RBSMS Weekly Update
February 20, 2023
Raymond B. Stewart Middle School
Hello Bulldog Parents,
It was great to see our students having fun and being kids at the Valentine's Dance last Tuesday! It was a great fundraiser for our National Junior Honors Society who will donate the funds to a charity.
I would like to make a special shout out to our Girl's Soccer team and Coach Poulsen for their first win in 6 years against the Centennial Middle School Cyclones! Great job girls! I had the honor to watch it in person, and they played awesome!
Please take some time to fill out our annual Title One parent survey. It is 10 simple questions, and your answers are extremely valuable. Your answers will assist us in making plans to better improve our communication and planning for parents. We want your honest feedback so that we may make the necessary changes for improvement. The survey will close on February 21, 2023.
Thank you for taking the time to read this week's newsletter and being our partner in your child's education.
