Pine Knob's Ski and Snowboard Swap is the last weekend in October at Pine Knob--great place for great deals on last year's models from local merchants.

Click HERE for the link to the Ski and Snowboard Club website. It has all the information you need to sign up both for the RMS Ski and Snowboard Club and through Pine Knob for their 6-week program (PINE KNOB'S sign-up opens Monday, OCT 17, 8am-closes Nov. 30). PLEASE read ALL the information provided in the overview. There are several payment options through Pine Knob depending on whether your child just needs tickets; tickets and rentals; rentals and lessons; or some combination of these options. Pine Knob's 6-week program is non-refundable and there are no carry-overs if you miss a week. Please read all the information before registering for anything.

Transportation--Romeo Middle is providing transportation free of charge TO Pine Knob this year. Parents, or a designated adult, are required to sign out their children by 7pm--you may stay with your children until the resort closes at 10pm if you choose. Sign up for the bus is in the RMS registration form on the website. NO EQUIPMENT IS ALLOWED ON SCHOOL BUSES to school in the morning--equipment must be dropped off at school, location TBD.

If your student is interested, please mark your calendar for
Wednesday, October 19, 2022 at 7pm. We will hold an informational
meeting via GoogleMeet during which we will present an overview of the middle school Science Olympiad program and key dates in our competition season, as well as the process and requirements for joining the team.

Contact Head Coach Dr. Jayme Aschemeyer-LaValley at

meeting.

Between now and the October 19th info session, please have your
student review the 23 events in this year's Science Olympiad

What’s going on in the counseling office?? Let’s take a look -

6th Grade - Mr. Ameel, Mrs. Ebert, Officer Bauer, and Mrs. Bjorkstrstrand will join advisory classes throughout the month to promote National Bullying Prevention Month. We will be discussing how to report any incidents of bullying, how to communicate effectively with each other so things do not escalate, how to express feelings and emotions, and how to identify something as bullying, rather than someone being mean or rude.

7th Grade - Mrs. Skover will be introducing Xello, our career exploration program, to all of your 7th grade students throughout the month. They will be completing their Educational Development Plans and beginning the initial steps toward preparing for the academies at the high school. Please have your students login into Xello with you and show you all of the interesting career and post secondary education opportunities that they can explore.

8th Grade - Throughout the month of October, Mrs. Bazner and all of the 8th grade students will be promoting College Awareness month. This is one of many opportunities our students will have to talk about post secondary opportunities and begin thinking about what path their lives may take in the future.
