RBSMS Weekly Update
March 6, 2023
Raymond B. Stewart Middle School
Hello Bulldog Families,
As we approach the end of the 3rd quarter this Friday, please take some time to log into the myStudent parent portal and review your child's grades with them. If you have any questions regarding grades you can click on the teacher's name in myStudent to email them, or you can find a list of all of our teachers' email addresses on our website under the "Contact Us" tab.
Please speak with your child about the data chats and goal settings that are happening with their ELA and Math teachers. Students are exploring their FAST data from the first two assessments that took place earlier in the year and setting goals for the 3rd FAST assessment that takes place in May. The results for the 3rd FAST assessment will be used for many decisions including course placement for next school year. Additionally, we are planning incentives for the last week in May that students will be able to participate in if they achieve their goals, including a field day.
Please see the flyer below for information regarding the ESE transition night at Cypress Creek High School on March 22nd. This event is for all ESE students and their parents.
We hope that everyone has a relaxing and safe Spring Break and look forward to a strong 4th quarter finish when we return on Monday, 3/20.
Thank you for taking the time to read through this Newsletter and being our partner in your child's education.
Joshua Borders

What is a School Advisory Council?

- The School Advisory Council is composed of the principal, teachers, school staff, parents, business and community representatives, and secondary students.
How can I become a SAC member?
- Elected members of the School Advisory Council include teachers, educational support personnel, parents, and secondary students.
- Members are also appointed to the council by the principal to represent business and the community.
- Students serve as SAC members for a one year term.
- A chairperson is elected annually by the SAC membership.
Any parent, community business member, teacher, or student interested in serving on our SAC committee for the 2022-2023 school year--please email Ms. Johnson at rsjohnso@pasco.k12.fl.us for a nomination form. This is a great way to get involved and stay connected to your Bulldog family.
