College Application or Personal Statement Questions?
Ask Mrs. Schrems!
Any junior looking for guidance with writing their college application essay/personal statement can contact Mrs. Schrems at jschrems@rochester.k12.mi.us from now until the end of August. She is able to brainstorm ideas with you over zoom, read/edit drafts and work with you until you have a finished product you are proud of!
Food Service Update
Beginning in April, families were able to sign up for assistance with meals for their student(s) due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As the school year comes to an end, Chartwells will continue to distribute those meals through the month of June. The last day for distribution will be Monday, June 29.
If families no longer require meals, we ask that they email focfoodservice@rochester.k12.mi.us, and provide the family name, number of students, and the location that was designated for pick up.
Please note that Blessings in a Backpack will continue through the summer months. If you are interested in signing up for that program and are qualified for free or reduced meals, please email Sharon Ahearn at sahearn@rochester.k12.mi.us and let her know the number of students and their name. If you are currently receiving Blessings in a Backpack, there is no need to sign-up again.
Thank you and have a wonderful summer.

School Physical Update
In light of Covid-19, Rochester Community Schools (RCS) has canceled the physical nights usually held in mid-June at the high schools. The Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA) also has adjusted its standard requirement for school athletics pre-participation physicals for 2020-21.
RCS student-athletes who had a sports physical done for 2019-20 (dated on or after April 15, 2019) that is on file with their building athletic office must complete the MHSAA’s Health Questionnaire form for 2020-21 to become eligible to practice. This new form, as well as a list of FAQs, is available on the RCS District website, www.rochester.k12.mi.us, under the Athletics tab (scroll down to “Forms”).
Once RCS students submit the new Health Questionnaire to their coach or building athletic director, it will serve as their valid physical exam for the entire 2020-21 school year. Students who don’t have a physical on file for 2019-20 and need a new physical exam for 2020-21 should use the regular MHSAA Physical Form, which also is available on the RCS website under “Athletics.”
Physicals for eighth graders that were on file at the RCS middle schools will be forwarded this summer to the athletic director at the corresponding high school. More information will be available once the status of Athletics for the 2020-21 school year has been determined. Please email Amy Ritt at aritt@rochester.k12.mi.us with questions. Thank you!
