RBSMS Weekly Update
January 23, 2023
Raymond B. Stewart Middle School
Hello Bulldog Families,
We are approaching that time of the year where students will begin learning, and making decisions, about their next school year. The process will begin this Monday with our current 8th grade students. Zephyrhills High School Staff will be on our campus sharing about high school course selection, athletics, clubs, programs, and graduation requirements through their English Language Arts classes. In February, our staff will make similar visits to the 5th grade classes at the elementary schools and work with our current 6th and 7th graders. We are encouraging all 8th graders and their parents visit the Zephyrhills High School curriculum fair on February 2nd at 6pm to learn more about the high school process.
Additionally, please see the information in this newsletter regarding the Superintendent's Family Forums. This is a new opportunity for parents, and community members, to engage with the school district to learn about different topics. The first form in our area will be this Tuesday, January 24, at Pasco Middle School, doors opening at 5pm.
