With the bus driver shortage in Fulton County, it more important than ever to let our drivers know how much we appreciate them. We are asking for donations to make this week really special. Our RCMS bus drivers always go the extra mile! Please Venmo donations to @Taryn-Lum-1 or PayPal to lumt@bellsouth.net.

The RCMS Book Fair will take place in the Media Center Oct.17-21. Students will have the opportunity to visit and purchase books Monday-Friday from 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. We will also be open on Thursday from 4:30-5:30 p.m. during the Ridgeview United Music and Hispanic Heritage Month Festival. Parents, you may set up an eWallet for your student to shop during the school day or you may shop with your student Thursday afternoon.

As a school-wide Title I program, it is our responsibility to jointly develop and share our School-Family Compact and our Parent & Family Engagement Plans. Parents, school staff, and students partnered together to jointly develop the School-Family Compact and school Parent and Family Engagement Plan (PFEP) through input collected from feedback forms, surveys, and input meetings held annually in the spring; however, feedback is taken through the school year. For more information, you may contact the school at 470-254-8589. These documents can be viewed below or in English and Spanish on our Title I page.

• School-Family Compact: Offers ways that we can work together to help students succeed. Compacts are being distributed now from homeroom teachers. We ask that each parent reads, signs, and returns the compact signature page. Click here for our compact.
