There are several payment options through Pine Knob depending on whether your child just needs tickets; tickets and rentals; rentals and lessons; or some combination of these options. Pine Knob's 6-week program is non-refundable and there are no carry-overs if you miss a week. Please read all the information before registering for anything.

Transportation--Romeo Middle is providing transportation free of charge TO Pine Knob this year. Parents, or a designated adult, are required to sign out their children by 7pm--you may stay with your children until the resort closes at 10pm if you choose.

Time is running out for your chance to win $1,000 and an additional $1,000 for RMS.

You can honor your Michigan hero and possibly earn a nice bundle of cash by entering the 54th annual America and Me writing contest. Join the hundreds of other 8th graders across the state and write about your personal Michigan hero. This could be any Michigan resident who you admire and respect.

Remember your essay needs to be no more than 500 words and is for 8th graders only. The top 10 winners from the state will each win $1000 and a special day of VIP treatment in Lansing. (The fourth-place essay was from an RMS student just last year!)

If you have any questions please see your ELA teacher. Once your entry is done, you can see or share it with Mrs. Paulson for official entry into the contest.

All entries must be completed by November 1 - no exceptions.

Good luck!

Our lost and found is growing daily! If your student is missing something please have them stop and look. We donate the lost and found quarterly and it will be going at the end of the month.

Please click here to order your RMS Spirit wear! Orders will be delivered to RMS.

PAWS went on our first community awareness trip today to Tilson street! Thanks to Special Olympics for supporting our ASP Program.

Don't miss out! Ordering is now open for the 22/23 school year! Please see the link above.

7th grade: Mrs. Skover continues to visit classrooms to complete interactive Xello lessons with students! Please ask your child at home about the outcome of the questionnaires they have been completing. It has been awesome seeing students learn about new careers that they were not aware of or interested in before!

October 16th-22nd was America’s Safe Schools Week. We continue to meet and discuss ways to keep our students safe, increase awareness and the importance of feeling safe in school, as well as continuing to create a welcoming environment for students to report anything concerning they may hear.
