Rock County Public Schools would like to thank all of the students, staff, parents, and community members who have helped get us up and running with remote learning. This has been a stressful time for everyone, not just due to school buildings being closed, but also due to personal lives being affected one way or another. We have posted our Continuity of Learning Plan on the website and app for all public to see. This is the plan we are following but the plan will change over time as we figure out what will and will not work for our students, parents, and staff. During this time, our district has applied for and been accepted into a federal lunch program which allows us to serve grab and go meals to all kids ages 1 to 18 within our district free of charge to the families. These kids do not have to be students of the Rock County School District to take advantage of these free meals. This program is provided free to the people of Rock County as it is a federally funded program. If you would like to sign up, please contact Brandi at the school, 402-684-3411. Thanks again for everyone’s support as we try to keep our families and community safe through remote learning.
Schoology is having issues again today. Please be patient, and I will notify students when it is up and running again.
Attention students and parents, we have worked through some of the kinks in remote learning, but not all. We have a Continuity of Learning Plan which details some of the process while we are utilizing remote learning. It is located on our website and app for your viewing.
Free Meals for all children ages 1-18
Starting April 1-May 19, 2020 Monday-Friday
Optional, but FREE to all kids ages 1-18.
Breakfast and Lunch provided every day Monday-Friday, pick up times are 7:00-8:00 for breakfast and 11:30-12:30 for lunch (on days where the lunch isn’t a “warm” meal, you can grab lunch when you grab breakfast). Meals will be distributed from the multi-purpose room doors at the Rock County High School on the west side.
Call Rock County High School at 402-684-3411 or email Brandi at [email protected] to sign up. Sign up time is 7:00-9:00 a.m. each day. We encourage signing up for a week at a time or longer. This makes it easier for the cooks.
This is a Federally funded program. All meals served are fully reimbursed by the Federal Government so it is not a burden on our local taxpayers.
Attention Parents: We are aware that SeeSaw and Schoology are both having intermittent issues right now. Please be patient as this is out of our control, check back periodically throughout the day. With everyone moving to online learning this could be an issue.
Sophomore and Juniors check this out from NECC!!
Don't forget about breakfast and lunch available for pick up Monday, March 30 and Tuesday, March 31! Please call the school if you have any questions, or to sign up.
Also, stay tuned on Monday for some exciting news!!

The is Mr. Becker.
After consultation with the North Central District Health Department and the Nebraska Department of Education, it has been determined that Rock County Public Schools will be closed for the remainder of the 2019-20 school year. I repeat Rock County Public Schools will be closed for the remainder of the 2019-20 school year. Parents, families, and staff will be notified accordingly if things change that would affect this decision to close. This is a precautionary public health measure; at this time there are NO confirmed cases in the ESU 17 region; however, local health and school officials are monitoring the COVID-19 situation closely.
It is of the upmost importance that we ask for your assistance in supporting and encouraging strict social distancing during this time of closure. This would include encouraging students to stay home and limit their time with people from outside of their household. Keeping interactions to a bare minimum will help in disrupting the exposure period and periods of contagiousness.
What this really means is our buildings are closed but education will still take place for our students. Our school will stay in communication with you as remote learning plans for educational opportunities take place to serve the students from Rock County Public Schools. Thank you.
