Hello, Rams! Due to a water main break in Rockdale, we are currently without water at the school. Because of this issue, we will be using an emergency day at Rockdale School. There will be NO school today. We will not be utilizing an e-learning day, so there are no expectations for students to sign into their computer today to complete any work at home. We will keep you updated on next steps for tomorrow, December 19th. Thank you for your cooperation and swift attention to this matter. If you have any questions, please email Ms. Darlin or Dr. Merritt directly. There will not be anybody in the office to answer the phone.Enjoy your day!
