December Updates
RCS Middle School Principal's Office
Hello, RCS Middle School Parents & Guardians!
It has been a busy place at the middle school! There are many fun activities coming up after the holiday recess. Please take a moment to look at the calendar below to see that new additions, including the PTSO Paint and Snack as well as a dance* on January 20 have been added.
A new link has also been attached. It is the most up to date copy of the Student/Parent/Guardian handbook. If you have not already done so, please review it with your child and return the acknowledgement page, signed.
*Please note the Dance Guidelines, which can be found on page 16 of the handbook.
"It is important to note that students, who are restricted, receive a late detention(s), in-school suspension or out-of-school suspension or have had a Level III infraction for a period of three calendar weeks prior to a dance or activity will NOT be permitted to attend the dance or activity night. All school rules apply at all school functions."
For the dance on January 20th, the "period of three calendar weeks prior" will consist of the following dates: January 3 - January 20.
