Hello Roth Families and Staff,

Bedbugs were detected recently at Roth Junior High School. A student unknowingly brought the insects from home. In response, we disinfected each area of the school the student is known to regularly visit. Buses the student was transported on also were cleaned.

The district enlisted the services of a specialized dog that is trained to find and alert us to the presence of these bugs. Furniture where bed bugs were found has been quarantined. Specific areas of our building again will be treated according to standard health and safety guidelines.

Hearing this news may make you uncomfortable. However, please know there is no cause for alarm. Bedbugs are a nuisance, but are not known to spread disease. If you have questions, please contact me at 359-5108 or ohussain@rhnet.org, or our school nurse, Sara Littlefair, at 359-5114 or slittlefair@rhnet.org. Thank you for your understanding.
