Work Permits

The work permit form may be printed from the NC Department of Labor website.  Follow these instructions to complete the process correctly:

• Students should complete the first section of the form to provide information about themselves:  name, address, etc.

• The employer completes the section about the job, business name and address, etc. and the employer signs the form.

• The parent or guardian signs the form.

• The student takes the form to either the Rockingham County Department of Social Services (in the Governmental Center in Wentworth) or to the Employment Security Commission office (across from Rockingham High School in Wentworth).

• The student must provide proof of age (a photo id with birth date or a birth certificate) and the student must sign the form in the presence of the issuing officer.  Do not sign the form until the issuing officer at the agency directs you to do so!

 

College Entrance Exams

The SAT is given at McMichael High School each October and May. Students may also take the exam at nearby locations in Guilford County in November, December, January, March or June. The College Board website provides excellent information to help students prepare for the test, in addition to online registration.

Registration materials

Parents that need to register a new student should follow the policy set forth by the school board.  Registration information may be found in the Guidance Department of the school they are registering their student.  Proof of residency and information from the student's previous school is needed to register. The process is greatly simplified if parents have this information when they come to register.  For more information contact Rockingham County High School's Guidance Department at 336 634-3226.

 

Student Health Center  Consent Forms

Health Centers are in place at each high school.  Students must have a completed consent form on file with the Health Center.  The centers are maintained by registered nurses and the services they provide are free to students.  Forms are given out at the beginning of the year but forms may also be obtained at anytime at the health center.

 

Drivers Eligibility Forms

Parents with a student going to the DMV to get a learner's permit will need a verification form from the SIMS operator at the school their student attends.  These forms can be obtained from Scott Isley at Rockingham County High School.

 

Athletic Participation Physical Forms

Each year our high school offers free physicals to all students planning to participate in a school sport.  RCHS students that get their physical from their family doctor or another provider need to pick up a physical form from Athletic Director Courtney Paschal.

 

Transcript Request Form

Transcript request forms may be picked up in the front office at RCHS or in the Guidance Department.  If your student is under the age of 18, a Permission for Release of School Information form must be completed and on file.  These forms allow the school to release information such as school records, test scores including but not limited to the SAT and PSAT.  It also allows the release of any records related to educational, personal, and career goals.
