The School Climate Survey for Rawlinson Road is now open. As a valued stakeholder in our school community, your input is essential. This survey provides actionable feedback on home-school relationships and will remain open through April 4, 2025. You can access it through your Parent Portal account. If you have multiple children at Rawlinson Road, you will receive a separate survey link for each student associated with your parent/guardian account. If you have questions and/or need assistance accessing the survey, please contact the main office at 803.981.1500. Thank you for your continuing support of Rawlinson Road Middle School.

The UP2 class used their "following instruction skills" to make waffles. Students could select bananas, strawberries, grapes, chocolate chips, whipped cream and syrup to put on top of their waffle.

Shout out to all Raiders and their families who came out to March Madness Math Family Fun Night. Congratulations to the winner of the prize basket worth $100!

Raiders LOVE ice cream!!

Parent Overnight Field Trip Letter March 11, 2025

Attention rising 7th grade parents

In accordance with South Carolina Code of Laws and State Regulation, a Tdap vaccine is required for all seventh graders in South Carolina. The Tdap vaccine is a booster that protects against three serious diseases: tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough). Please plan accordingly to have your child’s TDAP vaccine by the first day of next school year.

If you would like to check if your child has received the required TDAP for 7th grade, please call the school nurse at (803) 981-1527. A letter will be sent home at the end of April for any student that does not have a TDAP documented in the South Carolina immunization database.
