Principal Corner

RCES Families & Friends,

First, I want to thank everyone of you for allowing me to be part of your child's education. The past year and half I feel I have grown professionally and personally. However, this school year has been very difficult for me. I have two children at home. I cannot be the principal this school needs and the parent my children deserve. Next year, I am taking a step back. I will not be the Rock Cave Elementary School principal for the 2025 – 2026 school year.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Amanda Smith

Community in Schools

According to the West Virginia Department of Education, "Every student deserves an equitable opportunity to succeed in school and fulfill their potential. And yet, in America, nearly 13 million children live in poverty and face significant barriers to earning a high school diploma. Students from low-income communities are twice as likely to drop out of school, and children of color are often disproportionately impacted by this reality."

Whether it’s hunger, homelessness, emotional trauma, or a lack of access to basic medical care, students shouldn’t have to face these challenges alone. With `gCommunities In Schools, we amplify the power of each student’s potential through an evidence-based model rooted in caring relationships."

If you feel your child needs assistance, please reach out to our CSI, LouEllen Blake. Her email is louellen.blake@k12.wv.us.
