BobChat (Open House Edition)

Parents,

We are excited to see you and your child on tomorrow at our Open House. Your child's teachers look forward to meeting you. Feel free to drop by any of these areas to meet our staff and ask questions. Here is a checklist of activities to help you navigate through the evening.

1. Homeroom Teacher Classrooms--Be sure to let teachers know how your child will go home each day. Also, you will need to scan the QR Code for PTO so we can have your child's size for t-shirts for our Bobcat Dash Fundraiser. Also, please pick up sponsorship forms for the Bobcat Dash in your child's homeroom.

2. Registration and Parent Portal--(Cafeteria) If you need any assistance with enrollment, registration or Parent Portal, Mrs. Hunsucker and Mrs. Fortuna will have computers in the cafeteria that you can use to access these programs. They will also be there to respond to any questions.

3. Be Great Academy After School Program--(A108 Classroom in the Lobby near the Office and Media Center) Mr. Gene Simpson, our Be Great Academy Director for Cherry Park, and Ms. Jess Sanders, Area Coordinator, will be in that location to respond to any questions or register students for our after school program.

4. Technology Protection Plan and Mobile Computer Guides--(Media Center) Mrs. Emily Walker and Mrs. Michelle Milslage will be in the media center to assist with completing the online forms and receiving the $20 TPP payments.

5. Car Tags for Dismissal--(Office Lobby and C Hall) Staff will be available at tables in the Office Lobby and also on C Hall (Kindergarten and 1st Grade Hall) to pass out car tags. All families, including families in Be Great Academy, need to pick up a car tag because there will be early dismissals or weather related events when Be Great Academy may not be in session. Blue car tags are for those using the Caswell Dismissal Loop (at the top) and Green car tags are for the Cherry Road Loop (at the bottom). Please know which car loop you will use before picking up your cards. There will be a limit of 4 per family. If you need extras, please pick those up at the office next week.

6. Parent Teacher Organization--Will have a table on C Hall and in our Office Lobby.

7. School Improvement Council--Will have a table on the Bridge above the cafeteria.

8. Transportation--Will have a table on the Bridge above the cafeteria.

9. Food Service--Will have a table on the Bridge above the cafeteria.

10. Parks and Rec Football for Cherry Park--Will have a table on the Bridge above the cafeteria.

11. Nurse Love--Will be in her office on A Hall across from the Music Room.

12. Main Office--Will be available to help with any other questions you may have.

We will have volunteers from City Hope Church who will help you know where to go. Translators will also be available throughout the building to help as needed.

We hope you will come and get all questions answered and help prepare your child and your family for a great year. See you tomorrow night.

Mr. Maness, Principal

Dear Rock Hill Schools Family,

Transportation and technology forms are now available through Parent Portal.

If you haven’t verified that your student will be returning to Rock Hill Schools, do that first. Then, sign up for Parent Portal where you will find your technology and transportation forms (see attached image to navigate to the forms in Parent Portal).

If you are having issues logging in, contact your school’s SIS clerk.

Requests for transportation are due by 5 p.m. on Aug. 11 to ensure service on the first day of school. We cannot guarantee immediate service for any requests received after Aug. 11 as we will have to place those students on an existing route and it will take a few days to process these additions.

2023-24 Verification Process for STUDENT NAME

You will need to complete the process separately for each student in your household.

First, go to our website to verify your child will be a returning student: https://bit.ly/RHSVerify

Log in using your student's information:

Username:
Password:

Please note, it’s important for you to double check your contact e-mail address and phone number as you enter it as these are the ways the district will communicate with you in this school year.
