Last year, with your support, we were able to purchase 43 extra copies of the yearbook. You have no idea the impact that made on our school! Become a yearbook angel - donate $10 (silver angel), $20 (gold angel), or $40 (platinum angel) and we will recognize your generosity in this year’s book. The students in need will receive a book purchased by our donors. They will receive these like all the other students and no one will ever know who these recipients are. Please complete the form below and send it in with your student in an envelope labeled: Yearbook Angels. Thank you for always supporting our students!

All middle schools in Rockingham County are going to spend some time this week helping to educated our students about digital citizenship. In today’s digital age, teaching kids how to navigate the online world responsibly is just as important as teaching them to be good citizens in the real world. Digital citizenship equips middle school students with the skills they need to use technology safely, ethically, and effectively. It’s about understanding how to: Stay Safe Online: Protect personal information, avoid scams, and recognize potential risks. Show Respect: Communicate respectfully with others and consider the impact of words and actions in digital spaces. Think Critically: Evaluate the reliability of online information and avoid misinformation. Balance Screen Time: Practice healthy habits for managing technology use. At this age, students are developing their independence, and their online presence is expanding. Digital citizenship helps them learn to make positive choices, build a responsible digital footprint, and contribute meaningfully to their communities—both online and offline. Together, we can guide our kids to thrive in a connected world. Let’s encourage open conversations about their digital experiences and reinforce the values of kindness, responsibility, and curiosity!
