Thanks to the Halifax County Sheriff's Department, Sheriff Wes Tripp, Deputy Chief Scott Hall, and the community for your generous donation of toys to our students. There will be plenty of smiles this holiday season. #KidsAreOurCustomers #RRGSDCommunity

Even before COVID-19, being a school nurse was a challenging role. Our RRGSD nurses have been on the front lines of our COVID response ensuring the health and safety of our students and staff on our campuses and virtually. We could not do the important work we do as a District without our amazing school nurses. Join us today in thanking our nurses! #COVIDSchoolYear #KidsAreOurCustomers

RRGSD Families: Manning & Belmont’s morning and afternoon Place to Play will be cancelled this afternoon and for the rest of the week due to the lack of available Place to Play staff as a result of a COVID-19 related closure at Clara Hearne Pre-K Center impacting students and staff. Many of our Clara Hearne staff members also work for Place to Play. Thank you for your patience as we try our best to keep everyone as safe as possible. #KidsAreOurCustomers

Thanks to the countless individuals who donated to our students in need. The holidays will be brighter for these families because of you! #KidsAreOurCustomers #RRGSDCommunity
