Our 20th Year Celebration is just a week away! For those who were wondering, you will be able to explore the halls and history of RCS. We will have pictures from over the years, highlights from our arts departments and athletics, and lots of memorabilia to look through. We will also have an alumni jazz band performing in the MPR with alumni from the Class of 2014 to the Class of 2022! We want this event to be an opportunity to celebrate our past and provide a venue for parents, students, alumni, and community members to meet up and share memories of RCS.

Do you still have some artwork you made while at RCS? We are looking for artwork made by any of our alumni that we could possibly showcase at our 20th Year Celebration. If you have any from your time at RCS that you're willing to share, please email Mrs. Bettendorf at bettendorfar@roxborocommunityschool.org.

We are still looking for any photos and/or memories anyone has from their time at or associated with RCS for our 20th Year Celebration on August 29th!
You can fill out this Google Form with pictures, memories or both and you can send in as many submissions as you'd like! If you have any questions, issues, or would like to just email memories, please email Madeline Phillips at phillipsmm@roxborocommunityschool.org.

The seniors celebrated their last first day of school at their Senior Sunrise! Thank you to all the parents who helped make this event happen!

The Senior Sunrise Breakfast is tomorrow morning at 7 a.m. in the MPR! Seniors, come celebrate your last first day of school together!

We have a busy and exciting evening tomorrow with our Middle School Open House and a home volleyball game happening at the same time! To help with traffic flow and make parking easier for everyone, we are asking that you please follow the parking plan below:

Middle School Open House Families: Please park in the staff parking lot in front of the school.
Volleyball Game Attendees: Please park in the Woody parking lot.

We appreciate everyone helping us keep traffic moving and making sure our families and guests can get where they need to be as easily as possible.

We are doing our 7th and 8th Grade Open House a little differently this year. It will be a floating event, meaning there is no specific arrival time or formal group presentation. Both 7th and 8th grade families may arrive anytime between 5:00 and 7:30 p.m. and visit your child's teachers in their classrooms.

During your visit, you will have an opportunity to meet teachers, visit classrooms, learn about expectations for the year, ask questions, and help your child become more familiar with RCS before the first day of school.

Come when it works best for your family and stay for the amount of time you need. We hope this format makes open house more convenient, personal, and welcoming for everyone.

We hope to see you there tomorrow, August 11!
