2022-2023 Yearbook
We believe that all students should have as many memories and opportunities as possible here at ROCORI Public Schools. All ROCORI Elementary students will receive a yearbook. If you would like to help offset the cost of these yearbooks for the district and our PTCs, please consider purchasing a yearbook or donating.
Also, this year we are excited to announce that all three ROCORI elementary schools will be included in the same yearbook. We were able to make this change while keeping costs the same.
When yearbook orders are sent out, there will be an option to donate funds to the school and/or pay for yearbooks.
If you have already received an email from Lifetouch, we do apologize for any confusion.
Look for a link to ordering yearbooks in future Family Bulletins.
Dress for the Weather!
Cold Weather
Please have your child dressed appropriately for the weather each day and if you are able to pack an extra set of gloves and a hat in your child's backpack each day it would be very helpful. If you need assistance with purchasing coats, hats, snow pants, boots, gloves or other cold weather gear please give me a call or email me. Thank you!
We will continue to take students outside for recess unless the following conditions occur:
-Temperature of 0 or below
-Wind chill of -10 or below
-Accumulation of rain or sleet
-Other situations that would require administrative decisions
Drop Off Time
Please remember drop off time in the morning is at 7:45. The doors are locked and we so not have staff for supervision until 7:45. If you need to drop off earlier please contact Spartan Spot! They are open at 6:00 a.m until the start of the school day. It is a wonderful and safe option for our students!

Inclement Weather - What does a Flexible Learning Day look like for an Elementary student?
In ROCORI, our elementary teachers have developed Flexible Learning Boards in case travel to school needs to be cancelled due to safety concerns. Here's what the day looks like for students at ROCORI elementary schools.
- Dr. Thein will message families via email and text as soon as safely possible to let families know if there is a Flexible Learning day.
- Elementary students should choose activities off of their flexible learning boards to complete for the day.
- Students will be marked present in school unless a family calls to say the student is ill or unable to participate in the Flexible Learning activities.
- An adult at home should sign the Flexible Learning Board and send it with their child to school the next in person learning day.
- Students have several days to complete the required activities on the board. Please work with your child's teacher if an extension is needed.
- Teachers are available from 9:00am to 2:00pm for email questions about the activities.
