July 21, 2021 RCS Cares About Your Safety Update
NC Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) has released an updated StrongSchoolsNC Toolkit that K-12 schools are asked to follow. This Toolkit just went live as this afternoon at 2:00 p.m. NCDHHS has indicated that these changes will not go into effect until July 30, 2021. We just received these updates as they went live for the general public and are working to understand the updates and prepare implementation guidance for our schools and families. We will also be working with our local health department. We will provide updates as soon as possible once we are able to read and process through these changes. We understand you will want to know what this means for your student and your students’ school and we will share this as soon as we can. You may view the StrongSchoolNC Toolkit that was released this afternoon by NCDHHS by clicking here: https://covid19.ncdhhs.gov/media/164/open . This toolkit provided by the NC Department of Health and Human Services is provided to K-12 schools for what procedures we are asked to follow. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to better understand these new procedures that were just released from NCDHHS. We will be working with our safety team and our local health department to better understand what this means for RCS. We care greatly for our students and staff and their overall well being and we look forward to our new school year.

Student COVID-19 Vaccination Clinics are available!
Great News! We have had a wonderful opportunity through Cone Health to obtain COVID-19 vaccination clinics for students, ages 12 and above. Cone Health will provide the vaccines for the students at the four traditional high schools on a schedule. Participation is voluntary. There is no charge for the vaccinations; however, we will need signed permission (see this link here for a letter and consent form: http://bit.ly/RCSCONSENTFORM) from each student’s parent or legal guardian that provides consent for their child to allow health officials to administer the Pfizer vaccination. These events are also open to the community and any interested staff who have not received their vaccine.
Here is the schedule of the clinics for the high schools: http://bit.ly/RCSStudentVACCINE
We hope our students and families will take advantage of this and other opportunities offered in our community to protect your child and loved ones from COVID-19 by getting vaccinated. We are grateful to Cone Health for making this special opportunity possible. If you have any questions, please contact your school principal or your school nurse.

RCS and UNCG offer Teacher Residency Program: 1/12/2021
Please share this exciting news with anyone that has an interest in becoming a teacher.
Rockingham County Schools is partnering with UNCG to offer a Teacher Residency Program. Please see the important details regarding this opportunity at the link below.
Piedmont Teacher Residency Program
Individuals selected must currently have an undergraduate degree with a GPA of 3.00. Individuals will receive a $35,000 stipend to complete their Master's Degree over the course of 18 months. In exchange, applicants agree to teach in Rockingham County for three years. Opportunities exist for elementary and secondary content areas as well as Exceptional Children areas of study. Individuals currently teaching are not eligible for this program, as this is a recruitment opportunity designed to recruit new teachers into the profession.
Please help us spread the word and recruit future potential teachers to Rockingham County!
