Get Involved

Parents are essential partners in their child's education. There are many ways that you as a parent can support Rockdale and our student community. We invite you to volunteer and join our many parent participation groups. For more information and to begin the application process please go to https://achieve.lausd.net/Page/10443 . We look forward to the collaboration!

Parent Teacher Association (PTA): Our Rockdale PTA advocates for the welfare of our students, organizes fundraising events essential to many of our programs, and plans many fun gatherings. We need your support. For more information, please see our PTA page.

In the Classroom: Parent volunteerism in the classroom is determined based on need, as determined by each teacher. Often times parents help organize activities as room parents, assist with small group instruction, lead special projects, or act as chaperones on school field trips.

School Site Council (SSC): 

The School Site Council is a decision-making council composed of teachers and parents, that works with the principal to develop, review, and evaluate school improvement programs and school budgets. This is a great way to learn what is happening at school. Orientation and elections are held within the first six weeks of the school year. The group meets on the third Tuesday of the month, in the afternoon. School Site Council (SSC) Agenda & Minutes are Available for Review in the Front Office

 

The LAUSD Parent and Family Engagement Policy outlines the district’s commitment to strengthening partnerships between schools and families. It highlights how parents and guardians can play an active role in supporting their child’s learning and how schools will create meaningful opportunities for involvement.

The Parent-Student Compact is a shared agreement between students, families, and the school. It describes how all members of our community will work together to ensure every student’s academic success—by promoting responsibility, communication, and a supportive learning environment.
