Our 5th grade RJ students recently visited BMS for campus-wide welcome events like touring elective choices in action, school-wide pep-rally, and much more! Students received their course-selection sheets, and information about the due dates and opportunities to learn more was just recently shared by BMS principal, Mrs. Stewart. Please read the information below if you have a current 5th grader going to Middle School next year:
5th grade parents: please read the message previously sent from BMS Principal, Ms. Stewart:
Dear 5th grade parents,
We enjoyed hosting your 5th grade at our campus on Friday where they attended a pep rally, ate lunch at the middle school, and heard about all of the elective options. Your student should have brought home a course selection sheet for you to preview the elective choices as well.
Thank you for all your participation in our course selection night! Below is the link to the Course Selection form for you and your student to complete by Friday, March 7th. All incoming 6th graders will need to complete this form so we know your elective choices for the 2025-2026 school year.

Thank you, and have a wonderful rest of week!

4th Six-Weeks Grades Viewable & Posted in Family Access:
Your student's grades have posted in Skyward Family Access for the 4th Six-Weeks of school.
Please follow the link below to access your child's grades & attendance reports:
It's that time of year where not only our students need a few reminders about school procedures and expectations. Parents, we need your help in our car lines, both morning and afternoon, to keep both our students and staff members feeling safe.
Please take a moment to refresh yourself on Morning Drop-Off Requirements:
Morning Arrival Routines
- RJR doors open at 7:15am each morning. Students should not be dropped of earlier than 7:15 a.m. due to lack of supervision & for safety reasons. Please do NOT have your child out of a car until RJ staff members are visible outside and doors are open for students.
- Parents, please utilize the front drive for drop-off and stay in your car! The teachers on duty will assist with the unloading of your student. Your student(s) should be prepared to exit the car without parent assistance.
- Our front drive operates like a well-oiled machine and moves quickly after our first few days of school. Please pay attention to and honor our staff's directions as they are most helpful to keep our lines moving.
- There are NO student walk-ups allowed for arrival in the morning. Students dropped off should only occur in the car rider line and not by parking or in the parking lot. The crosswalk is NOT to be utilized by students that are dropped off in the parking lot in an attempt for parents to surpass the car drop-off line.
- Should you need to park to walk your child into the campus, our front office opens at 7:25. Please park in a parking spot and walk with your child to the front office. *please walk your student up to the campus and do NOT send him/her to walk alone.* Our cars are constantly moving and are focused on drop-off areas and are not always paying attention to any crossing traffic.
- The back and side doors on campus are for bus riders only. The front doors are for car riders.
- The back parking lot is for staff only and bus transportation. This is NOT a drop-off area for students or for parents wanting to avoid the car-rider line.
Attendance Incentive Partner @ RJ Richey
RJ Parents,
We know that attendance is hard for students and parents, especially during the winter months where weather and illness can effect us all. We thank all of our Bulldog families that prioritize student health and wellness first but also help to ensure students are at school when they can be.
We are excited to partner with Itsy-Bit Aracade & Game Room to host additional Perfect Attendance Rewards for our students for the upcoming 5th & 6th Six-Weeks of our school year!
Thank you to Itsy-Bit Micro Arcade in Burnet for helping us to offer additional incentives for our Bulldogs!
