RCS Seeking Partnerships for Remote Learning
Roxboro Community School is required by the state of North Carolina to include five remote learning days in the calendar for the 2020-2021 school year. These are Wednesdays, spread throughout the year. With the uncertainty over how school will be conducted depending on the state of COVID19, we are also unsure what the return to school will be like. Thus, we ask our local businesses and other community partners to please let us know if you can offer free wifi, child care accommodations, or other services to help our students and parents if/when remote instruction is necessary. Please contact Phyliss Boatwright at boatwrightpa@roxborocs.org or 336-597-0020, extension 220 if you can help.

RCS Softball Team has one of the highest GPAs in the state.
The NCHSAA Scholar Athlete Program is sponsored by the Governor’s Highway Safety Program’s “Click It or Ticket” initiative and provides certificates of recognition to individual students as well as teams that meet the qualification standards. For individuals to qualify, they must have a 3.5 weighted GPA or higher during the semester under consideration, and for a team to qualify for recognition they must have a combined unweighted GPA of 3.1 or higher during their semester of competition.
The RCS softball team had the third highest GPA, at 3.802.
The Scholar Athlete Program is the association's largest voluntary program. This year the NCHSAA awarded over 20,000 certificates and recognized 890 qualifying teams across the state.
