Parents/Guardians, we are hard at work to get our new communication tool called "Rooms" set up. "Rooms" will be a part of our Ritchie County School app. This will be how parents and students can contact teachers or coaches. School staff as well as coaching staff will also be using this as a way to send out announcements and individual messages. There will be detailed instructions posted online and coming home with students.
