Principal's Post
Thank you to those that were able to participate in last week's Open House. Staying informed is one of the best ways you can support your child. We want to be a united front so that our students have all they need to be successful.
To celebrate the excellent behaviors we are seeing on campus, we will have our first dress down day of the year this week. Group A students will dress down on Thursday and Group B on Friday. Please review the guidelines below with your child to ensure they meet expectations.
Lastly, be sure your child is working on their Remote Day. This includes taking an attendance survey each day in each class to be counted "present" on the days they are working from home. If you have questions, please email one of your child's teachers.
Best Regards,
Heather Andrus

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.
