RBSMS Weekly Update
February 6, 2023
Raymond B. Stewart Middle School
Hello Bulldog Family,
We are at the halfway point in the 3rd quarter. Progress reports are viewable in the myStudent parent portal. If you have any questions regarding grades the best place to start is by contacting the teacher directly through email or by phone. You can do this when you are in myStudent by clicking on the teachers name to email them directly. Please allow teachers 24 hours to respond to your emails, as the majority of the day is teaching and supervising students.
We also have our 3rd quarter Community Connections Night and Curriculum Fair on Thursday February 9th. This is a great time to schedule a conference with your child's teachers and also learn about next year's course selection at our curriculum fair and next year's 7th and 8th grade parent presentation at 4:30 in the cafeteria. Please see the Community Connection Night/Curriculum Fair flyer.
8th Grade Parents February 10th is our next Gradventure money collection date. Due to transportation, there is limited space on the bus, we only have 200 seats. The first 200 students who pay in full for the trip will secure their spot for the field trip. Please see the 8th Grade Activities packet for more information.
Thank you for taking the time to read the Bulldog Bark Newsletter and being our partner in your child's education.
