West Central Elementary went into a Code Yellow precautionary lockdown this morning due to a report in the area near the school. Police investigated and determined everything was all clear and safe for the school, staff, and students, and a Code Orange all clear was then issued. At Rome City Schools, the safety and well-being of our students, staff, visitors, and community stakeholders is our top priority.

Rome City Schools is pleased to announce that all district schools will safely reopen for face-to-face instruction on Monday, September 30, 2024. After a thorough assessment of all facilities by the RCS Crisis Management Team, all buildings are ready to welcome back students and staff. In addition to confirming the readiness of school facilities, RCS would like to inform our community that all scheduled events will continue as planned throughout the weekend. Additional information will be provided soon for any events that were canceled due to recent weather conditions.

Rome City Schools has continued to work closely with state and local officials as we monitor the impact of Hurricane Helene. At this time, we are planning to have normal operations on Thursday. This includes after-school activities on Thursday unless otherwise noted. Based on the latest information, school operations will be affected on Friday, Sept. 27. In alignment with our Keeping Schools Safe Initiative, Friday will be an Independent Learning Day for all of Rome City Schools. Students and staff don't report to school. They will work from home. There will be no after-school activities on Friday. Please stay safe and remain weather aware during this time. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding as we prioritize the safety of our students and staff.
