This year, RCMS has implemented Zones of Regulation schoolwide.

The purpose of Zones is to help students recognize and manage their emotions.

During Quarter 1, RCMS staff will focus on:

• discussing the four colors of Zones with students (green, blue, yellow and red)
• providing a space for students to work through their feelings when big emotions come to the surface

Throughout the year, we will discuss strategies for emotional regulation and how to communicate our feelings appropriately in our shared spaces.

Look for more information about this strategy in future Newsletters.

Want to use Zones of Regulation at home? Reach out to Magda Sobalvarro-Ochoa, Victoria Eels, or Karen Naylor for more information.

Below is the chart that staff use to discuss this process with our students.

Este año, RCMS ha implementado Zonas de Regulación en toda la escuela.

El propósito de Zones es ayudar a los estudiantes a reconocer y manejar sus emociones.

Durante el Trimestre 1, el personal de RCMS se centrará en:

1. Discutir los cuatro colores de las zonas con los estudiantes (verde, azul, amarillo y rojo)

2. Proporcionar un espacio para que los estudiantes trabajen a través de sus sentimientos cuando las grandes emociones salen a la superficie.

A lo largo del año, discutiremos estrategias para la regulación emocional y cómo comunicar nuestros sentimientos de manera adecuada en nuestros espacios compartidos.

Busque más información sobre más estrategias en futuros boletines informativos.

¿Quieres usar las zonas de regulación en casa? Comunícate con Magda Sobalvarro-Ochoa, Victoria Eels o Karen Naylor para obtener más información.

A continuación se muestra la tabla que el personal usa para discutir este proceso con nuestros estudiantes.

This year, students will continue to have the opportunity to go outside for “recess” after they finish their lunch. This year, students are not allowed to bring balls or toys of any type to school. In the interest of student and staff safety, no outside food or deliveries will be allowed. As a reminder, per MCPS guidelines, any adult entering the school building will be asked for picture identification.

Ensuring safe drop-off and pick-up is part of our renewed focus on safety and security. As a reminder, traffic in front of the building and in the carpool lane is very busy before and after school. When dropping off your child, please help us by pulling up as far forward as possible, abiding by the lines in the drop off loop. Please plan your travel time so that your child arrives at school with enough time to go to their locker and arrive in class on time. We also ask that the staff parking lot not be utilized for drop-off purposes. For the safety of all children, please be sure to obey all traffic laws when dropping off and picking up, including no U-turns or stopping to drop-off students on Waring Station Road.

Este año, los estudiantes continuarán teniendo la oportunidad de salir al "recreo" después de terminar su almuerzo. Este año, los estudiantes no pueden traer pelotas ni juguetes de ningún tipo a la escuela. En aras de la seguridad de los estudiantes y el personal, no se permitirán entregas de alimentos. Como recordatorio, de acuerdo con las pautas de MCPS, a cualquier adulto que ingrese al edificio escolar se le pedirá su identificación.

Garantizar la seguridad de la entrega y recogida es parte de nuestro renovado enfoque en la seguridad. Como recordatorio, el tráfico frente al edificio y en el carril de viajes compartidos es muy concurrido antes y después de la escuela. Cuando deje a su hijo, ayúdenos deteniéndose lo más adelante posible, respetando las líneas en el bucle de entrega. Planifique su tiempo de viaje para que su hijo llegue a la escuela con tiempo suficiente para ir a su casillero y llegar a clase a tiempo. También pedimos que el estacionamiento del personal no se utilice para dejar a los niños. Para la seguridad de todos los niños, asegúrese de obedecer todas las leyes de tránsito al dejar y recoger, incluido no dar vueltas en U o detenerse para dejar a los estudiantes en Waring Station Road.

The second marking period is underway with a lot of learning happening. One of our school focus areas is improved literacy and vocabulary skills that are important to both understanding all kinds of informational text and enjoying the experience of reading. We’re excited to support your child’s reading journey in middle school and to set them up for success in high school! Reading at home is an important part of developing strong literacy skills and building up reading stamina, so here are a few tips to make it enjoyable and enriching. Encourage your child to set aside a few minutes each evening for reading, whether it’s a novel, a magazine, or an e-book. Talking about what they’re reading can also help them think critically and engage more deeply. Share with your kids what you are reading right now and how you use your reading skills during your day as well.

Remember, our school library offers a fantastic selection of books, including digital resources, that can be accessed from home. Your child can explore e-books, audiobooks, and other engaging materials through our media center and the public library system. If your student needs assistance logging in or finding resources, please encourage them to reach out and stop by the media center. Let’s work together to make reading a fun and rewarding part of your child's daily routine!
