Rock Hill Local School District

To all Pre School and Elementary School Parents: Effective today, Pre school dismissal for parent Pre K will begin at 2:00 p.m.. All Kindergarten through 5th grade parent pick ups will begin at 2:15 due to bus loading changes the district is implementing to help improve efficiency. The pick up times are changing to allow sufficient time for the front parking lot to be cleared of all student pick up traffic. Buses will now load at the front of the building in the bus parking area beginning at 2:30 p.m. Bus unloading and student drop off for the morning will not change. The Rock Hill Local School District appreciates your patience and cooperation in making this transition as smooth as possible for the safety of our students.

Hello this is Mr. Hopper, I just want to send out a brief message to clarify events of today at Rock Hill. We were asked by law enforcement to go on a heightened alert status due to an incident involving a shooting that occurred within our school district toward one of our teachers on State Route 93 at the old middle school on her way to work. Thankfully no one was injured. We went on a soft lockdown in all buildings as a precautionary measure until the suspect was apprehended this afternoon. At no time were any staff or students in any danger as a result. Sincerely, Mr Hopper

It was a great first day at Rock Hill Middle School. Im very proud of our students helping one another to make the day go smoothly. Students heard my mission statement multiple times today: Come to school each and every day on time, treat others the way you would want to be treated, and do your best in all your academics. These are crucial to my vision of creating an academic foundation that will continue to be built upon, allowing students the opportunity either to go to college, vocational school, or complete post secondary training in order to become a productive member of society.

Rock Hill Middle School would like to welcome back staff and students tomorrow. Please make a note that student drop offs and pickups by car will remain the same as last year. If you are dropping your child off in the morning by car, follow the signs on the east side lot to the one way location behind the school. You will then stop at the stop sign on the other side of the building to allow your child to enter the west wing entrance. That door will open at 7:15 a. m. for entry. Teachers will be on duty for your children. On the other hand, those who pick up middle school children by car at the end of the day will park on the east lot. Designated pickups will then walk up to the east wing exit between the annex building and locker room to sign their child out. Teachers on duty can ask for identification for the safety of a child. Teachers will begin lining up pickup students inside the building at 2:40 and will walk them to the east wing exit in an orderly manner. All guardians will remain outside as the child is released to his or her designated individual. Morning drop off or afternoon pickup cars are prohibited to drive on the lot in front of the building, as this is for buses and staff parking only. Please remember buses have the right of way. A map of these directions has been posted online. Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our kids safe.

Most routes are the same as last year with a few having minor changes. The first few days please plan to have children waiting approximately 10 minutes earlier than in the past until times can become consistent. Please contact Bill Barker - Transportation Director with any questions at 740-532-7030 Option 4
