If you have noticed our MS students have all recently started wearing glasses, you are not imagining it! RMS would like to give a shout out to board member and parent Jenny Cox for purchasing blue light blocker glasses for all of our middle school students. After visiting our classes she noticed how much screen time our students have during the day as we use Chromebooks to deliver instruction more often that we had done in the past. These blue light glasses can help reduce eye strain and prevent headaches associated with screen time. We want to thank Mrs. Cox for the glasses and the Oreos! Middle School students appreciate the love!
February 24th is our First Semester Recognition Assembly at 2 pm in the commons. We are celebrating our scholar’s list (3.7-4.0 gpa), honor roll (3.3-3.6 gpa) winter athletes, and our Reardan Rising Students (improvement in 2+ classes from 1st to 2nd quarter). We will then segue into our PBIS reward activity for all students with no office/bus referrals and no cell phone violations this month. Our social will consist of music, games, and snacks in the commons. Parents are welcome to attend the Recognition Assembly, just sign in at the elementary office.
First grade teacher Mrs. Nelson has been partnering with Mrs. Vesneske in a reading buddy group. Young readers need time to practice one on one with older readers, and this homeroom activity has been a huge success for all of our students. We can see some of our MS students who would make incredible teachers, and the first graders are sure they are working with rockstars!
Darren Mattozzi and the Natural Helpers students placed positive and inspirational messages on all MS lockers Tuesday, February 7th. This is part of the Only7Seconds campaign. This group knows that connection with others is a win for all of us. We will be doing activities on the 7th of each month. Learn more at : https://only7seconds.com/
