Rooks County School Districts’ Update - October 8, 2021
What are the essential elements of successful schools? According to the National School Boards Association, the six elements of success are:
Focus on the Total Child
Commitment to Equity and Access
Family and Community Engagement
Distributed Leadership
Strong, Supported Teaching Force and Staff
Relationship-Oriented School Climate
Rooks County School Districts are committed to offering elements that contribute to successful schools. We believe it is important to work together with our partners to make that happen. Please feel free to reach out to your district if you have any questions.
We currently have 10 active cases of COVID-19 in the county and 2 individuals in the hospital. Rooks County has a two-week positivity rate of 15.5 % as of 10/02/2021.

Rooks County School Districts’ Update - October 1, 2021

Rooks County School Districts have been implementing the “Test to Stay” option in the junior high and high schools this week. Each Rooks County District is able to offer testing on campus to students and staff who have been identified as a close contact. If the junior high or high school student or staff test negative, he/she may remain on campus and wear a mask for the duration of the quarantine period. Staff and students may choose to remain at home during this time as well. The schools are working with county health for testing options for elementary students.
We currently have 12 active cases of COVID-19 in the county and four individuals in the hospital. Rooks County has a two-week positivity rate of 13.4% as of 9/25/2021.
It's time for our 1st Family Engagement Night of the 2021-2022 school year! We hope to see you on Friday, October 1st. We will also host a read aloud during the halftime of the SHS Tiger football game!
