Rockingham County Schools’ Homework Assistance Line (“HAL”) is served by licensed teachers for students in grades K-12.  Students or parents may call and have a teacher help them work out problems or explain assignments in core and advanced subject areas. 

Days / Hours of Operation:

Monday-Thursday  4:00 pm – 8:00 pm, beginning in September after Labor Day and ending one week before End-of-Grade Tests.

The Homework Assistance Line is closed every teacher workday, holiday, day before a holiday and when schools are closed or released early due to bad weather.

It is time for our annual survey of families and guardians to start on Monday, May 5. The survey will close on May 31.  It is critical that we get as much participation as possible to gather input from our stakeholders and to inform school improvement in our schools.  This is an annual requirement for our educational programs.

Please take a few minutes to complete the survey. Your feedback helps us improve and better support our students and families.

The link to the survey can be found here.
