Thank you for your continued support for our teachers and staff! Treats can be dropped off in car line, from the bus lot, and/or in the front office anytime during the week. Treats are collected and available for the entire staff in our workroom.

Our teacher assistants are increasingly being used to support students instructionally. Though we are excited to transition to more of an Instructional Assistant role, this does mean that they have less time for some of the supports previously provided for teachers (e.g. clerical, copies, lamination, etc.).

This is where our community and families come in! We would love to capitalize on our supportive school community by asking for the gift of time. Please see the sign-up sheet link below to donate a few small blocks (a few hours) of your time.

Link for Sign-Up: Clerical Support

All volunteers must be approved by Cabarrus County Schools. Please follow the link below to start the process and contact the front office with any questions.

Thank you for your continued support!

Morning Meetings: Cabarrus County Schools began implementing P2 in 2022 and will continue and expand this work in the coming year. At RBM STEM all class and all students will utilize P2 lessons and activities daily during Morning Meeting. Please see the implementation calendar below.

P2 Word Walls: As part of the Green Shield Application process, we need to have a P2 Word Wall in each classroom.
