Welcome New Families!

Junior Kindergarten

Between July 1 and August 3, please log into the FACTS Family Portal to verify your Family Demographics and Annual Emergency information under Web Forms.

Additionally, the state of Maryland requires that all Jr. Kindergarten students' health forms be on file by the first day of school for him/her to attend. We ask that they be in by August 3, 2026.

Summer is a great time to schedule doctor appointments for back-to-school health check-ups and have your child's pediatrician sign the forms.

Jr. Kindergarten HEALTH FORMS

K-12 Health Documents and Emergency Forms

Between July 1 and August 3, please log into the FACTS Family Portal to verify your Family Demographics and Annual Emergency information under Web Forms.

In order to administer prescriptions or even over-the-counter medication at school, the parents/guardians and your family physician must complete a consent form each school year. Over-the-counter medicines include ibuprofen, acetaminophen, bug bite cream, and even cough drops. Prescription medications include epinephrine, inhalers, or insulin or any other prescription medication that must be taken at school. 

Consider scheduling your child's doctor appointments in the summer to receive immunizations, sports physicals, and back-to-school health check-ups. Forms are due to the school August 3.

We strongly encourage permanently labeling all items your children will wear and bring to school, including all clothing, lunch bags, water bottles, instruments, Bibles, etc. Each year, literally hundreds of dollars worth of items end up in the school’s lost and found bin. Parents and students, please check lost and found bins regularly.

Helpful Tips for Special Orders i.e. longer skirt and pant lengths

• For upper school skirts: please order women's sizes, NOT girls' sizes.
• Check the Sizing & Fit link for the uniform item.  This will offer instructions on how to measure your child and better determine if your child needs a custom size.  If you need a custom length:
  • With measurements in hand, please contact the LandsEnd School Uniform Support Team at 1-800-388-3677 or email uniformcustom@landsend.com
  • The creation of a custom size will include an additional charge per item.  (+$50 Rhetoric Blazers, +$10 all other items)
  • They require approximately 8-10 weeks to fulfill any custom-length orders.
  • Lands' End will send a sample to families for measurement purposes, but this feature adds another three weeks to the process.
  • Families should consider getting their orders in by June, if you anticipate needing extra length for the beginning of the 2026-27 school year.
  • For your convenience, sizing samples are available for the school-wide pleated plaid skirt, grammar skorts, and rhetoric gray ponte pleat skirt. Contact uniformswap@rockbridge.org to make try-on arrangements.

Rockbridge Academy partners with LLC Lunch and Chick-fil-A Waugh Chapel to provide secure, fast, and easy ways for parents to order, prepay, and manage hot lunch online.

LLC Lunch ordering:

• Go to https://LLCLunch.com for step-by-step ordering instructions.
• Select if you want to place an order for a day, week, month, or the year. This will take you to the correct order form where you will place your order.
  In-school hot lunch will be offered every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of the school year. 

Chick-fil-A ordering:

• Go to https://cfawaughchapel.boonli.com/login to order.
• Chick-fil-A will deliver lunch to Rockbridge Academy every Tuesday.

Bag Lunch: Students may bring in a packed lunch instead of a pre-ordered hot lunch. 

Snacks: Most children require multiple snacks per day in addition to lunch.  Please send students with healthy snacks to meet your child’s individual hunger level throughout the day. Grammar students may eat snacks at snack time, recess, or other scheduled breaks. Upper school students may eat snacks between classes. 

Water: Adequate hydration is necessary for successful learning. Your child should bring a water bottle to school every day. The Evergreen Campus has several water bottle refill stations for students. Please LABEL ALL water bottles with the student’s name. The bottles do get carried around during the day —from class, to recess, to PE, to lunch, and back again. Students participating in athletics or After the Bell activities after school should plan to refill before practice.

Parents will be sent the 2026-2027 Rockbridge Athletics Registration form in July.  In the meantime, please register your child's interest and learn more about Rockbridge Athletics' summer practices, clinics, and camps to Athletic Director Tim Stewart at tstewart@rockbridge.org.

Skill-building practices and clinics will be ongoing throughout the summer for Rockbridge students. Come out to play and meet some friends.

All Rockbridge athletes are required to have a sports physical completed no more than 12 months before the entire sports season. Sports physicals completed this summer will be good for the entire school year!  Consider scheduling yours now with your family doctor or at a local urgent care clinic. Please email athletics@rockbridge.org if you have any questions.  

Health History and Physical Examination Form for Interscholastic Sports

As you know, one of our core values is Parental Partnership, and what makes a partnership grow into a thriving fellowship is active communication.

Please stay up with communication with the school from weekly announcements to volunteering on campus. 

• eSSENTIALS comes out on Tuesdays with weekly announcements and action items.
• Benedictio is the Rockbridge newsletter showcasing events, news, and alumni connections.

We would love to include grandparents and send them the Benedictio newsletter as well. Please send grandparents' contact information to Suz Armstrong at sarmstrong@rockbridge.org, if you didn't add them as part of enrollment.

At Rockbridge Academy, we operate In Loco Parentis, which means our teachers have been given their authority to disciple and train your child with your permission and blessing. Included in our vision statement for parents is that they enjoy the journey of their child's education and grow in knowledge of the classical Christian approach. In fulfillment of these goals, we present opportunities to equip parents along the way. Over the summer, parents can learn what other new classical Christian teachers from across the country come to learn from Rockbridge Academy staff and faculty: how to teach well and inspire the learner. 

Summer Teacher Training and Parents' Reading Groups are free to enrolled parents and serve as an insider's look at how our teachers teach and what goes on in the classroom. We encourage you to take advantage of these opportunities to learn from your child's teachers. 

Summer Teacher Training, Free for Parents July 21-24, 2026

Parents are welcome to participate in just a few talks or every session. You decide based on your own schedule and interests. However, we would still appreciate having your registration. Please reach out to Tina Thompson: 410-923-1171 EXT 1010 to register.
