Drop-up/Pick-up

What happens if I need to drop my student off early? We open our doors at 8:45. On occasion, an exception might need to be made, and if same day, please text the Director. You may also email (dir@therockenrichmentacademy.org) and ask for an exception. A week in advance would be appreciated.

May grandma or a friend pick up my child? Absolutely! Please notify the Director ASAP if someone on the approved pick up list is picking up your child. To add an individual to your approved pick up list, please let us know. We will check ID so please make sure to provide their full name, relation and, if they’re joining the carpool line, what type of vehicle they drive.

Supplies and Items from Home

What supplies should I bring to the Meet and Greet? Keep your personal supplies at home, but bring shared supplies like stacks of paper, watercolors, cleaning supplies, etc. If it’s too bulky for your child to carry in their backpack, you may bring it to the Meet and Greet!

Can my student bring their laptop/toy/jewelry/book/phone from home? While older students (Upper School) often use their computers for classes, and occasionally feel phones may be used for permitted class work only. Some students might need or have a cell phone, but we ask that it remain silenced and stay in their backpack unless they ask permission from their teacher. They are not allowed to be used during class or without teacher permission and parent communication must cost come through the Director. Please refer to our Cell Phone Policy within our online student handbook.

We ask that students leave their personal items (including toys) at home. This eliminates distractions in the classroom during learning time and the risk of items accidentally getting lost or broken. Students are allowed to bring board games and books on rainy days and other designated days (your campus will notify you in advance).

Dress Code

What is the dress code? The dress code can be found in detail in the Student Handbook (under the forms header). Lower and Upper students should wear reasonable pants or shorts each day (no rips/tears even if it’s for fashion, of modest length. Clothing should be free of distracting or offensive logos or words and closed-toe shoes appropriate for PE and recess. Students should wear their Rock shirt (short sleeve provided) or approved school apparel each school day. Hoodies, long sleeve shirts and additional short sleeve shirts are available for purchase. Check out our TREA Gear and Apparel page.

COVID, Health, and Allergies

What happened to Covid? For more information on our COVID policy, click here:

If any child in your family is sick or may have been exposed, please stay home. If you know it’s allergies, please let us know before sending your child! We trust parents to make the best decisions for all families. Students who still wish to wear a mask are absolutely allowed to!

What should I do if my student is sick? Please let our Director know so that all teachers may be informed he/she will be absent. If you know your student potentially exposed classmates to anything that’s highly contagious or potentially contagious (Hand-Foot-and Mouth, Chickenpox, Pink-eye, Flu, Covid, Lice, etc.), please share that information. We won’t share which student with families, but we will let people know if they’ve been potentially exposed to something more concerning than a typical cold.

Are you a peanut-free school? Currently we are not peanut nut free. We do have some campuses with more tree-nut allergies than others, though, we so understand the concern. With severe allergies or for those who need different accommodations, reach out to us! We must have a completed Authorization to Administer Medication form if you need to send any medication to your school with your child, even for OTC allergy medications.

What should I do when our family is on vacation? Please let us know so we don’t worry about you! This is particularly important for Upper School students as they are taking graded classes and will still need to turn in work for any graded classes despite being absent. We want all students to have the opportunity to make up learning missed if they are absent. Teachers provide an outline of what was learned in their Google Classrooms!

Website and Google Classroom

Help! I can’t get into my child’s Google Account! Please text the Director or contact us by email (dir@therockenrichmentacademy.org) for assistance as soon as possible.

Do I have to use Google Classroom? We don’t want you to miss campus-specific updates by not utilizing Google Classroom. This is our primary means of communication. Director news, campus alerts and important announcements will be posted in “Highlights and Highlights”. Teachers post class-specific information each week. Upper School students will not be able to receive grades or credit if they do not use Google Classroom.

Who do I contact if I need help with Classroom, Google, the website, or have an events question? Mrs. Jay-Turner is the best person to answer those questions! Please text her directly for the fastest response.

Where can I find…? There’s a search bar at the bottom of the website if you’re really struggling to find what you need!

We have been capturing fun photos and student portraits throughout the year. We have a yearbook staff consisting of middle and high school students and teachers, and student photographers and volunteers across all campuses to compile great memories. We also have Yearbook Advertisements available. For more information, to place your personal “shout out” and to order your student’s yearbook, visit the Google Classroom (Highlights and Happenings) for the order link. Or contact our Director via text or email.

Who do I contact if….?

How do I get in contact with my child’s teacher? All teachers have the same format for their emails: MrsLASTNAME@therockenrichmentacademy.org (or MrLASTNAME). They can also be found on our Meet the Teachers page!

How do I pay tuition? You may pay tuition by several methods: (1) Zelle-dir@therockenrichmentacademy.org (2) in person via check made payable to TREA ,or cash in a sealed envelope labeled with your student/s name, and to a teacher at pick-up or drop-off, (3) Bill Pay, bank check to Mrs. Jay-Turner: please email dir@therockenrichmentacademy.org for more details. (4) Venmo @TheRockEnrichmentAcademy (5) PayPal – only for tuition and as “friends & family’ to: therockenrichmentacademy@yahoo.com. (Paypal for merchandise with our school logo such as hoodies, long sleeve shirts, water bottles and sticker decals will be sent to dir@therockenrichmentacademy.org).

Who do I talk to if I can’t remember if I paid tuition? Or my bank changed? Or I need a scholarship? Mrs. Jay-Turner can answer all those questions! Email her at dir@therockenrichmentacademy.org!

Volunteer Opportunities and Donations

Want to volunteer? Occasionally we have the need for parent volunteers. These needs will become more apparent as the year begins, but typically we need: volunteers to cover lunch/recess over Christmas so staff can celebrate with a short staff-lunch, volunteers to help with Bags of Grace each December, parent volunteers for events like Soup-er Bowl Pantry Food donation weeks, and other larger celebrations. We will also be asking for volunteers to help us with some fundraising this next year so that we can keep offering scholarships to our families!
We will update as we have official dates and times. Feel free to reach out to Mrs. Jay-Turner if you’d like to be put on the volunteer list!

I want to donate something! There are a few times when we are looking for donations–such as small supplies for Christmas parties, pumpkins for painting in class, etc. Upper Classes would benefit from a donation of Digital SLRs. Music classes would love to have a supply of ukuleles and guitars for families who can’t afford them! Reach out to our Director if you’d like to donate something and we can supply you with a 501c3 receipt!
