Rocky Run News and Updates: November 20, 2018

A note from Dr. Goodloe:

Dear Rocky Run Families:

Over the past two weeks we have been focusing on the P2 character strength of Gratitude. Gratitude is the quality of feeling and expressing thankfulness and appreciation. It is an affirmation that there is goodness in other people and the world, and that we have received that goodness. 

I am grateful for the abundant goodness that I have the privilege of experiencing at Rocky Run MS each and every day.  It is a pleasure being a part of this vibrant teaching and learning community and serving the students, staff and community.  Thank you for sharing your wonderful children with us and serving as partners as our students learn and grow.

Thank a Ram:

Is there someone on the Rocky Run staff you would like to thank?  Has a teacher, staff or community member made a difference in your life?  Please take a moment to share your gratitude and Thank and Ram.  

Please use this form to recognize someone in the Rocky Run MS community (staff, student, or community member) that you are thankful for and why. We encourage you to share on social media as well: #ThankARAM

Wishing you and your families a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and break from school. I look forward to welcoming our students back to school on Monday, November 26.  

I welcome your feedback, questions, and suggestions.  Please feel free to reach out to me at anytime.  I hope to see you at Rocky Run MS very soon.

Sincerely,

Amy T. Goodloe, Ed.D

Traffic Safety Reminders

The safety of our students, staff and community members is our priority.    Please note the following as you access the RRMS driveway and parking lot.

  • Follow all traffic signs and directions of school staff when accessing Kiss and Ride during arrival, dismissal and After School programs.
  • No LEFT turns are permitted into the school parking lot from Poplar Tree Road at any time.  Signs are posted and you may be ticketed.
  • Please do not block the driveway to RRMS during after school pick up.  Form a single line of traffic or park in the parking lot when picking up your child from After School activities


Under Construction: Renovation News

  • The new stage doors are in and final adjustments to the gym skylights are being made
  • Progress continues to be made on the new addition. The second floor walls are going up!  Soon you should see the new brick facade going up as well.

Air Quality:  During construction, questions about indoor air quality arise. The most recent air quality tests at the beginning of November met or exceeded all standards. The air quality inside the building is monitored at least once per month.  Please visit the Rocky Run website to review FAQs related to indoor air quality.

If you have specific questions about the renovation, please email them to Administrative Assistant, AJ Ries, ajries@fcps.edu or call the Rocky Run MS main office at 703-802-7700.  

We will post updates, pictures, timelines, etc on this page on our website. This page will also be linked as a static announcement on our homepage as we move through the renovation process.
