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.
