Freshman & New Student Open House
Parent/Teacher Conferences
Parent Teacher Conferences are currently postponed and will not be held on October 7th as originally planned at the beginning of the school year. Once a day is determined and details are finalized, communication will be sent to our families. Thank you for your patience.
Return to In-Person Instruction
As Rochester Community Schools begins to welcome students and staff back to the buildings, a hybrid structure will be utilized to decrease the density by approximately 50 percent in each school. Students will be divided into two cohort groups, A and B, with one cohort attending school in-person each day and the other cohort learning asynchronously at home. Synchronous remote learning will take place on Wednesdays for all students in both cohorts. A full day of in-person instruction will appear 45 minutes shorter so teachers have time to connect with the cohort learning at home. Information about cohort groups and transportation will be provided next week. We anticipate cohorts being grouped alphabetically.
- Oct. 5 Some students enrolled in special education programs attend half day Oct. 5-9. These include programs for Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Cognitive Impairments (CI), Severe Multiple Impairments (SXI), Emotional Impairments (EI), and Adult Transition Programs and Services (ATPS).
- Oct. 14 Only high school seniors attend for SAT testing.
- Oct. 19 All high school students attend by cohort.
- There will be no changes for those students enrolled in the RCS Virtual Campus.
- Early childhood special education sessions will be scheduled by the teacher.
Cohort groups were released this week. You can find your cohort group by logging into ParentVue, click on Student Info and scroll down. If you have any questions, please contact Rcsvuehelp@rochester.k12.mi.us |

Remote Learning Overview
During the first weeks of school, students can expect to meet their teachers and classmates online, complete tutorials and guided sessions to introduce remote and virtual learning, and begin establishing class routines and expectations. Student attendance will be taken each day. Classes will include a live video meeting (Zoom/Google Meet) each day in which attendance will be taken and recorded by the teacher. The camera should be turned on in the beginning of the virtual meeting for attendance purposes. Parents are still responsible for reporting their child’s absence through our attendance line (248) 726-5410 or through ParentVUE.
ParentVUE and StudentVUE Logins

RCS Social-Emotional Resources for Families and Students
Families are invited to take advantage of the student wellness resources that have been compiled in a new website, developed specifically for the RCS community by our RCS teams. This valuable collection of tools provides crisis contacts, family activity ideas, parent resources, book recommendations, coping strategies, and contact information for the counselors and professionals in each school.
The social-emotional resource site can be accessed from the RCS webpage at www.rochester.k12.mi.us or you may go to: https://rcssocialemotionalresources.weebly.com/.
Our educators and support staff will use these tools throughout the school year to develop personal connections and foster students’ social-emotional awareness and sense of belonging. When educators aim to understand the experiences and backgrounds of their students, they can develop an appreciation for their students’ cultural identities and build authentic relationships. This creates a culture that promotes acceptance and trust, which can positively influence academic and social-emotional outcomes.
