Principal's Post
Below is a new edition of the "Middle Years" Newsletter. My favorite section was "Keep the Peace at Home". As a working mom, sometimes my fuse is shorter than it should be, but this section gave me ideas on how to better handle tension at home. After all, children at this age are continuously learning, and we as parents want to teach helpful life lessons.
Also, one of the pictures below is a bulletin board created by Team 8-2 from a Big Life Journal lesson. Students discussed goal setting and self-reflection as a way to set their "word goal". It is wonderful to hear such thoughtful discussions taking place on campus!
Lastly, tonight at 6:00 will be our January School Improvement Council meeting via Zoom (link below).
Have a great week!
Warm Regards,
Heather Andrus

Meals for Virtual Students
Beginning Tuesday, January 5, 2021, parents will no longer be required to pre-order meals. Meals may be picked up between 11:30-1:00 at the following locations: Belleview, Finley Road, Oakdale, Rosewood, Castle Heights, Dutchman Creek, and Northwestern. Students will receive lunch for the current day and breakfast for the following morning.
2020-2021 RRMS Yearbook
Due to half our school being virtual, and the rest being A/B, we request students and parents send photos to be considered for the yearbook. We would love to see students and/or doing work online or otherwise, in class, or even doing things on their "off time". We'd also like fun candid photos with or without masks. Photos should be school appropriate. Photos can be submitted here.
Yearbooks (hardcover, 76 pages) may be ordered for $37. Please visit the website to order your yearbook here.
8th Grade parents may place tribute ads for their 8th graders at jostensadservice.com starting at $25 by February 10th.

Northwestern High School Boys Tennis
The 2021 Northwestern HS Boys Tennis season begins Feb. 1.
We welcome 7th and 8th grade players zoned for NHS!
We are a no-cut team, as long as a player makes good grades,
follows team/school rules, and tries to do his best.
Our goals are to have fun together and improve our games.
