Hello, Rams! Due to a water main break in Rockdale, we are currently without water at the school. Because of this issue, we will be using an emergency day at Rockdale School. There will be NO school today. We will not be utilizing an e-learning day, so there are no expectations for students to sign into their computer today to complete any work at home. We will keep you updated on next steps for tomorrow, December 19th. Thank you for your cooperation and swift attention to this matter. If you have any questions, please email Ms. Darlin or Dr. Merritt directly. There will not be anybody in the office to answer the phone.Enjoy your day!

Hello, Rams!

Thank you for your response to the Holiday Program RSVP form that was sent out on Friday, November 14th. Since all K-5 students will be participating in a performance on the same day, we quickly reached our gym capacity for the event, which is 253 available seats for audience members.

In order to ensure all students and families stay safe during the Holiday programs, we have revised the RSVP process for this event. All K-5 families MUST RSVP for the holiday program on Thursday, December 18th using the new form below (EVEN if you filled out the original form). We will not be accepting any walk-ins on the day of the performance. Families will be given up to three tickets for either the 10:00 a.m. performance or the 2:00 p.m. performance.

The RSVP form will be open until 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 11th OR until all available spaces are filled. After this time, no additional RSVPs will be taken.

If your family requires more than three tickets, you will need to call the office, where your name will be put on a waitlist. Once we have closed the RSVP form on December 11th, we will assess how many seats are still available for each performance and contact families on the waitlist to let you know if additional tickets are available.

Thank you for your swift attention to this matter. We look forward to seeing you at the Holiday Program this year!
