📚✏️ ATTENTION RALEIGH COUNTY PARENTS! 🏫🎒
School attendance is more than just showing up—it’s a step toward success, a chance to learn, and an opportunity to grow! We believe every day in class counts, and we need your help to spread the message! Let’s show our community what it means to be present and ready to learn!
We’re launching the #GetYourSelfieToSchoolRCS campaign! 🏆✨ Parents, we invite you to snap a picture of your child headed off to school in the morning and share it with Raleigh County Schools using the tag #GetYourSelfieToSchoolRCS to enter a chance to WIN an exciting prize! 🎁🙌 The pictures will be posted on the Raleigh County Schools Facebook page (limit 1 per student per day), and the contest will run through November. A winner will be chosen at random for the elementary level as well as for the middle and high school levels.
It’s simple: 📸 Take a picture of your student on their way to school. 📲 Share the photo using #GetYourSelfieToSchoolRCS. ✅
Let’s make sure EVERY student has the chance to shine this school year. Together, we can promote good attendance and celebrate our amazing students. Ready, set… #GetYourSelfieToSchoolRCS! 🏫🎉

Dear Raleigh County Schools Parents and Guardians,
On Monday, April 8, 2024, it is anticipated between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM that our region will experience a partial solar eclipse. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon moves between the sun and Earth, blocking all or a portion of the sun’s rays.
Medical professionals advise it is always dangerous to look directly at the sun without appropriate eye protection. Out of an abundance of caution, Raleigh County Schools (RCS) will be taking extra steps for your child’s safety.
•RCS will follow a regular schedule on Monday, April 8, 2024.
•All schools have been encouraged to share the solar eclipse viewing experience with students by utilizing television feeds or internet live streams.
•Resources and lessons about the solar eclipse are available from the West Virginia Department of Education, NASA, and other science outlets.
•School staff will advise students of the dangers of looking directly at the sun at any time, especially during the solar eclipse.
•Students will not be permitted outside for any activities other than those planned and approved by the principal during the hours of 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. This includes recess, athletics, band or other outdoor after school activities.
•As students are dismissed, staff will be on hand to instruct students not to look directly at the sun and to monitor as they exit the building.
The eclipse may occur during dismissal time. RCS asks parents to reinforce the dangers of looking at the sun and to remind their children not to look directly at the sun on their way home from school on Monday, April 8, 2024.
We appreciate your understanding and support during this unique learning experience and ask that you talk with your children about the eclipse prior to school on Monday, April 8.
