Good Morning Rochester Intermediate School Students and Staff!
Today is Wednesday, January 24th, 2024
Please stand for the Pledge:
I pledge allegiance, to the flag, of the United States of America, and to the Republic, for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
And now for a moment of reflection
Happy Birthday
Yesterday to Mrs. Lauber and Mrs. Range
Bus Announcements
Bus #14, #15, #23 and #28 are double routes today.
Just a reminder that RIS double bus riders will go to the elementary campus to wait until their bus arrives.
Students who enter through the gym in the morning need to make sure they follow the large blue line. It is very wet outside and this will cut down on the mess!
If you have lunch money, please take it in the morning to the office and give it to Mrs. Lovett or Ms. Howie. Do not give it to the cafeteria staff.
Sixth Grade Swing Choir today will be only for those students who were selected
for Solo/Ensemble Contest. All other students should stay in Study Hall with your Home Room!
Today’s lunch menu includes:
Walking Tacos
Cheese Quesadilla
Chicken Tenders
Cheese or Pepperoni Pizza
Chicken Patty
Remember, “Rockets RISE Together” by demonstrating:
Responsibility
Inclusion
Safety
Empathy

Parent Pick-up:
For parent pick-up at the end of the day, we prefer the line system. All parents should remain in their vehicles and follow the pick-up line around and to the front of the building. You may also choose to park in the spots in the parking lot. It is our preference that you use the line system, however if you choose to park, please come to the front of the building and escort your student to the vehicle safely. Under no circumstances should students be walking across the parking lot unescorted. Thank you for your help with this!
Lunch Balances
The low lunch balance alerts have been reactivated for all families. You will get an alert when your lunch balance is below $5.00. If you choose to shut off the alert, you will no longer get any school announcements.
