5th Grade

Welcome To Fifth Grade

Fifth grade at Rockford is an amazing experience. We want your last year in elementary school to be a memorable one. Along the way, we will celebrate successes and learn from our mistakes. We will hopefully get to go on fun field trips exploring new things, and make lasting memories along the way.

This year will look different and there will most likely be several changes as we progress through the year. We thank you in advance for your flexibility and understanding as we work to educate and keep each child safe. Please know that safety is always our priority. Please feel free to email and/or call us with any questions or concerns you may have. Additionally, we will send communications through Seesaw. Please contact your child's homeroom teacher to sign up.

We look forward to partnering with you in your child's education.
