THE RPI PULSE
Your source for all things RPI...February 2, 2020
A quick note from the principals desk...
This week we are launching the Positivity Project as an entire building. Our focus this week will be on the topic of knowing my words and actions affect others. Here is the video announcement that I will be sharing with kids tomorrow.
So, here is my challenge for ALL of this week: Be mindful of the words we use and the expectations and the expectations that they bring.
As one of my heroes in life says “we are all in this thing together and if we don’t take care of each other, who else will?”
Have a great week everyone!
Go Rockets!

Bus Stop Help
We have gotten several calls and emails from parents and concerned about students standing too close to the road in the morning, especially along Giles Road. They have talked about students almost standing in the street and near misses. We have reminding kids to stay back to stay safe, talked about distracted drivers, etc. Please, no matter where your kids wait for the bus, have this conversation with them. Remind them to use the blinking lights that were donated. It takes a village!!
THANK YOU!!

6th Grade Families...Here is information about Middle School Band!!
RPMS Band
As you are considering scheduling - continuing in band has many opportunities available next year. We really take off in middle school which prepares us for the HS Band experience. Students that are coming back to band or are new to an instrument are also welcome!
CONCERT BAND
We meet every day and perform every month! How cool is that? We play over 30 pieces of sheet music throughout the year as well as cover two skill building band books in class. The band performs for school assemblies, Cafe' concerts, Veteran's Day at the Causeway, three different classical concerts at the Rocket Centre and the Band-O-Rama at the HS Arena and most importantly....an occasional recess at Central Elementary! Also, there is an opportunity to earn medals at District Solo & Ensemble Festival.
SYMPHONIC BAND
This is an advanced “performing” band at the middle school. Some advanced 7th graders may be placed in this ensemble as needed. This band is mainly 8th graders.
