Registration fees for K-8 students are $80.00 and $100.00 for HS Students. JH & HS Students are also assessed the Student Technology Fee is $30.00. The Technology Fee takes the place of the separate Chromebook Insurance Policy from past years. High School Students may also have additional fees based upon the student’s class schedule. All fees have been pre-loaded into your student’s Lumen account. Parents can also add lunch money payments via the Lumen portal.
JH & HS Students can purchase PE Clothes through the online store from Breedlove’s Sporting Goods (https://rockridgepefall2024.itemorder.com/shop/home/). The store closes at 11:59 pm on July 24th. All items will be shipped to school and delivered to students once school starts.

Mrs. Robinson's first grade class read all of the "What if You Had Animal....." books. after each book we added the animal part. We created some very interesting looking people with animal parts!
Mrs. Sours' 2nd grade class learned about erosion and the Earth's surface in Science. This lesson explored why there is sand at a beach. The students had to pretend to be a body of water and tear up pieces of construction paper to model what happens to rocks as they travel through the water.
Mrs. Robinson’s class has been busy learning about 3D shapes. Today we learned about making composite shapes. We started with individual challenges and worked our way up to group challenges. Lots of fun and critical thinking!
