Pictures Tuesday, August 27, 2019: Make sure you stop by the MPR so we can get your picture in the yearbook and on the staff wall! Just stop by the MPR whenever you get a chance.
Back to School Night Thursday, August 29, 2019.
Principal Welcome for parents at 6:00 pm in the MPR, and parents will then be able to visit classrooms from 6:30-7:37 pm. Beginning Band parent meeting at 5:45 pm in B-11. We will also have a PTA Association Meeting and a Title I meeting before the Principal Welcome. Please see the RMS BTSN Flyer for details.
School Site Council: This year we are in need of TWO parent representatives for the Site Council (SSC). The SSC meets after school approximately five times a year (click here for schedule). This is a great way to get involved and work with RMS teachers, students and Administration on school improvement.
PE Uniforms: Students may purchase PE Uniforms online. Older PE items are still available as well while supplies last! Purchases may also be made in the school office before school and after school only.
If you haven't already, remember to bookmark the RMS Staff Website! Lots of important links and info are provided here.
Elective Changes Continue!
Students had to submit their elective change requests by last Friday, August 23rd. We will work to make all of those changes by this Friday, August 30th. Students will not be moved out of PRIDEs or lunch periods. Elective changes will not be made if they impact academic classes. Let us know if you have any concerns.
We appreciate that Gina Karp was able to give us a review of Restorative Practices and deepen our understanding more about using circles in the classroom. She fixed the tinyurl, so if you can submit a quick evaluation, she would appreciate it: tinyurl.com/y6u66sal
