Principal's Post
The March Middle Years newsletter is below. Two sections that caused me to reflect on my own home were "Avoid the blame game" and "Word up! Fun vocabulary boosters". Most children this age have the "I did not do it" reaction to situations. Turning excuses into explanations seems like a great teachable moment to practice at home. Additionally, reading can be a struggle for one of my own children, but this activity to enhance vocabulary is a great alternative. Parenting is complicated, we have to look out for one another!
Sixth grade Beta Club invitations for our Face to Face students were sent home last Thursday and Friday. Our virtual student invitations were mailed Thursday. Please have your child complete the application and return them to Ms. Colvin by the end of the week. Virtual students may email the application. New members will be inducted next month. Tuesday, March 9th at 6:00, 2019-2020 members will be inducted. The Zoom link is below. If you have any questions please email one of the advisors.

2020-2021 RRMS Yearbook
Due to half our school being virtual, and the rest being A/B, we request students and parents send photos to be considered for the yearbook. We would love to see students and/or doing work online or otherwise, in class, or even doing things on their "off time". We'd also like fun candid photos with or without masks. Photos should be school appropriate. Photos can be submitted here.
Yearbooks (hardcover, 76 pages) may be ordered for $40. Please visit the website to order your yearbook here. February 26th is the last day to guarantee a yearbook. There will be a limited number of extras available when the orders come in in May. Please be sure to order now so you don't miss out later.
