In an effort to have a productive and distraction free learning environment student cell phones are expected to be off or silent and away in learning spaces during the day. This message will be shared with students throughout the first week of school. If you need to reach your student for an emergency during the day, please call the main office for support

En un esfuerzo por tener un entorno de aprendizaje productivo y libre de distracciones, se espera que los teléfonos celulares de los estudiantes estén apagados o en silencio y ausentes en los espacios de aprendizaje durante el día.

Si necesita comunicarse con su estudiante por una emergencia durante el día, llame a la oficina principal para obtener apoyo

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.

Community Engagement is a key component to a successful school. Joining the PTSA is an excellent opportunity to get involved and support the staff and students at Clemente. Helpful PTSA information can be found here: PTSA 2024. To contact the PTSA directly please email: rcmsptsa.office@gmail.com

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.

Dear 6th Grade Families,

New Year, New Goals: Supporting Your Sixth Grader's Success

As we enter the final stretch of the semester with just 3.5 weeks to go, it’s the perfect time to help your sixth grader reflect on their accomplishments and set goals for the year ahead. Goal setting is a powerful way for preteens to build confidence, stay motivated, and take ownership of their success. Here are some tips for supporting your child academically and socially:

Talking About Academic Goals

• Reflect Together: Ask your preteen about their proudest achievements and any challenges they’ve faced this semester. Celebrate their efforts and brainstorm areas they’d like to improve.
• Set SMART Goals: Encourage goals that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. For example, “I will practice math on IXL for 10 minutes each night to improve my quiz scores.”
• Create a Plan: Work with your child to map out steps to achieve their goals. This could include organizing a homework schedule, visiting the library, or asking for help from teachers.

Supporting Healthy Friendships

• Open Conversations: Ask your child what they value in a friend and discuss how to be a good friend in return. Talk about handling disagreements with kindness and respect.
• Practice Role-Playing: Rehearse scenarios they might face with peers, like standing up for themselves or inviting someone new to join a group.
• Encourage Balance: Discuss the importance of balancing social time with academics and other responsibilities, reinforcing the value of self-care.

Together, we can empower our students to finish the semester strong and head into the new year with purpose and positivity. Let’s help them shine!

Stay tuned for updates and resources as we wrap up the semester. As always, thank you for your partnership!

-Your Grade 6 Leadership Team
