August 2024
Superintendent's Message
I hope that you are having a restful and enjoyable summer with your families. We are busy preparing for the 2024-2025 school year and are excited to welcome back students to the buildings on August 21.
Over the summer, our schools have continued to improve with the renovation of the kitchen at Rocky River High School, new ADA seating at the high school stadium and updates to the Makerspace area at Kensington Intermediate School. We thank the Rocky River Education Foundation for its generous support to both projects and to the West Shore Career-Technical District for its support of the Kensington Makerspace.
You can read more about district highlights and achievements in the summer newsletter that was also mailed to every home throughout the community.
This year, we will strive to build on our successes in academics, activities and athletics. Our dedicated teachers, staff, advisors and coaches continue to work hard, ensuring our students receive the best possible experiences in and out of the classroom. In addition, we will continue to place a strong emphasis on mental health and well-being with information always available online.
The RRHS and RRMS athletics teams are now part of the Cleveland West Conference (CWC), which is comprised of eight high schools and 10 middle schools in the Greater Cleveland area. The conference includes Bay Village, Buckeye, Lakewood, Normandy, North Olmsted, Rocky River, Valley Forge and Westlake and we are excited to provide student-athletes with enhanced opportunities for growth and competition within their local communities.
Thank you for your continued support of the Rocky River City School District.
Sincerely,
Michael Shoaf
Superintendent
