Sign of the times today at Roanoke Rapids Early College High School. Thanks Ms.Moseley! #COVID19 #KidsAreOurCustomers #RRGSDCommunity

Parent/Student April 20th Update: If you have a library book you have finished reading, we will collect those this Wednesday during our packet pick up. Our librarians will be at Belmont, Chaloner and Manning to collect library books from 10 a.m. to 12 noon.  Students may return books to any school and we will sort them out, with the exception of RRHS Seniors.  Seniors we will arrange for you to turn in your library books and chromebooks some time next month. #KidsAreOurCustomers

RRGSD 4/7 Update: This is a reminder Wednesday, April 8 is our packet pick up day. We will have both meals and packets at Clara Hearne, Belmont, Manning, and Chaloner. You should go to your child’s respective school for packets. If you’re in a vehicle, you don’t need to get out of your vehicle. Our staff will hand off packets based on grade level and food. RRHS and Early College students: If you need your Chromebook repaired, bring your computer and charger to Manning between 11 and 12 Wednesday for repair. You must bring both for repair. #KidsAreOurCustomers

Parents/Students 4/2 Update: We’ve come up with an alternative plan to continue to feed our students and meet the Food & Drug Administration guidelines, protect our staff, and further limit our interaction during this current health crisis.  Beginning next Wednesday and every Wednesday going forward, our staff will hand out bags containing five breakfast meals and five snacks per person. These bags will be distributed once per week at Belmont, Chaloner, Clara Hearne, and Manning from 10am - noon. We are also changing the times of instructional packet distribution to 10 am to noon to coincide with meal distribution. Packets will be distributed every other Wednesday beginning April 8.  Additional safety procedures will be put in place during distribution for staff to mitigate infection including mandatory use of gloves and other CDC guidelines especially social distancing.  Once again we appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to navigate and make the best decisions for our families and staff during this pandemic.

RRECHS - Early College Applicants for School Year 2020-2021: We hope all of you are doing well and staying safe. RRECHS will be mailing out acceptance letters around mid-April. We are finalizing our data collecting process and will be in touch with you soon. Take care of yourselves and your families. We look forward to a great School Year 2020-2021. #KidsAreOurCustomers

RRHS & RRECHS Students: If your chromebook needs repair, we’re going to offer loaner chromebooks at Manning Elementary every Wednesday during the Grab & Go Meal service from 10 a.m. to noon.

RRGSD 3/23 Update: The Governor has ordered all schools to remain closed until May 15th. RRGSD will continue to move forward with our virtual learning plan which will begin on Monday, March 30th. Our teachers are working this week to prepare. Additionally, we will continue our Grab & Go Meal service Monday through Friday from 10 to noon at both Manning and Belmont Elementary Schools. We want to thank our families and staff for working with us as we continue to navigate the impact of this current health crisis. We will continue to provide up-to-date information as we receive it. 

RRGSD 3/22 Update: This week we will begin working on our remote learning plan. Teachers will be calling your home to ask you some questions regarding digital access. These calls may come from unknown numbers so we ask that you please make every effort to answer these calls as we finalize our plans for the coming weeks. We will continue to work in partnership with the state on what this extended closure means for our calendar. As soon as we have more information, we will share it with you. Also, Grab & Go Meals continue 10 a.m. - noon Mon.-Fri. at Belmont & Manning. #KidsAreOurCustomers

RRGSD Alert: Based on what we were instructed by the Governor’s Office and the Department of Public Instruction, our highest priorities were then, and still are, to make sure that all of our students are fed. We will continue to do that Monday through Friday from 10 to noon at both Belmont and Manning Elementary Schools. We’re working on a remote learning plan. We will have more on that plan next week until then we ask that you visit our RRGSD Instructional Services website for the “Resources for Learning” page. There you can find digital resources for students in Pre-K through 12 in all subject areas for enrichment. So far these missed days are considered teacher workdays so NO grades are being taken at this time. Thanks for your patience and understanding. The COVID-19 pandemic is unlike any event we have ever seen, forcing all of us to make countless decisions that have no precedent. https://sites.google.com/rrgsd.org/instructionalservices/resources-for-learning-home?authuser=0

Come pick up your breakfast & lunch at either Belmont or Manning Elementary. Our Grab & Go Meal service runs until noon today for all students. #KidsAreOurCustomers

At this point, parents/families may wonder what they should do to help students academically. The quickest answer is encourage your child to read because reading is so important for all academic areas. We've created a new page devoted to a list of resources that parents can use for Learning at Home. #KidsAreOurCustomers https://sites.google.com/rrgsd.org/instructionalservices/resources-for-learning-home

Parent/Student Alert: The Superintendent’s Cabinet held an emergency meeting Sunday to discuss our plans going forward as we work through the current school closure due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). This is all new territory so we ask for your patience. We have posted a list of frequently asked questions in the News section of our website with answers. We WILL be providing a Grab & Go Drive-Thru type service weekdays for ALL students beginning Tuesday, March 17 from 10 a.m. to 12 noon at both Belmont and Manning Elementary Schools. Students will receive a bag that will include both breakfast & lunch items. At this time we will NOT be providing virtual learning. Additional concerns are addressed in our FAQ. #KidsAreOurCustomers

Parents/Staff: We want you to know our Superintendent’s Cabinet is meeting today to discuss our plans going forward as we work through the current health crisis. There is no blueprint or playbook to follow here - only compassionate leadership with the best interests of our students, staff, and their families in mind. We will be posting later this evening our plans to provide breakfast & lunch for our students while we are closed and answers to some frequently asked questions. #KidsAreOurCustomers

Parent/Student Alert: Roanoke Rapids Graded Schools will be closed starting Monday March 16, 2020 through at least March 30th in accordance with the emergency declaration from the Governor in response to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19 (Coronavirus). This includes Roanoke Rapids Early College High School. We are also in the process of determining if we can provide school nutrition for our students. This information will be shared in the coming days.   While we were hopeful to remain open, we must comply with these directives. All campuses will be open on Monday to allow staff ONLY to retrieve items they may need.

Students/Parents: Our Early College Scholars will NOT be required to make up the Feb. 21, 2020 snow day. The RRGSD Board of Education voted to forgive that day.

Congratulations to our RR Early College High School Teacher of the Year, Holly Holman and Support Person of the Year, Angie Lassiter. #KidsAreOurCustomers
