RMS parents......(shortened version of the call)
1. As you know, school is closed for the next 2 weeks. I , along with a few staff volunteers, will be at school each day from 8-1. There will be very limited staff. If you call and don’t receive an answer, please call again. Or, as always, you may call or text me at 918-797-0318.
2. Things for your kids to do the next 2 weeks.....read, do some math, work on math facts, write about their day, play outside, utilize free on- line tutorials, websites and apps
3. Free grab and go meals each day from 10-12. Please bring your kids. We are working through the state and get reimbursed just like a normal school day. We will be taking precautions to make sure families and staff volunteers remain safe during this process. Students must be in the car during pick up. Students receiving delivery must be visible at the door once we arrive.
In order to be in compliance with CDC guidelines, the Rocky Mountain School Fitness Center will be closed until further notice.
Physical exercise is important to a healthy lifestyle. Please feel free to continue using our outdoor track, while following the social distancing protocols.
Thank you for your understanding.
RMS will be serving free “grab and go” meals to any student age 18 and under beginning March 23rd.
Meals will be served at school through the bus parking lane or if you live in our district and need delivery, we can do so through arrangements. Serving time will be from 10:00 AM-12:00 PM, Monday through Friday of each week. Students will receive both breakfast and lunch. Students must be in the vehicle at time of pick up or at home at time of delivery.
In order to better serve you, we are asking you to complete an online survey posted on our website, Facebook or at the end of this message. This is basic information that helps us to plan in this process.
If you live closer to one of the other schools that are having meal distribution, you may pick up there instead. This is a state-wide effort to make sure students have the necessary food during this time of hardship.
If you do not have internet and cannot access the survey link, please call or text me at 918-797-0318.
Completing this survey is not a requirement in order to receive a meal. It will simply assist us in better serving you.
I hope each of you are staying safe and healthy.

RMS staff and parents,
As many of you are aware, State Superintendent Hofmeister called an emergency board meeting this afternoon of the state board of education. The state board just voted to cease school and school activities for all public schools in the state of Oklahoma until April 6th.
In the next few days, I will be giving you additional information concerning such items as meals for students, community supports, and guidance on continuing your child’s learning during this time.
I appreciate the continued support of Rocky Mountain school. We are blessed with a wonderful community.
If you have any questions or concerns, you may reach out to me personally by texting or calling my cell phone, 918-797-0318.
May God bless each of us during this time.
RMS parents and community.........Due to the warm temperatures, they are cancelling the blood drive for the remainder of the evening. Thank you for your understanding.
