Principal's Post
Tonight at 6:00 will be our 2nd School Improvement Council meeting of the year. Below is the Zoom link if you are interested in attending. We must elect a new Chair and Vice Chair due to term limits per SC SIC regulations. This group meets once a month for Principal updates and to ensure we are working to improve RRMS for ALL students. I hope you will join this evening.
Our SIC Goal for the 20-21 school year will be to provide Canvas support to parents and students through a series of short videos. Below are two that show how to set up observer accounts in case you do not already have one. We also added an additional "Middle Years" newsletter for parents as an extra support during this abnormal school year. We know assisting with your child's education can be an extra stressor. This newsletter shares ideas, explains the Middle School adolescent, and provides strategies to hopefully lessen the strain your family may be experiencing due to the current change in education.
Lastly, remember "C days" are not optional and count towards your child's attendance. Attendance is taken daily, whether your child is Virtual, on campus, or on their "remote" day. It is extremely important for each student to check Canvas everyday through launchpad ( https://launchpad.classlink.com/rockhill) to ensure they are counted present AND completing assignments. Attendance guidelines are below.
Best Regards,
Heather Andrus

2020-2021 RRMS Yearbook
Due to half our school being virtual, and the rest being A/B, we request students and parents send photos to be considered for the yearbook. We would love to see students and/or doing work online or otherwise, in class, or even doing things on their "off time". We'd also like fun candid photos with or without masks. Photos should be school appropriate. Photos can be submitted here.
Yearbooks (hardcover, 76 pages) may be ordered before 11/19/20 for the low price of $35. Please visit the website to order your yearbook here.

Free Breakfast and lunch for ALL Students
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting hardships placed on families, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has granted us the ability to feed all students for free. The Emergency Seamless Summer Option program, or SSO, has been approved to allow all enrolled students to receive a free lunch and breakfast every day. This program has been extended through December 31, 2020, or until federal funds run out. Once the program ends we will continue our participation in the National School Lunch Program in which students pay based off of their meal status. We will begin serving free meals starting on Tuesday, September 8.
For families who have added funds their K12 Payment Center meal pay accounts, you have the option to request a refund or leave funds in the account so you're ready when the free meals program ends later this year. To request a refund, please contact our Food Services Department.
School menus, including nutritional information, are available on the district website and the Rock Hill Schools mobile app.
Students in the Virtual Academy are able to order meals for pickup at select locations. For more about online ordering, watch this video.
School Bus Info
Transportation information can be accessed for your student(s) using E-Link and MyStop.
