virtual parent teacher conference sign up

The fall parent-teacher conferences are scheduled as follows:
•   High School – Virtually October 14 (5:00-8:00pm)
•   Middle School – Virtually October 15 (5:00-8:00pm)

Please click here to visit our website for instructions on scheduling your conferences. We are asking parents who are planning to attend conferences to schedule five-minute time slots with the teachers with whom they would like to speak. If a parent or guardian does not have any concerns or questions for their child’s teacher, they do not need to feel obligated to schedule appointments during that time.
 
Families can sign up for a conference until 11am on October 14th. If parents are planning to see multiple teachers, we recommend leaving 5-10 minutes between scheduled appointments to join the next meeting.
 
In order to schedule appointments, it is important for parents to be able to successfully login to ParentVUE. You may use either the ParentVUE mobile app or visit https://rcsvue.rochester.k12.mi.us
 
If a parent is having difficulties with their ParentVUE login, they can email ParentVUE support at [email protected]

The PSAT/NMSQT is administered to 11th grade students throughout the State of Michigan each year during the fall. For Rochester Community Schools, testing will take place on Wednesday, October 14th.  The PSAT is a practice test for the SAT.  The NMSQT, or National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, helps prepare students for the SAT and enters qualifying students into the National Merit Scholarship Program.  11th grade students take the SAT in the spring.
 
Below is information for the late arrival procedures for all other high school students (9th, 10th and 12th grade).

  • All students should report to the cafeteria as soon as they arrive on campus.  Lunch will be available beginning  at 11:15.  Students will remain in the cafeteria until class begins at 11:50

Anyone attending an athletic event needs to buy their tickets on GoFan. Ticket packages are available on the site.

ATHLETIC REMINDERS:
  • Please purchase your tickets early on ​GoFan. This is the only way for you to pay for your ticket into the game. We do not accept cash.
  • If you have a middle schooler or elementary schooler that would like to attend the game, they must be accompanied by a parent.
  • You can not enter the stadium with any kind of container (i.e. water bottles, Yeti cups, disposable coffee cups, etc.). You will be asked to throw it away before entering the stadium.
  • Bags will not be permitted into the stadium. The exception would be diaper bags or medical bags.

parking pass

Any students who will be parking at SCHS must have a parking pass. If you attend OSTC, you can purchase the OSTC parking pass and use it at Stoney Creek as well.
Purchase a parking pass
Students must fill out the parking pass application using their school gmail account

Students attending OSTC and driving themselves must fill out the parking pass application and can purchase the OSTC parking pass, which we will honor in the SCHS parking lots.

pick up/drop off procedure

As a reminder, at the end of the school day students must be picked up in the parent loop on the south end of the school off Tienken Road.  Make sure to pull all of the way up to keep traffic moving. If the student can not be picked up in the loop, please park in a parking spot in the lots by the auditorium or the pool.  Please do not pick students up on the north end of school.  The loop is reserved for busses and authorized vehicles with permits only.

safety and security

SAFETY AND SECURITY IS A TOP PRIORITY!
 
The safety and security of all students and staff at Stoney Creek is always a top priority. To help us in these efforts, please see the information below:
  • Students can enter through 3 entrances: the Main Doors, the Athletics Doors, and the Auditorium Doors.
  • Campus will remain closed throughout the school day. All grades will have lunch on campus.  
  • Students are NOT to utilize fast food delivery services. For example, DoorDash, Grub Hub, Instacart, or Uber Eats, etc. for food delivery.
  • If students are traveling to other campuses throughout the day, they are asked to check out of SCHS in the Attendance Office and check back in when they return.
  • Students are encouraged to utilize their assigned lockers to minimize their belongings in the classroom.

If you see something, say something. Please report all safety and security concerns to the Main Office Staff or to Officer Drehmer.

school meals

We are excited to be able to offer free breakfast and lunch again this school year to all RCS students on school days.
If you added money to your student’s account and would like a refund, please follow these steps:
  1. Send an email to [email protected] and copy [email protected]. 
  2. Include your student(s) first and last name(s).
  3. Provide a short description of why you are seeking the refund.
  4. Indicate the name of who the check should be made payable to. It cannot be a student.
  5. Provide the address where the check should be sent.
  6. If you have auto fill on your student(s) account in MySchoolBucks, you will need to turn it off.
The district will mail the check. Please allow 6-8 weeks for full processing. 
If you plan to purchase breakfast/lunch items that do not qualify for the free portion, you can add money to your student's My School Bucks account.
Rochester Community School operates its meal program using Point of Sale Computers (POS). Our computers are capable of tracking all pre-paid lunch sales. In addition, you may view a detailed account of what meals or snack your child has purchased and your account balance by creating an account on https://www.myschoolbucks.com . This is a free service for the convenience of our parents. If you child receives free or reduced price meals, rest assured they will not be identified in front of others.
If your student qualifies for free/reduced lunch, students are required to enroll yearly. You can apply by clicking here.
