a note from mr. Karel
Dear Families,
What a wonderful first week we’ve had! Thank you so much for helping your child come to school ready and excited—it truly makes a difference in starting the year off strong.
We also want to thank you for your patience and support as we work to make drop-off and pick-up smoother for everyone. If you pick up your child, we kindly suggest parking in the neighborhood next to the school and walking over to meet them at the south side of the building. If you use the car line, please pull all the way forward, stay in your car, and be as quick as you can to keep the line moving. If your child needs help getting into a car seat or buckling up, parking in the lot or neighborhood is a great option.
Finally, please don’t forget to complete your student’s information verification. This is important so your child can participate in fun activities like field trips, picture day, and our yearbook.
Thank you again for your partnership!
Warmly,
Mr. Karel

Student Verification
The steps for completing the verification process for your child are as follows:
- Log into Family Access.
- Click on the "Go to Information Verification for your son/daughter."
- Please complete the steps in order, as listed on the right-hand side of your screen. (Note that fields in grey can only be edited at the school building with proper documentation.) Please select the appropriate drop-down items for each screen. Each step requires you to select "I have completed this step" at the bottom of the screen to finalize your information.
- When completing the School Participation step, click on the link called "School Participation", click "yes" on the pop-up window to complete this step. Enter the proper information and click "Save" in the upper right-hand corner.
- Once all steps have been completed, the final step allows you to submit the information. (THIS IS KEY TO FINALIZING VERIFICATION.) Once finalized, you will receive an email verification of enrollment. If you do not receive an email, please go back into FAMILY ACCESS to review any missing steps/information.
Note: We highly encourage all families to set up a FA account as it is the district’s main source of communication to parents. Please visit our website at www.rockfordschools.org & click on the Family Access link (upper right-hand side) or please feel free to contact the main office of student’s school for additional assistance.
