RKS Admission Standards It is the policy of RKS to admit students regardless of race, color, religion, national and ethnic origins. All students have the right to the privileges, programs and activities offered by the school.  In order to maintain the objectives of RKS, and because it is a church-oriented educational institution, admission qualifications have been established. Only those students and their families who are in agreement with the philosophy and objectives of RKS and who will cooperate with the principles of the school should apply for admission.  Students of other religious faiths are welcome, provided they will respect the beliefs of the Seventh-day Adventist faith and maintain a reverent attitude during religious exercises and Bible class. The applicant should be in good physical health. Any identified physical conditions should be shared with the administrator and appropriate faculty member to ensure the student's learning is not hindered.  Medical examinations are required for all new students.  State Law requires that up-to-date immunization records be placed on file with the school.  Students should be in good academic standing at their previous school.  New students may be tested to determine grade placement.  RKS strives to provide the best possible education for all of its students; however, RKS does not have the facilities or the staff to handle all special educational needs. Students entering kindergarten must be five years of age on or before September 1.  Students entering first grade must be six years of age on or before September 1.  All students entering first grade will be given the Metropolitan Readiness Test.  All other students entering school for the first time will be given the Wide-Range Achievement Test.  Parent(s) are welcome to stay with their child while the assessment is in progress.  Once the assessment is completed, the tester will arrange a time when the parent(s) may return to review the findings.  RKS reserves the right to determine if the student and RKS are compatible and/or if the student is developmentally ready to register at RKS.   Admission Procedures Send a completed application with the prospective student's most recent report card to Rocky Knoll Admissions, 52 Advent Dr., Martinsburg, WV 25403 RKS will acknowledge receipt of application If applicable, clear financial obligations with previous school RKS will arrange a date for placement testing Parent(s) and student(s) meet with the principal School Board will review all pertinent information and decide on admission to RKS Parents will be notified of the Board's decision
