A NOTE FROM PRINCIPAL GUETTER
Good Afternoon ROCORI Families—
Spring tends to be a very busy time around the ROCORI secondary campus. As we work to complete our last nine weeks of academics, we are also working through the planning stages of other spring activities. We are working to finalize the plans for Prom 2021. Our date is set for May 8th and we will get the times for activities out as we continue to work through them and sort out the specific details. Graduation is set for Saturday, June 5th. We are also working out the specific details for this event as well to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for all that are able to attend.
Just another reminder to sign up for our spring parent teacher conferences if you wish to and have not yet done so yet. Conference sign up will be open through Monday, April 5th. To sign up, log into Skyward family access an go to the conference tab. When in Skyward, please review your e-mail address to ensure it is accurate.
Please continue to report any COVID illness information to the ROCORI Secondary office as needed.
As always, we appreciate all your cooperation and support as we navigate through this school year.
Have a great weekend and stay safe.

RMS & RHS VIRTUAL SPRING CONFERENCES
Our spring conferences at the secondary school will be conducted the week of April 12th-15th. Conferences will once again be in a virtual format using Microsoft Teams. To sign up, log in to Skyward family access and go to the conference tab. Conference sign up is open through April 6th. Here you will be able to view teacher schedules and sign up for a conference.
Also, when you are in Skyward, please check to ensure your e-mail address is up to date. This address will be used by the teachers to set up the conferences with you.
SCHOLASTIC BOOKFAIR APRIL 6TH-9TH
There are some great deals and you get to double your books with the BOGO. An example of how a BOGO works is if you purchase a book for $5, you can get another book for $5 or less for free. You can’t buy a $5 book and get a $10 book for free…but you could buy that $10 book and get a $5 for free….hopefully not too confusing…that’s why I have Jana here for the math support.

The District provides technical support when students are off campus. If your child is experiencing issues, contact our tech support team at techsupport@rocori.k12.mn.us or 320-685-4919
