Our School

Our Principal

Ms. Melissa McClelland

Welcome to the 2025–2026 School Year!

I am excited to welcome you to the 2025–2026 school year! Whether you are new to our school or returning for another year, we are so glad to have you as part of the Rock Springs community.

This marks my third year as principal, and I am more energized than ever to continue working alongside our incredible staff, students, and families. Our team is dedicated to creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment where every child can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Our theme this year is “Building LEADers”—a focus on developing Leadership, Empowerment, Accountability, and Determination in every student. At Rock Springs Elementary, we believe every child has the capacity to lead in their own unique way. Through meaningful learning experiences, character-building activities, and strong relationships, we will guide our students as they grow into confident, compassionate, and capable leaders.

This theme will be woven into everything we do from classroom instruction and school-wide events to the daily interactions we share. Our goal is to help each child recognize their strengths, take ownership of their learning, and make a positive difference in their school and community.

Thank you for trusting us with your child’s education. We are honored to partner with you and look forward to a year filled with growth, leadership, and lasting memories. Together, we are building something special.  Together, we are Building LEADers.

Your proud principal,

Melissa M. McClelland
