Rochester High School Parents/Caregivers,
In the past years, the Rochester High School staff have recognized that students are busier than ever. From academics to after school activities, students have a lot on their plates. We also understand that the next weeks of school bring about the challenges of final exam preparation and testing, something many students are not used to. With this in mind, teachers at Rochester High School spent the past year brainstorming ways to help support student achievement, wellness, and success. After discussion with many school stakeholders and fellow educators, the concept of an Advisory period was developed. We are looking forward to having our first Advisory period between 2nd and 3rd hours on Wednesday, December 7th.We plan to continue this pilot program for a total of four Wednesdays (12/7, 12/14, 12/21, and 1/11) at which time we will reassess the program.
What is Advisory?
Advisory is a time for students to:
Students will be scheduled into an Advisory (displayed as period zero on StudentVue and ParentVue) but may receive a pass from one of their other teachers or support staff for targeted academic or social-emotional support. To be clear, Advisory is not a time for students to access social media, utilize their cell phone, or otherwise misuse their time in school. We believe that having this scheduled time during the day for additional academic support will allow students to experience more academic success while maintaining personal wellness.
If you have any questions about Advisory, please don’t hesitate to connect with our administration team. Mr. Wrinkle can be reached at 248-726-5401, Mr. Amore at 248-726-5415, or Mrs. Pasquale at 248-726-5416.

If your child has an early dismissal please call the attendance line as early as possible in the day at 248-726-5410. This is an automated number that is checked continuously between 6:30am – 3:00pm. Have your student pick up their pass in the morning, during passing time, or at lunch. We do not deliver passes. However, we will deliver a pass if it is a last minute emergency.
Please feel free to utilize the PARENTVUE to report an absence (full day or partial day). Simply note in the COMMENT SECTION, the time of the early dismissal or late arrival.
If you do not call to report the early dismissal you will have to wait until one of our Safe-Ed Security interrupts the class to get the student which can take up to 15 minutes. Once the early dismissal is reported and the student has picked up their pass they are free to meet you in the pick-up loop. You are not required to come into the building.
PARENT DROP-OFF/PICK-UP - KEY POINTS TO KEEP OUR STUDENTS SAFE!
Use the Tradition loop, located off Walton Blvd. to enter the Parent Drop-off/Pick-up loop. Please go slow for the safety of our students/teachers and other drivers.
Please keep our students safe by following these procedures when dropping off your student at school:
1. PULL FORWARD ALL THE WAY UNTIL YOU COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.
2. Students should exit the car wherever it stops on the right side of the loop and proceed to the entrance.
3. Once your child exits the car anywhere in the loop on the right side, you may pass other cars in the inner (left) lane.
We are pleased to announce that Courtesy Driving School will be holding their Segment 1 and Segment 2 classes at our high schools again starting in September!
