Food Pantry Donations
I work with students and families at Rock Bridge High School, particularly those who may need a little extra support navigating barriers that can make high school more difficult. One way we provide that support is through our school food pantry, which helps provide food and other essentials to students and their families. While our pantry is generously supported by the Food Bank of Central and Northeast Missouri, I would love to expand the variety of food and hygiene products we are able to offer. Below is a wish list where you can choose whatever items you would like to contribute. Donations can be brought directly to Rock Bridge High School or shipped to 4303 S. Providence Rd., Columbia, MO 65203. Every donation goes directly to our students and their families, and if you’ve ever wondered how you can help support Rock Bridge students, this is a wonderful opportunity to make a meaningful difference. Thank you for your continued support!

GOING HOME ILL:
If a student becomes ill during the school day and needs to go home, they must checkout
through the health office. Contact will be made with a parent/guardian or another adult
designated by the parent before the student is excused for the day. If your student contacts you
from their cell phone and wants to go home, please remind them to come to the nurses’ office.
MEDICATION POLICY:
Rock Bridge High School students ARE NOT allowed to carry medications considered to be in
the “schedule II” category of controlled substances (examples: Adderall, Dextrostat, Ritalin,
Ritalin SR, etc.) These medications must be stored and administered through the nurse’s office.
Students ARE allowed to carry all other prescriptions and over the counter medications. All
self-administered medication must be in a properly labeled pharmaceutical bottle containing
only the amount needed for the school day.
The health office may administer over-the-counter medication to a student if the district has
received signed permission from the student's parent/guardian. Over-the-counter medication
