RBSMS Weekly Update
January 30, 2023
Raymond B. Stewart Middle School
Hello Bulldog Families,
Please take some time to look through our weekly schedule below, there are both Girl's soccer and Boy's basketball games next week. We would love for parents, students, and community members come and support our athletes. It is a great time to come together as a Bulldog family and enjoy each other's company.
I am asking for parents of car riders to please use the designated pick up/drop off loop on the corner of 10th Ave and 10th St. at the front of our school. Our bus loop and parking area behind the gym connected to 11th St. and next to the cafeteria on the corner of 10th St. and 11th Ave. are for busses and official school traffic only. It is a serious safety concern to have parents dropping off in the bus loops.
Additionally, we have witnessed an increase in the amount of students on campus before supervision begins at 7:05am. Please do not drop your students off before 7:05am, it is a safety concern, there are no assigned adults to montior student behaviors before 7:05am.
Thank you to the 8th grade parents who paid for Gradventure trip so far. Please be aware that we only have enough busses for 200 students to attend. We currently have 52 students who have paid in full and secured their spot. Open spots on the trip will be filled by the first 200 students who pay in full. Once all 200 spots are filled, if needed we will begin a wait list.
Thank you for being our partner in your child's education and taking the time to read the weekly Bulldog Newsletter.
