An email was sent out on June 4th regarding our Culture and Climate Survey. To help us strengthen the learning environment at Robert Adams Middle School, we invite you complete the survey linked below. Your feedback will guide our efforts to ensure RAMS is a safe, supportive, and inclusive space for all students. The survey includes questions about teaching and learning, school safety, relationships, and parent involvement, and will remain open through Wednesday, June 18, 2025. If you need the form translated into your native language please you can follow the instructions below to translate the form within your browser by right clicking (or two-finger clicking) anywhere in the form and selecting translate. More detailed instructions with images linked below. Thank you for being a vital part of the RAMS community!

Friendly reminder to please fill out the online dismissal form linked below if you are picking your child up during the school day. The form should be filled out prior to picking your child up. Thank you!

As we near the end of the school year, we’re asking for your help! Please take a moment to check at home for any school library books that may still be hiding on shelves, under beds, or in backpacks. Returning books now helps us get ready for next year and ensures all students have access to our full collection.

Thank you for supporting our readers and our library!

Hello 8th grade families,

It is hard to believe the end of the school year is less than a month away! The PTO is throwing a party to celebrate the end of Middle School on Wednesday, June 18, from 6 pm to 8 pm on the field behind the school (commonly called the "Laps at Lunch" field). There's no school on June 19th, so plenty of time to sleep in the next day!

We need two things from you:

• We need adult volunteers! If you’re available, please sign up by June 8 to help supervise and run the party on this sign up sheet

  Purchase tickets online at https://givebutter.com/RAMS8thGradeParty or have your 8th grader bring cash to buy them during lunch from Wednesday, 6/11, through Tuesday, 6/17.

Tickets are $20 each and include hot dogs, hamburgers, ice cream truck, Candy Bar, Class of 2029 swag, photo booth, and field games. We want everyone to come, so if the ticket cost represents a barrier to your child's attendance please reach out to or any member of the administrative team for financial aid. Any profit from the event will go to the Class of 2029 to be used for their high school class activities.

Thanks!

Catie Ehret & Karla Alfred, Class of 2029 PTO Coordinators

Evie Thibault, RAMS PTO Chair

Please remind your Middle School student to bring a reusable water bottle to school each day. Staying hydrated helps with focus, energy, and overall well-being.

If your RAMS student will be staying for ANY after-school activity (i.e. sports, clubs, etc.) and has a rescue medication prescribed (i.e. Epipen, inhaler, seizure rescue medication, etc.), please check-in with the school nurse as soon as possible to make a plan for after-school activities, since typically no nurse is in the building after dismissal. We encourage all of our students to carry their own EpiPens and/or inhalers, however consent to self-carry MUST be on file with the school nurse each academic year. We also strongly encourage parents/guardians to reach out to the responsible adult who will be supervising their student in that after-school activity to ensure that adult is aware of the medical diagnosis and any applicable rescue medications. Thank you!

Reminder for a parent/guardian to ask themselves before their student participates in an after-school activity:

• Does your student have any prescribed RESCUE medication that may need to be administered, such as epinephrine auto injector, inhaler, seizure medication, diabetic management medication, or other life-threatening condition medication?

• Does your student have any important medical conditions that staff should be aware of? Please provide ALL information, even if this information has already been provided to the school.

Please see the links below to learn more about the services offered by Holliston Youth and Family Services. You can also visit their website at https://www.townofholliston.us/youth-and-family-services.

If your child will not be in or late to school, you have several options for reporting your child's absence or tardiness. Please be aware that if you report your child's absence or tardiness by 9:15 a.m., you will not receive a notification from Bright Arrow indicating that your child has been reported absent.

• Call in your child's absence tardiness. Our RAMS Absentee mailbox is (508) 429-0657; press option 3. Please leave your child's name, grade, and reason for your child's absence.

• Email us your child's absence or tardiness. Send an email to ramsattendance@holliston.k12.ma.us. Again, please leave your child's name and grade and the reason for your child's absence.

• If you are dismissing your child early, please be sure to fill out the online dismissal form linked below!

There are two late buses: A and B, and they arrive at 4:00 p.m. Clubs will run until 3:30, and after that, students can head to the lobby to wait or go outside for the buses. Walkers, bike riders, and parent pickups can leave at 3:30. If students are being picked up between 3:45 and 4:00 p.m., their ride must use the loop on the side of the building to allow buses to pull in and safely load students.
