RBSMS Weekly Update
April 10, 2023
Raymond B. Stewart Middle School
Hello Bulldog Parents,
As we approach the end of the school year, I would like to take a moment to express the importance of attendance. There are 7 weeks remaining in the school year and many subjects are finishing out the curriculum and preparing students for upcoming end of year assessments that begin in May. The information that will be covered is important to our students' academic success. When possible, please schedule appointments and vacations outside of school times.
Please take a few minutes every week to check the myStudent parent portal. Please email, or call, your child's teachers if you have any questions. Thank you for taking the time to read this week's Bulldog Bark Newsletter and being our partner in your child's education.

RBSMS SCHOOL ADVISORY COUNCIL (SAC)
What is a School Advisory Council?
- The school Advisory Council is the means for community and parent involvement in and support of the schools.
- 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.
