Our hearts are heavy this morning after receiving news of the death of longtime English teacher Dallas Allen. Mr. Allen was a dedicated teacher and will be greatly missed around campus and in the community. We also understand this news is very difficult for all of us to accept and that we will need to support each other during the grieving process.   Students, we want you to know that your teachers and administrators are here to help you in any way that we can.   We have also set up our counseling staff in the media center to assist any students who may want or need to talk with someone about how they are feeling.  

Thanks to Admiral Mike Klein, retired Naval submarine commander who came to speak to our Chaloner students today. He brought us a presentation on how what we are studying in science: energy, waves, radiation, and chemistry is applied to the real world. #kidsareourcustomers #RRGSDCommunity

Parent Alert: Roanoke Rapids Graded School District is working with Roanoke Rapids Police after a student acted suspicious this morning near Chaloner Middle School's campus.  The underage student reportedly placed a gun in some bushes in a nearby park prior to coming to campus.  A neighbor called Roanoke Rapids Police who in turn alerted our staff.  The gun was never on our campus.   As always safety is our priority.   “We believe good communication between our students, parents, staff, and law enforcement is one of the best tools to keep our schools safe which is why we are being transparent and making the community aware of situations like this even though there was no apparent thereat,” said Dain Butler, Superintendent.  “We appreciate our school neighbors being alert and the quick response by the police and our staff.”  The matter has been turned over Roanoke Rapids Police for full investigation.  

Roanoke Rapids Early College received recognition from The Sons of the American Revolution for showing its patriotism by displaying The American Flag. #KidsAreOurCustomers
