Rockcastle County Middle School Rockets

08/23/2026

🚀 Welcome Back, Rockets! 🚀

The big day is finally here! We are over the
moon to welcome our students and Staffulty back into the building tomorrow morning and officially kick off our journey in our brand-new school!
To help drop-off and pick-up go as smoothly as possible, please take a quick look at these arrival and dismissal reminders:

Parent Drop-Off (Morning): No changes here! Drop-off remains the same—use the first turn directly in front of the academy building. We ask you not to drop off students in front of the school building between the times of 7:30-8:00am as our buses will begin rolling in.

Parent Pick-Up (Afternoon): With our new parking lot layout, pick-up will run a little differently. Parents will park in the parking lot and remain parked until all buses have dismissed. As soon as the buses depart, you’ll be free to drive forward.

📍 Check out the diagram below for a clear visual!
Thank you for your patience as we all adjust to our new space. We can't wait to see those smiling faces bright and early tomorrow! Let's make it an amazing school year! ✨

Middle school goes by in the blink of an eye.

We are excited to meet our newest Rockets!

To Our New 6th Graders: Get ready to unlock your lockers, try new things, and make memories that will last forever. Middle school is full of exciting possibilities, new friendships, and big milestones. You belong here, and we can’t wait to see you shine!

To Our Parents: Take a deep breath and look at how much your child has grown. It feels like just yesterday you were holding their hand on the first day of kindergarten, and now they are walking tall into middle school. Thank you for trusting us with your hearts. We promise to encourage, guide, and care for them every step of the way.
