Justice Friedt made it all the way to the semifinals of the JV Congressional State tournament for the second time in his career! Waithira Mbuthia made it all the way to the semifinals in the Novice Congressional State tournament! Finally, Bonnia Bell and Kenny Wocken made it to the quarterfinals in the Novice Congressional State tournament! I love this team. I’m so proud of them! Go Rockets!!! 🚀 ❤️🚀❤️🚀"

You can view the Attendance Options Redesign Boundary Locator page on our website to see where the proposed boundaries would be: https://rochesterschools.org/aor-boundary-locator. Please read through the content on the page before using the boundary locator, as it explains how to best utilize the map.
Once you’ve viewed the proposed boundary, you can estimate which Transportation Zone you are in by following the instructions on our website. For reference:
Walk Zone
-> 1.25 miles from elementary school
-> 1.5 miles from middle school
-> 2 miles from high school
RPS Transportation Zone
-> Beyond the walk zone listed above to the edge of the school's boundary.
Self Transportation Zone
-> If you live anywhere outside of the school's boundary.
Disclaimer: Once boundaries are confirmed, we will accurately identify walk and transport zones within each attendance area and communicate that with families in the spring.
You can tune in to the Study Session live tomorrow at 5 p.m. via our YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@ISD535.
