Spirit Day with Alessio's - Wednesday, May 13th (Until 8:00pm TODAY - See below)
Student Locker Clean Out Dates - May 19-21
Pickup of Locker Belongings
Students can pick up their belongings out of their lockers starting next week. Students can come to Riverwatch in small groups that are determined by your child’s last name. Please see the chart on the letter to parents, find the range of the alphabet for your child’s last name and then you can determine your child’s assigned date/time and which location student can enter (either Front or Gym Doors) so that parents know where to park.
Track uniforms will be collected in a box in the rotunda. Please make sure you bag up the pieces of your child’s uniform and label the bag so that they can easily be identified by the coaches when they check them in.
Questions? After reading the updates, if you have further questions please let us know in the link HERE.
Yearbook - Last Call

Yearbooks are scheduled to arrive in June and we will communicate pickup instructions when we have yearbooks available.

RMS Football 2020 Update:
Good Afternoon Panthers!
This message is for ANY 6th or 7th grade student interested in being a part of the 2020 football team.
With school being out through the end of the year we will be modifying some processes. The most obvious being Spring Practice/Tryouts. I do not know what the future holds, but I want to be proactive so we are prepared to get to work as soon as it is safe and we get the green light. One way we can do that is by beginning to gather information. I need to two forms below completed if you have not already done so- the sooner we get this done the better. Please have this done by next Friday, April 24th.
Please take a moment to join our remind by texting @2697ge to 81010. I will try to send updates through remind 101 and directly to your email after this messenger blast. Make sure you complete the above forms to be on the email list.
Thank you,
Brian Sudderth

The Place of Forsyth County
The Place of Forsyth has been working to support families during this difficult time in our community. This includes helping to distribute bags of food so that our kids and families have the essential items that they need. The Place continues to receive first time requests for assistance from families, including several who are in need of support due to the financial impact they are facing because of COVID-19.
Creating meal kits for families and giving financial assistance requires additional resources. We are confident this community will help us meet the needs of the most vulnerable during this time.
