NCSSM Interest Meeting Coming Up

PCC College & Career Promise Meeting

A message from Roxboro Police Chief David Hess: ​​RCS Family, Since the beginning of the school year, RCS Administrators have asked ​you to​ help keep students safe by refraining from stopping on Depot Street at the railroad tracks to drop off students. Parents are making illegal u-turns and/or stopping in the roadway, causing near crashes and creating safety hazards for student walkers. The police department will begin conducting enforcement in the area for traffic violations that occur. Drivers could be cited. Help us help make sure your children and the students walking to school remain safe by using the appropriate school drop off procedures. The last thing any of us want is a vehicle accident that injures a child. Respectfully, David L. Hess Chief of Police

The Dining Hall relies on parent/grandparent volunteers to keep things running smoothly in a busy atmosphere. Volunteers are needed between 10:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. daily to help set up to serve hot lunches; take up money and check off the names of students who eat in the dining hall; clean microwaves, and restock for the next day. It takes a minimum of three volunteers per day. It is an easy way to fulfill volunteer hour commitments. Please email russbs@roxborocs.org to sign up. Volunteers are needed on September 17, 20, 23, 24, 27, and most days for the month of October.

Parents, please have your child come to school with a face mask. We have a supply for genuine emergencies, but not enough to continue providing them on a daily basis. Thank you for your cooperation.

RCS is seeking substitute teachers for the 2021-22 school year. If interested, please download and complete an application at www.roxborocs.org/page/careers-at-rcs and return to Mrs. Graham at the front desk.

Parents, please remember that the only students allowed to come in the front door in the morning are children of staff. All others should be dropped off at the sixth grade door or use the high school entrance at the back of the building. Thank you for your cooperation.
