Attendance matters — and these Rockets are leading the way! 🚀

October is National Principals Month — a time to recognize the exceptional leaders who guide, inspire, and empower our schools every single day. 🚀

Our principals lead with vision and purpose, nurture growth for students and staff, and help shape the future of our Rocket Leaders. Join us in celebrating their dedication and the lasting impact they make across Rockcastle County Schools!

🚀 Starting tomorrow, we’re launching a brand-new series: Rocket Habit of the Month! 🌟

Each month, we’ll spotlight one of the 7 Habits from the Leader in Me framework — powerful principles that help students build leadership, responsibility, and strong character. These habits connect directly to our Portrait of a Rocket work, guiding learners to lead themselves, collaborate with others, and grow continuously — in school and beyond.

Stay tuned as we explore each habit and highlight the many ways our Rockets put them into action every day! 🚀💙

🚀 Midterm is tomorrow, and midterm grades will be sent home Friday! Parents, remember you can always keep up with your student’s progress by checking grades in the Parent Portal. Stay connected and in the know! 📊✨

Picture day this Friday, September 26th! 📸

At RCMS, commitment and consistency shine! 🌟 Congrats to Wrett Craig, Blyth Baker, Bryson Miller, and Paisley Bishop for earning $25 each for perfect attendance this week, and to Ms. Ashley Ross for earning $100 through our Staff Support Initiative.

The Portrait of a Rocket continues to guide our work at Rockcastle County Schools, showing how every student can learn, lead, and soar. Rooted in The Leader in Me framework and aligned with Kentucky’s Portrait of a Learner, it reflects the qualities we aim to build in all Rockets—resilience, responsibility, communication, collaboration, innovation, and critical thinking. 🚀

This is the heart of our vision: guiding Rocket Learners to Rocket Leaders. 🌟
