Principal's Post
Dear Parents and Guardians,
This week our Raiders had the opportunity to watch a daytime performance of The Grinch. In addition, they were able to peruse the amazing artwork located in the lobby. Students were all smiles leaving the auditorium! Next week is packed full of events so please see below and come out to support our talented students.
Monday through Thursday students will take benchmark assessments for all core classes, so teachers will know what students have learned to guide instruction for the 2nd semester. The District Benchmarks are cumulative from Quarter 1 and Quarter 2 content. These assessments are not for a grade, but to progress monitor the learning. Please assist with making sure your child charges his or her laptop each night and brings earbuds if needed for testing.
PTO meets Monday at 6:00 via Zoom. Join us!
Have a great weekend Raider Nation!
Warm Regards,
Heather Andrus

A message from RHS Safety and Security Director on 12/9/21
Dear Rawlinson Road Middle School Family,
In the wake of recent news events of violence in schools both locally and nationally, we are making additional efforts to be thorough and diligent in our safety efforts right now.
Today we conducted randomized safety checks at your child’s school and we want to assure you this was a preventative measure to increase awareness around safety and security in our buildings. Today our safety and security team worked with our local law enforcement officials to conduct randomized searches in classrooms. We used the same routine screening process that we conduct during regular safety checks and this was not the result of a threat but rather a preventative strategy. We can assure you we will continue having these kinds of checks in our schools at all levels for the remainder of this school year.
I’d like to remind you that weapons do not belong in our schools and I ask that you join our team’s efforts in keeping schools safe. Please be sure your child does not have access to weapons at home.
If you do not have a gun lock, you can get one for free from the York County Sheriff’s Office or the Rock Hill Police Department. Your preventative actions are just as important as ours.
Lastly, we’d like to remind you to speak with your child about our “See Something, Say Something” initiative. If your child sees something or hears something suspicious, alarming, or concerning, please encourage them to notify an adult as soon as possible. Parents can also report tips through our tip line at https://www.rock-hill.k12.sc.us/Page/6778 or in our app.
We take every tip seriously and investigate them in coordination with our schools and law enforcement.
Thank you all for your continued efforts in keeping each of our children safe this school year.
James E. Brown, Jr.
Rock Hill Schools Safety and Security Director
