We're excited to share the new LCPS and RRD Event Calendar for the 2024-2025 school year! This calendar includes important dates, events, and activities designed to enhance our students' educational experience. Please review it carefully and mark your calendars. We look forward to another fantastic year of learning and community engagement.

This is just an overview for the year. We will continue to share the important dates with times in the section above and more detailed information about events when they are closer.

There may be changes on the calendar throughout the year. We will be sure to update it and put out the changes.

RRD Event Calendar

Exciting news! LCPS has launched a new app designed to keep families connected and informed with just a tap. The app allows users to conveniently access documents, news updates and emergency notifications in one place. It’s a must-have for students, families and staff, and is available for download from the Google Play or Apple App Store (just search for “Loudoun County Public Schools”). With this mobile-responsive tool, you can receive important updates directly from your school and stay informed on the latest features. The LCPS website and app also offer a centralized feed for all division news, events and announcements, providing a reliable way to stay updated than relying on multiple social media sites.

As part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining a safe and secure environment for all students, staff, and visitors at Rolling Ridge, we ask that you please take a moment to view the LCPS Safety and Security Video. The information shared in this video is vital to ensure we are all informed and prepared to handle any potential situations that may arise.

Your support and understanding in making safety a priority for our community are greatly appreciated.

K-12 approved foodservice vendors, community partners, and SNS are uniting to sample new and exciting recipe ideas for school menus and community partners will educate on available health and wellness resources in the community.

The event titled, “Fueling Futures: Taste the Change in School Nutrition”, is primarily designed to gather student feedback on comfort foods, culturally inclusive recipes, and delicious snacks so that SNS can provide meals that students love and align with current foodservice and generational trends.

As we continue to prioritize safety for all of our students and staff, we want to remind you of some important procedures regarding arrival and dismissal:

• Tardy Students: If your student arrives after 7:30 a.m., please ensure you walk them directly into the main office.

• Early Dismissals: For the smooth flow of dismissal, please note that no early dismissals will be allowed after 2:00 p.m.

• Dismissal Protocols:

• Car Pick-Up: If you are picking up your child in a car, please use the gym side of the building. It is important that you remain in your car and follow staff directions to keep things safe and efficient for everyone.
• Walker Pick-Up: Only parents who walk from their homes (without driving) should pick up their students as walkers. For safety reasons, we discourage parking on the street and collecting your child as a walker.

Your cooperation in following these guidelines helps ensure the safety of all our students during these busy times of the day. Thank you for your continued support!

Calling Rolling Ridge Parents! The PE Department will be hosting Bring your Parent to PE week from Monday, October 7th to Friday, October 11th.

Parents will use the link below sign up for a day and a time to join alongside their child(ren) and participate in PE class, during that week we will be participating in parachute activities.

Available slots are based on when each homeroom teacher has PE during the week. Parents may only attend a PE class that their child is in, if you have multiple children at Rolling Ridge, feel free to sign up for multiple days.

Please do not bring younger children/siblings as this could pose a safety issue. Parents must follow normal check-in procedures by checking in at the main office before coming to the gym.

PE classes are 50 minutes in length, be prepared to be active and moving for the entire length of the class, you may also bring a water bottle.

We look forward to welcoming our RRD parents into the gym to participate in PE and be active alongside their children.

I want to take a moment to extend my deepest gratitude to our wonderful PTA for their incredible partnership and support during the start of this school year. From the red carpet treatment for staff arrival, to the potluck lunch in the second week of school, and your efforts in making Back to School Night a success, your dedication has truly made a difference.

The support from our PTA helps to build a welcoming and positive environment for our staff, students, and families, and I am so thankful for all you do!

I look forward to continuing this strong partnership throughout the school year as we work together to make Rolling Ridge the best it can be!
