A letter from Superintendent Jana Vance details information for Wednesday related to the school's memorial services for student Mason Straeter.
Rochester High School and Rochester Middle School will be closing the buildings immediately following the dismissal of school on Wednesday, August 6, so that we may honor Mason Straeter.
The letter also requests the public to please help the school honor the family by making sure all students leave their respective schools at dismissal. This will allow the parking lots to be available for family and friends attending the visitation.
Mason’s visitation will take place in the high school main gym from 3:30 pm until 8:00 pm.
The after school program at Columbia will continue on its regular schedule.
Thank you in advance for helping RCSC make this happen for the Straeter family.
