One important way to support our school through Rockwell PTA is to volunteer your time. No experience is needed. Make sure that you are ready to volunteer before school starts by filling out a LWSD Volunteer Application here or checking your status AND showing proof of your COVID vaccination in our school office. Your volunteer status will expire after 2 years, at which time you will receive an email notice from the Raptor System to renew.

If you can fill one of the roles above or have questions, please email president@normanrockwellpta.org.
