Communicate

The Communications Department manages the official Rockwood website you are visiting right now.

• Discover what Rockwood stands for and what makes our school district great.
• We welcome new and current families to enroll in our schools.
• Our whole focus is on our students and how they learn and prepare for life.
• Rockwood is more than just students and teachers.  We want everyone to get involved in the whole Rockwood community!
• Rockwood is here to help with contact information, wellness assistance, safety concerns, and technology support.
• Rockwood Departments support our teachers, staff, and students in our mission.
• Our Board of Education serve as custodians of this school district.

Each school has their own website to share school-specific information and announcements, including our Early Childhood Centers, Gifted Program, and Pathways Wellness Center.

On the district website and every school website, you will find a calendar that provides a list of monthly activities and events.  Our Lunch Menus are also available as calendars.  Parents, students, staff, and community members can easily subscribe to these calendars to never miss an important date!

Rockwood uses ParentSquare for school communication, primarily by posting announcements inside the secure ParentSquare system. Parents, students, and staff can be notified about these posts by email, text and/or the ParentSquare app.

Our parent-teacher organizations keeps parents in the loop through the PTO pages on our school websites.

PTO Presidents' Forum is designed to facilitate collaboration, networking, and an exchange of ideas among Rockwood PTO presidents. Presidents' Forum also offers opportunities for meaningful communication between presidents and district administrators.

Rockwood School District is on Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and YouTube.

Our goal is also for schools and activity directors to use social media to share events, community activities, schedules, scores and time changes. These channels are yet another way to make information available to our community.

There are great things happening in Rockwood every day. The Communications Department not only creates press releases to local media outlets concerning school events, human interest stories and great things teachers and students are doing, but we act as a liaison between schools and media. This allows our teachers and students to avoid as much distraction as possible. Members of the local press are encouraged to reach out to the Communications Department.

Rockwood supports community groups and organizations by distributing information to parents about educational activities and events that may benefit students.

Rockwood does not distribute flyers from community organizations directly to students. Instead, we send community flyers directly to parents electronically. The district partners with Peachjar to provide this service. Peachjar provides an innovative flyer management system that sends district-approved electronic flyers directly to parents' email and posts them online.
