Welcome to Roth Junior High School! Below you will find a list of frequently asked questions that are designed to help you learn more about our school. Please feel free to call the main office at 359-5100 for additional information. We’re happy to help!
Appropriate Dress
At Roth Junior High School, we want all students to present themselves with a positive image every day. Our expectations regarding appropriate dress, together with strong parent support, foster a learning environment that supports academic achievement. Please review page 7 of the Code of Conduct for a comprehensive definition of dress code expectations. You may access the document by going to www.rhnet.org/codeofconduct and scrolling to the bottom of the page.
Some examples of unacceptable clothing are: halter tops, tube tops, sagging pants that fall below the hipline, spaghetti straps, see-through garments, plunging necklines, clothing that is too tight or contains vulgar, obscene, or offensive material, and short skirts or shorts. The acceptable length for shorts, skirts, or dresses is as follows: with your arms relaxed at your sides, your clothing should be no shorter than your finger-tips. Students must wear shoes at all times and underwear must not be exposed. Hats and other headgear are not to be worn during the school day unless worn for religious or medical purposes. Students wearing something unacceptable will be required to remove, cover or replace the article(s) of clothing. Repeated offenses will be considered insubordination and subject to the Code of Conduct.
Items not permitted and/or not allowed to use in School
Among the items that students should never have in possession (on their person or in a locker) are: weapons, drugs, alcohol, medication, laser pointers, squirt guns, pocket knives, and chains. The identification of any of the above items may subject the student to the terms and conditions of the code of conduct. In addition, the item will be confiscated and can only be reclaimed by a parent or guardian. Parents should review the RH Code of Conduct carefully with their children to be well aware of the entire list of non-permitted items within the code of conduct.
Cell Phones / Phone Calls and Electronic Devices
At our school, we recognize the importance of technology in enhancing student learning, and to support this, each student has been provided with a Chromebook. While we understand that many families allow students to bring personal cell phones to school, we ask that these phones remain off and away during the day to minimize distractions. We all need to collaborate and ensure that the message about technology use is consistent. Please avoid contacting your student during the school day unless there is an emergency.
If a student needs to make a phone call, they may do so in the main office using their personal device. If a student does not have a cell phone, the office secretary will assist them in making the call and relaying any important messages. We remain focused on promoting responsible use of technology, ensuring that it enhances learning rather than becoming a distraction. In support of a productive and focused learning environment, we have set clear guidelines for the use of personal electronic devices. These expectations are designed to foster engagement, minimize distractions, and help students maintain a balanced approach to technology in their academic life.
To uphold this vision, all students must store their phones in lockers at the start of each school day, with brief opportunities to check them between classes while ensuring timely arrival to their next class. If a phone is found during class, teachers will designate a secure area for its storage, and parents will be informed. Additionally, personal devices such as iPads, tablets, and video game consoles are not allowed during school hours, and headphones or earbuds may only be used with teacher permission and with district-provided equipment. We are committed to ensuring that technology serves as a tool for learning, not a distraction from it.
Home/School Communication
Information from the principal’s office is sent out in a weekly E-News. The superintendent also sends regular E-News communication. The email address on file in SchoolTool is used to send these messages, so please contact the main office if you need to update your address.
SchoolTool
This portal allows parents and students to view academic progress throughout the marking period for each course. Parents/guardians who have never used SchoolTool will receive information with a log-in ID in early August. Students will receive their log-in information during the first week of school. Parents/guardians who have used SchoolTool in the past and have forgotten their log-in information may obtain it by contacting Mrs. DeJac in the Roth Counseling Office, 359-5124.
