New Students - Our fabulous Student Council has a program planned for all new students starting at 11am in the Auditorium/Theater. This is for students only. Students will get an introduction to Rocky culture through performances and special messages from our Student Council officers.
Parents/Guardians - once you drop off your student(s) at the theater, you are invited to participate in the following:
Explore information kiosks in our main office hallways (known as "the four corners") where you will learn about the resources and services provided in each of the offices.
At 11:10 AM, we invite you to join administrators and counselors in the cafeteria for a meet/greet in addition to a brief presentation about this year's goals and programs to promote college and career readiness for all Rocky students.
At 11:40 AM, parents/guardians will reunite with their students outside of the auditorium/theater and are welcome to explore the campus to find their classrooms and other key buildings in preparation for the first day of school. The building will be open until 12:30 PM.
Please have your schedules printed off before you arrive or written down with the room numbers so that you are able to explore the campus and find where your classrooms will be located.
Dress Code Reminder!
It's very important that you and your child review and understand the West Ada Dress Code Policy before the first day of school to avoid any possible disciplinary actions. To review the dress code in its entirety please visit Rocky Mountain's parent/student page.
