Good Morning Rochester Intermediate School Students and Staff!

Today is Thursday, January 11th , 2024

Please stand for the Pledge: 

I pledge allegiance, to the flag, of the United States of America, and to the Republic, for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

And now for a moment of reflection

Happy Birthday             

Ella Anderson, Everett Elder, Liam Hires, Haily Kerwin and Chase Locker

Bus Announcements

Bus #11 and Bus #23  are double routes today.

Just a reminder that  RIS double bus riders will go to the elementary campus to wait until their bus arrives.   

Students who enter through the gym in the morning need to make sure they follow the large blue line.  It is very wet outside and this will cut down on the mess!

Today’s lunch menu includes: 

  1. Emoji Pancakes and Sausage

  2. Hot Dog

  3. Chicken Nuggets

  4. Cheese or Pepperoni Pizza

  5. Chicken Patty

Remember, “Rockets RISE Together” by demonstrating:

Responsibility

Inclusion

Safety

Empathy

Parent Pick-up:

For parent pick-up at the end of the day, we prefer the line system.  All parents should remain in their vehicles and follow the pick-up line around and to the front of the building.  You may also choose to park in the spots in the parking lot. It is our preference that you use the line system, however if you choose to park, please come to the front of the building and escort your student to the vehicle safely. Under no circumstances should students be walking across the parking lot unescorted.  Thank you for your help with this!

Lunch Balances

The low lunch balance alerts have been reactivated for all families.  You will get an alert when your lunch balance is below $5.00.  If you choose to shut off the alert, you will no longer get any school announcements.
