RMS Parents...... As you are well aware, the backroads and individual driveways continue to be an issue for safe transportation within our district. Honestly, it doesn’t look to improve before the weekend. Plus the morning temperatures will be bitter cold. Rocky Mountain School will be distance learning for Thursday, February 18th and Friday, February 19th. Students should log in and complete lessons assigned for both days. We will return to in-person learning Monday, February 22nd. Stay safe and warm.

Correction RMS parents...... Due to weather, backroad conditions, and temperatures, RMS will transition to Distance Learning for Wednesday, February 17th. Students will log in and complete assignments that are listed on their tablets or laptops. Students/parents can message teachers with any questions. You may also contact me on my cell at 918-797-0318 if you need help with anything. We will continue to monitor the conditions each day and make a decision accordingly. Stay warm and safe!

5th - 8th parents...... Our school is pleased to partner with the American Indian Resource Center (AIRC) through the Native ACE grant.
