Good morning - Today Roxbury Central School had an evacuation due to a fire alarm activation. We followed our emergency protocol, and, due to the cold weather, all students and staff members exited the building, were accounted for, and then walked to the Carriage House. Once emergency services cleared the building, busses were brought in to take students and staff members back to the building, where classes resumed. Please contact the school if you have any questions.

Phones & Headphone Reminder

Our school is required to enforce a bell-to-bell ban on internet-enabled devices in compliance with New York State law. We are seeing an increase in students using cell phones and Bluetooth headphones during school hours. As we begin the second half of the school year, we are sending out this reminder.

Should a student use an internet-enabled device (e.g. cell phone, smart watch or bluetooth head phones), these are the consequences.
- For a first offense, students will receive a warning.

- For the second offense, the device will be stored in the main office and the student will serve an after-school detention.
- For the third offense, the device will be stored in the main office, the student will serve an after-school detention, and a parent/guardian must pick up the device.

Students are welcome to store their internet-enabled devices in the main office tech tubs, if they wish. These are kept secure all day long.

Thank you for your continued support in helping us maintain a focused and respectful learning environment.

🏊‍♀️ Making Waves in Elementary! 🏊‍♂️

Our Elementary Swim Program is making a splash by giving students the opportunity to learn all things swimming with the Catskill Recreation Center! From water safety and basic skills to building confidence in the pool, this program helps our young learners grow stronger, safer, and more confident in the water.

The instructors also include important real-world learning, such as water safety. In one session, students even learned about frozen ❄️ water and how to stay safe around icy lakes and ponds. A perfect blend of fitness, safety, and learning!

We love seeing our students try something new, support one another, and have fun while learning an important life skill. Way to go, future swimmers! 💙🌊

🏗️📣 Looking Ahead: Potential 2027 Capital Project 📣🏗️
Community voices matter! We want to share the RCS Building Condition Survey with you and discuss priority areas of a potential future Capital Project.

🤝 Building Condition Survey and Future Capital Project Community Discussion
📅 February 11, 2026 at RCS
⏰ 6:00 PM – Community welcome!


In 2025, RCS’s architectural team conducted a Building Condition Survey (BCS). This process identified areas, inside and outside the building, that need some attention. School districts use BCS findings to design future Capital Projects.

At our Community Discussion on 2/11, we will:
-Share information about current building conditions,
-Review areas inside and outside our facilities that were identified as needing attention; and
-Discuss the scope of a potential future capital project, hopefully in 2027.


We seek community input to help prioritize needs and guide our options moving forward for a future potential Capital Project. We hope you’ll join the conversation and be part of the planning process.🏫✨
