Message from Superintendent Dr. Lynn Moody
Well, it has been a
challenging start to this
New Year in respects to
the inclement weather
that we have been
experiencing. One of the
most difficult decisions
that a Superintendent can
make is whether to delay,
close or keep schools open
on a normal schedule
during uncertain weather
conditions. Please know
that these decisions are
made on the side of caution
and you can be assured
that the safety of our
students and staff is our top
priority.
We are in the depths
of writing the document that will become our district’s new Strategic
Plan. This plan will determine the direction of our school system. This
process takes a great deal of time in pulling together and analyzing
data; gathering input from all stakeholders through online surveys
and meetings - all focused at doing what is the best for our students
to be successful in school and in life. It is an exciting time and I am
extremely encouraged by all those that are eager to be a part of this
process. Stay tuned as this new plan unfolds in the near future…
One of the most enjoyable parts of my working as
Superintendent is the opportunity to reach out to our school families
and our community. Our Board of Education and community
supporters have had the opportunity to get to know our schools
better through visits to individual schools. These visits allow

Apple Distringuished Program
for 2013-2015
The Rowan-Salisbury School System has earned
renewed status as an Apple Distinguished Program for the
2013-2015 school years.
The award was presented at the January Board of
Education meeting. The designation is reserved for
programs that demonstrate a consistent vision for
enhancing and extending teaching and learning through
thoughtful and innovative implementations of technology.
In 2009, North Rowan High School received its initial
recognition from Apple followed by four years of school
system programs being identified by the company
for exemplary learning environments and centers of
innovation, leadership, and educational excellence.
Rowan-Salisbury is recognized for 21st century
learning through many initiatives and unique technology
programs.
This year marks the first Apple Distinguished Program
renewal award for a two-year span from 2013-2015.
