stoney creek giving tree

Picture
It’s that time of year when the Giving Tree will soon be up and fully decorated in the senior locker bank!  Not only is the tree a sign that break is coming soon, but also a symbol of helping others in our own Stoney Creek family enjoy the holiday season. 

​Students, families, and staff are welcome to visit our sign-up genius to select your gift card options. We request that all gift cards are returned by 3pm on December 12th to the Counseling Office so we have ample time to organize the donations for our families. When students return a gift card, they will be given a paper ornament to help decorate the tree. 

If your family is in need this holiday and would benefit from our Stoney Creek Giving Tree, please fill out this confidential ​form or visit the counseling office to pick up a physical copy. 

​The requests are due back to the counseling office on December 10th. 
 
Let’s make this holiday great for every one of our Stoney Creek families!

​support the work based learning bread by the creek program!

Picture
The Stoney Creek Work Based Learning Careers class is a unique course designed to develop our student's with special needs employability and independent living skills to prepare them for adult life. Some of our students are on track to continue at the Adult Transition Program and some will transition into trade school programs like Michigan Career Technological Institute through Michigan Rehabilitative Services. In contrast, others will be ready to begin employment after graduating High School or attend further education/training.
 
Each student in this class has an IEP or Independent Education Plan working on their individualized transition goals to prepare for life after graduation. Students engage in mini-lessons focused on resume building, applying for jobs, and interviewing. We also have work-based learning opportunities for students to learn how to function in a work environment with appropriate work behaviors while meeting set work expectations during their assigned jobs. One of our work based learning opportunities is Bread by the Creek where students make sour dough bread to sell to staff in the building.
 
Our students also participate in the PAES Lab (Practical Assessment Exploration System). This is a lab that offers students the opportunity to explore their interests while also discovering their natural aptitude and strengths with 270 tasks. These 270 tasks are in the areas of Construction, Processing Production, Computers, Consumer Services, and Business. The data gathered from the tasks in the Lab guides and supports our students' transition planning and goals. 
Rochester is fortunate to have such programs and opportunities for our students and I am grateful to have the continued support of my administration and Special Education Department team. If you are interested in donating to support the work based learning students various projects and Bread by the Creek please feel free to donate at the link below. Thank you for your support.

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.

pickup/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.
