Welcome to the Rochester School District Use of Facilities Website

The Rochester School District is committed to providing fair and equitable access to our facilities for all members of the community. We believe our schools belong to the public, and we want to ensure our spaces are available for your use. To protect our educational resources, all users must be familiar with and follow the procedures, rules, and regulations for facility use.

Winter Season Facility Scheduling

We are now accepting reservations for the winter season (November 1–February 28). Our goal is to accommodate as many youth sports teams as possible in our gyms. To help us achieve this, please review the following information carefully before submitting your request.

Available Times: On weeknights, gyms can be reserved for two time slots: 5:00 p.m.–6:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.–8:00 p.m.

Required Documents: You must provide current proof of insurance, a roster, and a signed statement of compliance form for each team.

Key Cards: A key card can be purchased at the district office for a one-time fee of $10. It will be programmed to grant access only during your specific reservation time.

Equipment: Please bring your own equipment. The use of school equipment is not permitted unless you have received prior approval from the district.

Request Deadlines: All requests must be submitted at least seven days in advance of your desired date.

Cancellations: If you need to cancel, please do so at least two days before your scheduled reservation.

Priority Use: Please note that all school-sponsored activities take priority over community use. This may affect the availability of GMES, as it is often used for high school basketball practices and games.
