Rock Nation Spirit Day is coming up on Friday, October 24th!

Join schools, businesses, and the entire community as we show our Rocket pride by wearing our favorite Rocket gear and colors. Let’s unite and celebrate what it means to be part of Rocket Nation!

Ms. Alexa and Ms. Melissa’s classes were visited by Johnny Appleseed this afternoon to finish off their Apple Week and to celebrate Fall Break! Thank you, Mr. Appleseed for visiting RES!

Mrs. Bailey’s kindergarten had such a fun and exciting Apple Day! 🍎 We described apples, labeled the parts of an apple, tasted apple cider, fried apples, and caramel apples. The class made a hypothesis to see if an apple would float or sink, and we even voted on our favorite apple treat. It was a day full of learning and delicious fun!

Rocket Habit of the Month: Be Proactive! ✨🚀

This October, we’re focusing on Habit 1: Be Proactive — taking charge of your actions, words, and choices. Instead of reacting to what happens around you, choose a positive response and focus on what you can control.

October is National Principals Month — a time to recognize the exceptional leaders who guide, inspire, and empower our schools every single day. 🚀

Our principals lead with vision and purpose, nurture growth for students and staff, and help shape the future of our Rocket Leaders. Join us in celebrating their dedication and the lasting impact they make across Rockcastle County Schools!

🚀 Starting tomorrow, we’re launching a brand-new series: Rocket Habit of the Month! 🌟

Each month, we’ll spotlight one of the 7 Habits from the Leader in Me framework — powerful principles that help students build leadership, responsibility, and strong character. These habits connect directly to our Portrait of a Rocket work, guiding learners to lead themselves, collaborate with others, and grow continuously — in school and beyond.

Stay tuned as we explore each habit and highlight the many ways our Rockets put them into action every day! 🚀💙

RES has a busy week this week! Make sure to mark your calendars for picture day and fundraiser due date.

"Find your people. Find your passion." 🔍❤️ Club Day at RES!🦅 Thank you to all the staff and students who helped make this a Fantastic day for our students!

The Portrait of a Rocket continues to guide our work at Rockcastle County Schools, showing how every student can learn, lead, and soar. Rooted in The Leader in Me framework and aligned with Kentucky’s Portrait of a Learner, it reflects the qualities we aim to build in all Rockets—resilience, responsibility, communication, collaboration, innovation, and critical thinking. 🚀

This is the heart of our vision: guiding Rocket Learners to Rocket Leaders. 🌟
