RJHS End of Year Celebration

The end of year celebration for both 7th and 8th grade will be done on the last day of school.  This will be student attendance only.  They will be shown an awards presentation and then awards will be handed out during their 1st hour class.

We are thrilled to begin offering performing arts camps (PAC) at Rochester this Summer.  There will be two, one week camps the week of July 18 and the week of July 25.  Camp will be available to students entering the 3rd grade through completion of 9th grade.  The attendees are placed in four groups based upon birthdate.  Campers will participate in daily classes in stage, art, music, dance and recreation.  The campers will perform on Friday at 5:30 pm their very own show with each group performing a skit, a song and dance, and all will participate in a full group production number.  Registration will begin April 11 and enrolled students at Rochester will have first chance at the camps.  Camp runs from 9-4 p.m. daily.  A daycare option is available at an additional cost which allows campers to be dropped off after 7:30 a.m. and picked up by 5:30 p.m.  You may attend one or both camps.  You may email our Fine Arts Coordinator, Mr. Bauser with any questions bbauser@rochester3a.net.

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 7:30.

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.
