Rome City Schools has continued to work closely with state and local officials as we monitor the impact of Hurricane Helene. At this time, we are planning to have normal operations on Thursday. This includes after-school activities on Thursday unless otherwise noted. Based on the latest information, school operations will be affected on Friday, Sept. 27. In alignment with our Keeping Schools Safe Initiative, Friday will be an Independent Learning Day for all of Rome City Schools. Students and staff don't report to school. They will work from home. There will be no after-school activities on Friday. Please stay safe and remain weather aware during this time. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding as we prioritize the safety of our students and staff.

5th graders in Mrs. T. Davis's science classes observed the effects of constructive and destructive processes. Students traveled to stations learning about weathering, erosion, and deposition. Every class had AMAZING conversations, showed team work, and had FUN learning!
Reminder… Tomorrow is the last day to order Sweetfrogs for this Friday, September 20. Please return the order forms with payment tomorrow.
Mrs. Reyes' 3rd grade students listened to the story The Man Who Walked Between the Towers to learn about the trait-bravery. After, they spoke about the brave heroes who risked their lives to help others during the events of 9/11.
Next, the class wrapped up unit 1 in Reading with an opinion writing-publishing picnic based on the themes found in The Wind In the Willows. Students worked hard to plan, revise, edit, and publish their writing.
Student attendance at school is crucial for success!
