Southwestern Randolph Middle School

🚍 RCSS is planning for the 2026-2027 school year! Make sure your child's transportation request is on file!

If your student will need bus transportation at the beginning of the school year and you're unsure whether a request has been submitted, please contact your child's school as soon as possible.

🎒 Families registering new Kindergarten students should also complete transportation requests early. Waiting until the last minute to register may delay bus service at the start of school.

📅 Transportation requests must be submitted by July 31, 2026 for students to ride the bus during the first two weeks of school. Requests received after July 31 will not be eligible for bus service until after Labor Day.

Don't wait—plan ahead to ensure a smooth start to the school year!

End of Year Award Assemblies for 6th, 7th and 8th Grades

The Randolph County School System is in the continuous accreditation process through Cognia, and parent feedback is an important part of this work!

Our Stakeholder Survey is now open through May 24, 2026. Parents can complete the survey using the link on the district website or their child’s school webpage. If you have children at more than one school, please complete a survey for each school. Click here: https://eprovesurveys.advanc-ed.org/surveys/#/action/304576/p2461

This process is a valuable opportunity for our school system to learn, grow, and continue improving for our students, staff, and families. Thank you for partnering with us and helping shape the future of RCSS!

RCSS School Nutrition has been busy serving up Farm-to-School NC strawberries from Cottle Farms and Seven Springs 🍓 We've also taste tested crispy chicken taquitos and tropical trio popsicles with students at RMS and SWRMS 🌮🍧New items must pass student taste testing to be added to our menus! #RCSScafereinvented #fillyourtray

Students at SWRMS taste tested scratch made crispy chicken taquitos. The pass rate was almost 90% and it received the "Crider" seal of approval. Look for crispy chicken taquitos served with salsa, queso, street corn, pinto beans, salad, and all the fixin's on next year's menus!

💜Wednesday, April 15th is National "Purple Up For Military Kids Day."💜 Wear purple to support our military-connected students. This is a day that recognizes the strength, resilience, and sacrifices of military kids. Military-connected kids are typically identified as having a parent/guardian or sibling who is a veteran that has served previously, currently serves on a base, or currently serves in the Army National Guard, Air National Guard and Reserves. Why purple? The color purple is the chosen color because when you mix the colors of all of the military branches it makes purple. (Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard) According to NCDPI, in the 2024-2025 school year Randolph County School System had 1,006 military-connected students. There are currently between 100,000-110,000 military-connected students in NC schools and over 1.6 million military kids in the USA. Folks often think that military families just live on or near military bases. However, we are all over the place!!
