ELEMENTARY SOFTBALL IS BACK AT ROCK POINT!
We’re excited to announce the return of Elementary Softball for the 2026 season! Thank you to our families, staff, administrators, and volunteers for supporting our young athletes as they grow, learn, and compete.
The sign‑up deadline for Elementary Softball has passed, and the roster for the 2026 season is now set.
Our Elementary athletes will also participate in RPCS Intrasquad Round Robin games, scheduled after home matchups to provide additional opportunities for our team members to develop and compete. These games are exclusively for students who signed up for the softball team. Students will be divided into three teams, with each team playing two short 35‑minute games. Parent volunteers will be needed.
Let’s cheer from the stands and support our young Cougars.
It may be a short season, but we are beyond excited to see our teams back out on the field! 🙌
Every game is a chance to grow, compete, and represent our school with pride. Let’s show up, cheer loud, and support our athletes all season long! 💪🔥

As we prepare for the upcoming school year, we want to share how our school calendar is designed to support student learning while also recognizing important Navajo Nation holidays and Navajo moon phases.
Our calendar includes:
• 182 instructional days for students
• Four quarters of approximately 42-49 days each
• Standard holidays and Navajo Nation–recognized holidays
• Winter Break and Spring Break
• Eight Professional Development days for staff
Our Professional Development days allow staff time to:
• Review student achievement data in reading and math
• Adjust instructional plans to meet student needs
• Monitor progress toward our goals of improving achievement and increasing graduation rates
You will also notice that Navajo moon phases are included on the calendar to help families plan around important cultural and traditional activities.
Because our calendar must meet state instructional requirements and our school improvement priorities, the overall structure remains fairly consistent each year. However, we always appreciate feedback from our families and community.
Thank you for your continued partnership in supporting our students.
