Have a Great Summer!

Staff waving goodbye to school buses

Staff wave goodbye to our students as they head out for the last time in the 2023-2024 school year!


A Note from the Principal

Dear Rocky Run Community-

We made it! This week, I wrapped up my first year as principal of Rocky Run Middle School and loved every minute of it! I am constantly reminded of how lucky I am serve this dynamic community. The students bring a smile to my face each morning and I marvel at their accomplishments both in and out of the classroom. The faculty and staff are unparalleled in their commitment to teaching and connecting with students. Not to be forgotten, the parent/guardian community is incredibly supportive. Thanks you to our PTA for graciously donating time and funds to help support our 7th and 8th grade end of year celebrations. Our students appreciated the extra goodies- ice cream and sun glasses for 7th graders and the 8th grade dance for our rising freshmen. I honestly cannot think of a better school in FCPS!

As we shift to summer mode, I want to remind you that Rocky Run Middle School will remain open for the summer with reduced hours of 9am to 2pm.  Please reach out to the main office to schedule appointments as needed. Also, frequently check your emails for updates throughout the summer about various events, including Rising Rams, Rams Rally, and Student Orientation.

As always, thank you for your continued partnership and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions. I look forward to seeing you at RRMS soon.

Sincerely,

Peter Kownacki
Principal

Adventure Begins at the Library This Summer! 

The Fairfax County Public Library (FCPL) understands the importance of summer reading. Reading and participating in engaging reading activities throughout the summer are two effective ways to help students retain skills they learned in school this year.

The Summer Reading Adventure kicks off on Wednesday, June 12. Join the adventure and register today


Expunging High School Credits

High school credit courses taken in grades 7 and 8 become part of the student’s high school transcript and are included in the calculation of the high school Grade Point Average (GPA). VA State and FCPS regulations permit parents/guardians to make a request to have that course expunged from the student’s record.  

Please contact your child's school counselor if you have any questions or to submit the completed Request to Expunge High School Courses Taken in Middle School Form.
