Mark your calendars! Split Rock's band, orchestra and chorus students will be performing on Wednesday, May 18 at 7pm at the West Genesee High School in the auditorium. This will certainly be a performance you will not want to miss! The staff and students have been working extremely hard and are looking forward to the opportunity to perform!
Split Rock's Spring Open House will be held on Thursday, May 19 from 6-7pm. This will be a SELF-GUIDED tour for students to showcase their school, classroom and work! We look forward to opening our doors back up to families so they may see the many wonderful things that have taken place throughout the year! As you can imagine this is a very well attended event and therefore parking will be limited. We ask that you do not park on Split Rock Road. If you find that both parking lots are full, please utilize our free shuttle and park at the Slavic Baptist Church, just down the hill from the school! For your convenience, the shuttle will be running from 5:30-7:30pm that evening.
