Although news from your local school is likely most important to you, there are many timely topics of interest to parents district-wide. We are now offering a free Rockingham County Schools Parent/Community E-Newsletter: “RCS Connect” for anyone wishing to sign up for it, parents/guardians, grandparents and/or community members.

All email addresses used to sign up for the service will be kept confidential, and will only be used in the distribution of this newsletter, typically every 4-8 weeks.

Additionally, a link to our school's biweekly newsletter, The BARK, is available to view by clicking the button below.
