During the week of September 23rd, RMS will conduct safety protocol reviews and practices. Each day will focus on a different protocol, including walking to the designated Rally Point and simulating emergency sounds. These activities will help ensure that everyone is familiar with the procedures to follow in case of an emergency, making our school a safe, and secure place to learn and work.

September Goal: Build Trusted and Connected Relationships

This month, we’re focusing on empathy and challenging students to make sure that everyone they interact with feels seen, heard, and valued. We are partnering with you to grow and develop empathy in your student at home. As a family, use these activities to reflect on and better understand the needs of others. (See attached.)

All incoming 7th graders are required to have updated immunizations or waiver before the start of the school year. Please be sure to check the list below to be sure your student is up to date. Below are links with more information. Waivers must be turned into the office.
