Roxboro Community School

We have a busy and exciting evening tomorrow with our Middle School Open House and a home volleyball game happening at the same time! To help with traffic flow and make parking easier for everyone, we are asking that you please follow the parking plan below:

Middle School Open House Families: Please park in the staff parking lot in front of the school.
Volleyball Game Attendees: Please park in the Woody parking lot.

We appreciate everyone helping us keep traffic moving and making sure our families and guests can get where they need to be as easily as possible.

We are doing our 7th and 8th Grade Open House a little differently this year. It will be a floating event, meaning there is no specific arrival time or formal group presentation. Both 7th and 8th grade families may arrive anytime between 5:00 and 7:30 p.m. and visit your child's teachers in their classrooms.

During your visit, you will have an opportunity to meet teachers, visit classrooms, learn about expectations for the year, ask questions, and help your child become more familiar with RCS before the first day of school.

Come when it works best for your family and stay for the amount of time you need. We hope this format makes open house more convenient, personal, and welcoming for everyone.

We hope to see you there tomorrow, August 11!
