FACTS Family Portal Information Guide

The Rockbridge Academy uniform and grooming guidelines reflect a standard of professional learning and modesty. The dress code requirements are outlined HERE, in the Parent/Student Handbook 2024-2025 (PSH 25-26 coming in August), and on the main website. All uniform items must be purchased through Lands' End or through the uniform swap, except where noted. 

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.

Purchase online from Lands' End:

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 early June, if you anticipate needing extra length for the beginning of the 2025-26 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.

If you haven’t done so already, please log into the FACTS Family Portal to verify your Family Demographics and Annual Emergency information under Web Forms by August 4th.

Additionally, the state of Maryland requires that we have these forms on file for your child by the first day of school for him/her to attend. We ask that they be in by August 4, 2025.

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.

Rockbridge Academy has partnered 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.

***Your weekly order will be due by the Sunday of that week at 11:59am.  Parents may also order lunches in advance up through the entire school year.***

Please refer to the eSSENTIALS email for more detailed ordering instructions. 

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, or month. This will take you to the correct order form where you will place your order.
  Monthly orders receive a 2.5% discount.
• 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 2025-2026 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 in the letter from Athletic Director Tim Stewart.

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

Summer Athletics at Rockbridge Academy

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

• eSSENTIALS comes out on Tuesdays with weekly announcements and action items.
• Zipcast is a weekly 10-minute podcast on Rockbridge Academy school events, segments on classical Christian education, parenting help, common questions on education, and even a student submitted joke-of-the-day. Each segment will end with a Scripture meditation.
• 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 Michelle Rosela, our Advancement Director (mrosela@rockbridge.org), if you didn't add them as part of enrollment. 

Stay Connected

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

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.
