Wishing everyone a safe and enjoyable weekend!

What is Leader in Me?

You are your child’s first and most influential teacher by laying the foundation for the education of their mind, heart, body, and spirit. Take the lead at home by teaching and modeling principles of effectiveness for all family members.

No matter what is going on at school you can help your child discover the leader within themselves and prepare for a future of contribution and service. Learning and using the universal principles of 7 Habits creates a common vocabulary.

From the Wrestling Tournament on 12/21 – RRMS finished with 3 Champions, Khayden Patton, Amir McGee and Nathan Moore. We had 2 second place finishers in Lyndon Boyd and Jayden Joseph. Mason Cogar finished 3rd and Demario Hemphill finished 4th. In the Team Score race we finished 3rd with 187 points, behind Dorman (189.5) and Catawba Ridge (245)

Mrs Polk, Media Specialist, had a fantastic interactive lesson to go along with the book "The Mitten". UP2 students put the animals from the book in their very own mitten.

Report Cards will be sent home with students on Monday, January 13th!

Info for 8th grade Parents and Caregivers from Ms. Atkinson:

Individual Graduation Plan (IGP) Sign-Ups have begun! IGPs are 30-minute meetings that you will have every year from now until your student is a senior in high school. The purpose of the IGP is to select the courses your child will take in the next school year. We can meet in person or over zoom. If you choose to meet in person, please bring your ID so that you can be checked in, and report to the media center. Students and caregivers will meet with a school counselor: (Last Names A-G: Ms. Atkinson; H-O: Mrs. Cunningham; P-Z: Ms. Jenkins).

Conferences will take place between February 4th and February 25th. I will be going into your child's classes in the next week to discuss what the IGP process will look like for them. If you have any additional questions, please let me know. We are looking forward to helping your student reach the next important step on their educational journey. Please use the following links to sign up:
