Safe2Help
Safe2Help is a 24/7 program for students, staff, and families to share school safety issues, find resources to get help, and find encouragement to help others. Anyone can call to talk to a trained staff member about abuse, bullying, depression, self-injury, or suicidal thoughts for themselves or other students. You can access Safe2Help by calling 844-4-SAFEIL, texting SAFE2(72332), or emailing help@safe2helpIL.com.
Note from nurse
If you are not feeling well please go to the nurse’s office. From there we can arrange for your parents to pick you up.
Pick-ups during school hours
If you need to pick up your Jr High student during the school day please contact Mrs. Jones in the office at 217-498-9761 ext. 1002 or cjones@rochester3a.net prior to pick up. This way we can try to get your student out to you in a timely manner. When you do pick them up, you will pull up to the front of the Jr High and call the phone number above. We will walk the student to your car, so you may sign them out of the building.
Hazel Heath
We’re launching our health services program for this school year, and we want to make sure your family has access to these services all year long. Our district is hosting a Consent for Care Drive to ensure 100% of families learn about our student health services from Hazel Health. With Hazel, students can immediately speak with a Hazel doctor right from school or at home.
On-demand health services include:
Medical treatment: For stomach aches, headaches, sprained ankles, asthma concerns, and everything in between
Medication: Prescriptions written or over-the-counter provided at school when needed
Coordination: With family physician and return to school communications
Parents - Please sign the Consent for Care form to ensure your child has access to these services: my.hazel.co/rochester3a
If you have already completed the form, thank you! You can help us reach 100% of families this week by reminding your fellow Rochester CUSD 3A families to opt-in to this service during our drive.
Few reminders about RJHS:
The doors at RJHS open at 7:45.
The tardy bell rings at 8:05 which means that students should be in class, ready to learn by 8:05.
School is dismissed at 3:05.
Lunch is 12:22 - 12:52
Students should bring a plastic water bottle (with a lid). Water fountains are not available, although we do have bottle filling stations.
Parent drop-off & pick-up is on the NORTH side of the building, near the auditorium doors (across the parking lot from the football field). Buses will drop-off & pick-up on the SOUTH side (route 29 side) of the building.
Please make sure your student's chromebook is charged and ready to go tomorrow morning!
Student phones should be turned off and out of sight during the school day, although students are allowed to use them at lunch time. Airpods/earbuds/headphones are only to be used in class when directed by the teacher such as when students are independently watching videos for instruction.
Students should report directly to their first period (Learning Lab) class upon arrival.
Lockers will only be used before school, at lunch time, and after school.
No gaiters, please use a mask.
