School Payments Due on MySchoolBucks

Pay online for your scholar's activity fees, campus items & more with MySchoolBucks.

Remember, payments must be made toward your required Activity Fees on MySchoolBucks. Scholars cannot participate in extracurricular activities if fees have not been paid. We hold fundraisers throughout the school year to help offset costs, so please be on the lookout for information about our upcoming fundraiser later this month.

If you have ordered a spirit shirt and haven't received it, please email JGooden@rhodesschool.org with your scholar's name and shirt size.

Gifted and Talented Education Services

A general information meeting about the district’s G/T services and an overview of the characteristics of gifted and talented students will be held during the next School Board meeting on September 16th, at 6 PM in the administration building.

Attendance FUN

Please make sure that your child attends school daily. It is imperative to their academic success and growth in school.

Scholars with no absences or no more than two tardies in the month of September will enjoy Sundae Funday on September 30th!

Keep it up, and scholars who miss only one day of school or less from September 4th to December 18th can participate in the 2nd Annual SNOW Day Perfect Attendance Party this December! Tap the flyer to see last year's SNOW Day recap!

Remember, students who miss 10 or more school days may receive an attendance behavior contract and could be subject to compulsory attendance laws. Also, 3 tardies are equivalent to one absence.
