RMS Wildcat Weekly
January 29th, 2021 Information for our Families
Greetings Wildcat Families!
Thank you so much to everyone who made it for our RMS Picture Day! It was so wonderful to see our Wildcats! Thank you also to everyone who came to our PTA fundraiser at Little Cakes. Hope you enjoyed the delicious treats- we are so grateful for your support!
Our second semester starts on Monday, February 1st, and our amazing counselors have processed all of our schedule change requests. New schedules should be visible in AERIES TOMORROW. We need ALL students to check their schedules to see if they have had period and teacher changes. Their new Canvas classes should be available on their dashboards by Monday.
Though students have been scheduled into our Classic or Virtual learning models, please remember that ALL STUDENTS WILL CONTINUE IN DISTANCE LEARNING until we have approval to bring them back to campus. Our virtual bell schedule has not changed. The virtual bell schedule is linked above and is on our website. Please remind students to check their periods and teachers so that they attend the right classes on time.
Thank you so much for your continued support and collaboration! Be well!
Sincerely,
Heather Golly
Cameras On!
- Turn your cameras on during specific portions of the lesson as determined by the teacher.
- Respond verbally or in writing when prompted.
- Utilize the Chat feature appropriately to communicate with teachers and peers.
Again, it is crucial that cameras are on and that students are actively participating in class in order to support engagement, community-building, and motivation for learning. We need your support as parents/guardians to stress the importance of these expectations with our Wildcats. Students who have particular issues having their cameras on should reach out to their teachers.
SUPPORT OUR RMS CHOIR FUNDRAISER
We welcome you to support our music program. For this week, or probably an extension time to order, we are offering this fun, new choir swag. Thank you for your support.
New schedule for COVID-19 tests
