Fist Bump Friday with our friends from AES! These students demonstrated responsibility around the school and were chosen to join us. The Junior High and High school students were all smiles as they were greeted by these little Rockets. 👊🏻🚀.
Thanks for being part of the Rockridge family!
The dual credit speech class through Blackhawk College took a field trip to AES! The high schoolers gave speeches about being Grateful, which is this month's focus for AES's Character Strong program. Thank you, Ms. Hatchel, for helping our Big Rockets with writing and practicing their speeches. Thank you, Little Rockets, for being such great listeners and having good questions! I wish teachers, coaches, parents, family members, and friends could have heard these speeches on how thankful these kids are. They never fail to impress. #RocketsRock
Dear Parents, Guardians, and Staff,
We are writing to inform you that the Boil Order Advisory for the Junior High/High School building has been officially lifted.
All required water quality tests have been completed, and the results confirm that our water supply is safe for drinking, cooking, and all other uses.
Thank you once again for your cooperation, understanding, and patience during this required safety measure.
Sincerely,
Marcus Bush
Superintendent
Following the water main break that occurred at the new elementary construction site on Friday, we are writing to provide a necessary update regarding the water status at the Junior High and High School buildings for the start of the week.
Precautionary Boil Order
Out of an abundance of caution and in conjunction with the Rock Island County Health Department, the Junior High and High School buildings will be placed under a precautionary boil order for Monday, November 17th, and Tuesday, November 18th.
This measure is being taken to allow the necessary time for thorough testing of the water system following the repair of the main. We expect to receive clearance from the Health Department following this testing period.
School Day Operations
Please be assured that we are taking all necessary steps to ensure a safe and productive learning environment during this time:
Drinking Water: The school will provide ample bottled water for all students and staff. We also strongly encourage students to bring their own reusable water bottles filled from home to supplement the supply.
Hand Hygiene: We will provide hand sanitizer in all classrooms and common areas. We want to confirm that all restrooms and toilet facilities are fully operational and in working order.
Food Service: The lack of potable tap water may require us to make temporary changes to our breakfast and lunch menus. If any changes are necessary, we will communicate these details to you as soon as possible.
We understand that this is an inconvenience, and we sincerely apologize for this disruption to your week.
Thank you once again for your incredible patience and understanding as we work through this repair process and continue toward future progress at Rockridge. We will provide a further update on the water status Tuesday evening.
Sincerely,
Marcus Bush
Superintendent
