We would like to invite your child(ren) to attend our middle school Jump Start Program this summer.This 2-day program will run from Monday, August 12th through Thursday, August 15th. We will meet at Bernotas Middle School from 8:45am–11:00am for your 2 days of Jump Start.

• For students whose last name starts with A-L, your Jump Start days are on Monday and Tuesday (8/12 and 8/13).
• Students with last names starting with M-Z, your Jump Start day will be Wednesday and Thursday (8/14 and 8/15).

While in Jump Start, the Vikings will meet some of their new staff members, tour the building, learn about our extracurricular opportunities, practice locker combinations, and other great activities. If you are interested in having your student participate, please sign up using this link JUMP START. If you would like to sign up by computer/Chromebook please refer to the Jumpstart email you will receive for the link.

Parents must provide transportation to and from the Jump Start program. Drop students off at the front of the building. They will enter at DOOR 20 (Athletic Entrance) – pick up students from the front at 11:00 am.

Please contact Mrs. Smith at csmith@d47.org if you have questions. Thank you for supporting us in offering this wonderful opportunity for your child. Have a great summer!

With summer fast approaching, we are beginning to plan for the upcoming school year. Please see the attached RBMS Medical CHECKLIST which reviews all required medical paperwork due BEFORE the first day of school. Per District 47 policy, 6th graders must have a school physical and updated vaccine record prior to the first day of school. Unfortunately, should those forms not be submitted prior to the first day, your child will be excluded. Should your child have a medical condition requiring medication to be given at school and/or classroom accommodations, please have your physician complete the attached medical forms on the RBMS Medical Checklist. Should you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to contact me.

Thank you and have a great day!

Are you planning on moving over the summer and will not be attending D47 in the Fall? If yes, please contact Mrs. Smith Administrative Assistant at the RBMS school office by May 24th.. RBMS will transfer your student's records to the District 47 Office before the summer. When you register at the new school, have the new school reach out to the District 47 Office, not RBMS, for the students records.
