Use of the gym that was part of the Original Rochester Primary school (now housing the school district office) is being explored. The gym was closed and off limits for years due to asbestos. Recently, the asbestos has been removed and the roof has been replaced. The district is now collecting proposals for how the Original Gym could be used.

To ensure students have access to instruction and feel successful, we are focusing on every student attending school regularly. Chronic absenteeism negatively impacts learning. Attendance is a top priority, second only to student safety.

The Rochester School District is committed to providing a safe environment for students, staff, families and visitors. Our district’s administrators coordinate our Emergency Response Plan, working closely with local, county and state emergency responders and public health officials to ensure we are well prepared!
