Now Accepting Donations!

If you’d like to donate school supplies, we’re currently in need of corded headphones/earbuds (AirPods and other Bluetooth options will not be accepted), TI-30XIIS calculators, and combination locks. Please place your donations in a box addressed to Student Services and bring to the RSMS front office during regular school hours. 

Alternatively, you may also make a one-time monetary donation to the Student Services Department,  if you’d prefer.  We can accept both cash and checks, with checks made payable to Rockwood South Middle School.  Please write “Student Services Donation” on the memo line of your check, or on the envelope if paying in cash. This will ensure proper receipt of your donation.

Thank you for your generous support of our Falcon Family!
