Water Intrusion Repairs at RMMS
During our spring closures, RMMS suffered some water intrusion issues that are currently being remediated. Remediation and repairs will continue to be completed at RMMS for the next two months or so. We will keep you updated as we have new information. As always, scholar and staff safety is our first priority.

Scholar vs. Student
You may have noticed that I call your children SCHOLARS not students. There is a reason for that. Here at RMMS, they are a SCHOLARS.
Students are…
Teacher driven, dependent, uncertain, learners, school member, learns from teacher, has general knowledge, follows, traditional, reads because they have to, novice, inside the box, and passively learns.
Scholars are…
Peer driven, engaged, multi-faceted learner, collaborator, problem solver, self-motivated, passionate, independent, innovative, wants to learn, desires to share knowledge, prestigious, focused, reads to learn, inquisitive, actively learns, advanced, studious, directs instruction, outside the box, pursues knowledge, and asks questions.
RMMS Mighty Bulls are...
Thinkers, attentive, disciplined, learners, have potential, creative, inspire, achieve, energetic, hard-working, fun, open and engaged.
Thank you for calling your child a SCHOLAR at home too! It takes a village.
CANVAS UPDATE
Be sure to check out the VUSD Vista Institute for Parents for assistance with Canvas.
Click here to go to the site. There are TONS of resources available for you!
If your scholar gets kicked out of their Zoom meeting, please have your scholar email their teacher to let them know AND then complete the assignment that is in their Canvas classroom. In addition, your scholar can make an appointment to meet with their teacher during the Learning Options time after 12:30 pm, Tuesday - Friday. That's a great way to stay caught up!
VIRTUAL SCHEDULE
Thank you for taking time to keep your scholar on track with our virtual schedule. We know it is hard to manage a household and be sure that your scholar is getting to their classes. One suggestion is to have them set their alarm for the start time of every period so it reminds them to log in. They can even use the settings on their Chromebook to set reminders. How cool is that!?

CHECK YOUR PARENT PORTAL - UPDATE YOUR EMERGENCY CONTACTS
With COVID-19 concerns, it is more important than ever that your emergency contacts are up-to-date. When we return to school, if a scholar shows any symptoms of COVID-19, we will be contacting you to pick them up immediately. This is for everyone's safety. If you are unsure about how to do this, please contact the front office for assistance. 760-631-4500
