We appreciate their selfless service to our nation and the positive examples they set for our students. Please join us if you can, especially if you are or have served in our United States Armed Forces, so we can say thank you.

All students, staff and guests are invited to wear red, white and blue to school for the holiday.

Connect with our Second Step SEL Curriculum

Rock ISD utilizes the Second Step program as a Social-Emotional Learning curriculum. The lessons help children learn human skills such as responsible decision-making, working together to solve problems, managing strong emotions, and getting along with others. These skills can help children succeed academically and socially. Unit 2 Lessons have begun! For each grade, there is a Home Link flyer with more information about the lesson themes and things to try at home to support this important learning.

Click the links here to access Unit 2 Home Links for your child's grade.
