A note from Dr. Goodloe:
Dear Rocky Run Families,
I hope that you have been enjoying the summer and some time for rest, relaxation and fun. The RRMS staff is busy planning for the opening of the 19-20 school year, just a little over a month from now. We have been hiring new staff, preparing our new classrooms for student and staff return, and navigating the renovation. Please visit the RRMS website frequently for updates and news.
Congratulations and Farewell:
We are excited to congratulate RRMS Assistant Principal Peter Kownacki who has been named as the new Principal of South County Middle School effective July 22, 2019. We are grateful for Peter's leadership at Rocky Run and know he will make a tremendous, positive impact at his new school.
I welcome your feedback, questions and suggestions. Please feel free to reach out to me at any time. I hope to see you at Rocky Run very soon.
Sincerely,
Amy T. Goodloe, Ed.D

Once students get to Rocky Run, they will follow their schedules, meet teachers and have an opportunity to practice opening their lockers.
