The staff at Rosemount Middle School are committed to providing a strong focus on academic learning for all our students.

As in the past, during the last 20 school days, students receiving two or more behavioral referrals will not be eligible to participate in year-end celebration field trips.

Student Services will track this information as well as communicate this to students, families and our grade-level leadership.

Grade level leadership teams will plan an alternative in-school day for students unable to attend the celebration field trip.

On Monday, May 12th, all 8th graders will be walking to RHS for a welcome tour, and activities fair from 9:45am - 11:00am.

Students will go the Performing Arts Center at RHS and will hear from administrators and student leaders about what to expect at RHS.

Student leaders will give tours, and 8th graders will have a chance to learn about all of the RHS clubs, sports and activities by visiting the activities fair led by RHS students.

All Choir Concerts are located at RMS in the MPR (Cafeteria)

Optional Disclaimer:

Vaping is prohibited in schools, and to promote safety and well-being, District 196 is installing vape detectors in restrooms, effective Monday, April 21. We are strategically starting with areas where we have seen a consistent need for increased supervision.

Our goals are:

• Start conversations with students before consequences are necessary
• To prevent more serious behavior issues often associated with vaping (e.g., bullying, agitation, addiction).
• To use time and location data to interrupt behaviors or adjust supervision in specific areas.
• To encourage families to talk with students about vaping and healthy choices.
• To work together with families to foster safe, healthy, and supportive schools for all learners.

By increasing supervision and early intervention, we can support students in making informed, positive decisions about their health and maintain a positive school environment.

Vape detectors have been in place for the past few years at Rosemount and Eagan High Schools, where they have proven helpful for maintaining a safe school. The additional vape detectors are funded by the 2023 Bond Referendum to improve safety, security, and supervision.

If you have questions or want more information, please feel free to reach-out.
