Due to the pending snowstorm, the Rockland Public Schools, including Rockland Pre School, will have a Remote Snow Day tomorrow, Thursday, December 17th. Baring a loss of power or some other weather-related situation, all students are expected to log in to learn remotely. Attendance will be taken. Each building principal has already communicated the learning schedule for the day. Please reach out to your principal with any questions. Thank you and be safe.
In anticipation of the snowstorm this Thursday, double lunches and breakfasts will be distributed tomorrow, Wednesday, December 16th, at the high school pick-up site.
Lunches will not be distributed on Thursday.
Rockland Public Schools value the school community's feedback on our PreK-12 Remote and Hybrid Learning Models. Please take a few minutes to share your experience with us by completing the following brief survey.

For the health and safety of all students, faculty, staff, and families, as recommended by the Rockland Board of Health, the Rockland Public Schools will transition to full remote learning effective Monday, December 14, 2020 and remain fully remote through December 22, 2020.
Remote learning will continue until winter break begins on December 23rd. Our hybrid model including in-person classes will resume on Monday, January 4th with Cohort “B” being in school and cohort “A” learning remotely. Please note this important calendar change, as cohort A was originally scheduled to return on the 4th.
