Feeling a little lost with the process of applying to college? Come to our College Planning Night on September 26th at 6pm in the auditorium and we will go over what you need to know. Also, senior presentations begin September 16th in the RMHS Career Center to assist students with the application and planning process.
The Advisory period is an opportunity for students to develop academic resilience and proficiency in the standards of their courses. If a student is assigned an Advisory period during a quarter because they have not met the proficiency requirements in their grades or assessment targets, they are required to attend Advisory. In Advisory, students have the opportunity to work on assignments and to complete reassessments as needed. Attendance is taken, so students need to attend to avoid any consequences associated with an unexcused absence. We encourage all students, even those who are not currently assigned Advisory, to go to a teacher during the Advisory period to get assistance or to complete a reassessment. Throughout the quarter, students in Advisory will have an opportunity to earn incentives if they maintain grades of a "C" or higher in all of their classes.
New Student Orientation Friday, August 9th
We hope you encourage your students to attend the New Student Orientation at Rocky on Friday, August 9th, from 11am-12:30 pm. The Rocky Student Council will meet with students first in the Auditorium at 11 am. Students will have an opportunity to get to know our student leaders, participate in fun activities, and will have a chance to learn more about the great opportunities available to them this year.
For parents, there will be an opportunity to attend a meeting with administrators to learn more about the school, our goals for this year, and how to support their students during the school year. There will also be a Q & A portion of the meeting. After the meeting, parents will have a chance to reunite with their students and are welcome to walk around the campus to locate your students' classes.
Here is a breakdown of the Orientation schedule:
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM: New Students ONLY will meet in the Auditorium with the Rocky Student Council for a presentation and fun activities; parents can choose to leave at this time or stay for the information meeting with administrators in the Cafeteria
