Roanoke Rapids High School

RRHS Students: We have created a special webpage explaining our virtual learning schedule and attendance requirements. Check it out here: https://www.rrgsd.org/o/rrhs/page/school-year-2020-2021-virtual-learning-plan

Immunization Reminder: Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 7th Grade students are required to have updated immunizations prior to starting school on August 17th even though we are beginning the year virtually. Additionally, rising Seniors are now required to have the meningococcal (Menactra) vaccine. September 15th is the deadline to submit your child’s records to their respective school nurse. This is especially important because when we do return to in-person instruction, they will not be allowed to return without the proper documentation. Appointments may be made with the Halifax County Health Department or your child's pediatrician. #KidsAreOurCustomer #BackToSchool

Coach Lyons can be reached at: lyonsc.rrhs@rrgsd.org

Parents: During the COVID-19 pandemic, our district has had to reimagine how we can provide a high-quality education for all learners while maintaining safety as a top priority. In order to allow you adequate time to plan, we are providing you with a first look at potential plans for reopening school in the fall. We will be collecting your feedback ‪through June 30, 2020‬, and will be releasing a more finalized plan that integrates your feedback and state mandates in July.

Great News! The Roanoke Rapids High School SkillsUSA chapter is thrilled to receive the Lowe’s Resource Grant. Through this grant we received $1000 of resources to be used in our chapter and classrooms. Our chapter is starting our 3rd year and looking forward to what these resources can help us accomplish. With this past school year being cut short and the uncertainty of how the next school year will play out, these resources will be invaluable to us! We are excited to start using these resources to help our student leaders grow in their roles and to implement the framework of SkillsUSA throughout our chapter and classrooms. Partnerships like this help us to be able to show our students what is possible when we all work together and support each other. #LowesSkillsUSA
