Dear Rockridge JH & HS Parents/Guardians,
The purpose of this message is to inform you that we conducted a Hold Drill this morning at Rockridge JH & HS. The drill was planned with Administration & Deputy Rasso, but was not communicated with students or staff in advance so everyone could practice their response to our procedures. During the Hold Drill the building complex was locked down and units from several area law enforcement agencies conducted a canine search of the premises. All students and staff remained in classrooms conducting normal activities while the dogs searched hallway lockers, locker rooms, and the parking lot. The drill was completed promptly and the daily schedule resumed with minimal disruption to the school day.
We appreciate the opportunity to inform parents of the safety measures in place in the Rockridge School District. As always, if you have questions, please feel free to contact the school office.
Sincerely,
Katy Hasson, Principal
Rockridge High School
Thank you to Mr. Herb Schultz, who made a contribution of $8,300 to the Rockridge Schools Foundation in honor and memory of his late wife, Heidi. The donation was recognized at the Rockridge School Board meeting on April 14th. Heidi Schultz was a member of the Rockridge Board of Education for 12 years and later was instrumental in establishing the Rockridge Schools Foundation to provide support to Rockridge classroom teachers. Thank you, Herb, for your generous contribution in Heidi's memory!
