Hello Stevenson Families!

We had a fantastic first week of 2025! Our aspiring athletes tried out for girls basketball this week, and I can't wait to see how successful they'll be this season!

On Tuesday, January 21st we'll officially begin our 2nd semester. Some students will experience schedule changes at this time. Students will report to their current 1st hour class to receive their new 2nd semeseter schedule. They'll receive a printed copy with their locker number and combination as well. An announcement will be made for students to report to their new 2nd semester class (if they have a change).

Second semester schedules will be viewable on Parent Connect and Student Connect on Monday, January 20.

6th Grade students will continue to have the same teachers. The only class that may change for our 6th graders is their electives course. Students will still receive a new printed schedule reflecting any changes.

Take a look at our focus areas for RAPS in January. In each class every day, students are able to earn 2 PBIS points for following the behavior expectations in this area. Students will be able to use their PBIS points to purchase items in our school store, replacement IDs, and admission to sporting events.

Parents, are you wondering "Why are we doing this?" See the attached presentation for all of the important details!

If your child’s bus is canceled, please make sure to inform the school by calling the attendance line or speaking with our counseling secretary Ms. Greenshields. Let them know that the absence is due to a bus cancellation. The secretary will mark your child’s attendance with a “B” for bus cancellation, which will not count against them for truancy purposes.

Before break, Mrs. Carlson and Ms. Petrie took several students to the awesome STEM Center we have in our district. They had a great time!

📅 Student Divisions: Open to 4th grade and up
