KUDOS TO YOU PARENTS FOR SUPPORTING US THROUGH THIS YEAR!
Thank you for all your support this year! You all have endured the ambiguity and constant changes as a result of the pandemic. Thank you for your flexibility and patience! We have been able to end another successful year and send our 8th graders off to high school. We are excited to receive a new bunch of 6th-grade scholars. I thank you for allowing me to serve as your scholar's principal.
Although, you may not hear my voice as often as you normally would over the next two months, please know that I am always here to support you in any way I can. The school will remain open during the summer (please see below for the school's summer hours) and I will always be available. Please feel free to email or call me on my cell. Have a safe and exciting summer break!

Rising 6th Grade Parents Your scholars are invited to the Rising 6th grade Wildcat Training Camp
Greetings!
Parents of Rising 6th Grade Scholars, please register your scholar for this year’s face-to-face Wildcat Training Camp! Those students who take advantage of this opportunity will be able to learn the Wildcat Way and other important expectations before the start of school. Scholars will also have fun at no cost. They will have a chance to meet the 6th grade teachers prior to school starting. They will learn how to find their way around the building, and how to change classes before the first day of school. Additionally, our students will learn how to open their lockers so that they feel more comfortable and at ease when school starts in August. During the camp, we will also encourage your scholar to meet new students and make new friends before the school year begins. The Wildcat Training Camp is scheduled for Monday, August 2, 2021 from 9 AM – 3 PM. Please see the flyer attached to this announcement for further information and for the link to register your scholar today. We hope that you and your scholar stay safe and have an enjoyable Wildcat Summer!

RMS Parents,

- Students who would like to retake a year-long World Language course to clear an incomplete or recover credit with Fulton Virtual
- Students with two or more WF’s, F’s, and/or two or more Incompletes in core content areas (ELA, Math, Science, or Social Studies). Students attending summer school because of incompletes or F’s in Science or Social Studies should register for Reading/ELA.
- Teacher recommendation- students identified through i-Ready Diagnostic for enrichment (students have received a special invitation from the school through the mail)
- Current 8th graders who will be rising to 9th graders next school year are eligible to take acceleration with Fulton Virtual
