RISD REPORT

The end of a school year is always exciting, but also hectic for students, teachers and parents.

It is even more so for our second grade, eighth grade and senior students who are moving to the next campus, college or even lifelong career.

This week Junior High Principal Kelly Blair has some exciting news of her own regarding the end of year celebrations at RJH.

Rockdale Junior High wants to celebrate a successful year for staff and students.

On Wednesday, May 22, we will celebrate students during our End of Year Awards Assemblies for sixth and seventh grade.

Each teacher will recognize one student who has exhibited academic excellence for the entire school year.

We will also recognize students with perfect attendance and All A’s for the year. The Sixth Grade Assembly is scheduled for 8:30 a.m, followed by seventh grade at 9:30 a.m.

Upon completion of the awards assemblies, we will finish the day with the first annual End of Year student celebration.

From 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., students rotate through a variety of activity stations including a rolling indoor game truck, water balloon battleship, kickball slip-n-slide, an escape room, tug of war, face painting, open gym, and movies.

Students with no referrals during the dates of April 22-May 17 and passing all classes for the sixth six weeks are eligible to attend.

Finally, we will honor the eighth-grade graduating class on Thursday, May 23 beginning with a promotion breakfast at 8:30 a.m., followed by the ceremony at

10.

The salutatorian and valedictorian will address the 2019 graduates followed by the presentation of certificates from the Rockdale Junior High administration.
