Brief Message From the Principal
We had a fantastic full week back from Spring Break! It was wonderful to see all the students return refreshed and ready to learn.
As we move forward, we want to emphasize the importance of being at school every day. Consistent attendance helps students stay engaged and continue building important skills.
Additionally, we are reinforcing RAMS WAY Expectations, encouraging students to be respectful, always responsible, motivated, and safe in all areas of our school, at home, and beyond. Your support in reminding your child of these expectations at home is greatly appreciated!
With spring weather bringing a mix of temperatures, please have your child dress in layers to ensure they are comfortable throughout the day.
Thank you for your continued support! Please reach out if you have any questions.
🎉 ATTENDANCE MATTERS! We need our students at school every day! 🏆
Respectfully,
- Mr. Miller
