1. Please update your contact and emergency information in the 2022-2023 Returning Student Registration found on the Parent Portal. Even if your information hasn't changed, please submit your information annually to keep the information current. This will also help to make sure that you receive notifications and emails from the district and school at the correct contact.

2. This winter season has been a tough one with various illnesses like the common cold, Flu, RSV and some COVID cases. Over break, our wonderful Custodial Staff has deep-cleaned the school and will continue to clean and sanitize classrooms and the cafeteria as well as commonly-touched surfaces multiple times a day. Students are allowed to wear masks in school. Masks are available in the main office. If your child is not feeling well, we recommend that they stay home from school. We ask that parents/guardians please not send students to school with any of the following symptoms: Elevated temperature (fever free for 24 hours without fever reducing medication), Nausea or Vomiting, and Other Symptoms like excessive cough or sore throat accompanied by headache, muscular aches or pain. We appreciate your understanding in trying to keep everyone healthy!

We would like to congratulate the students on the attachment below who have been named to the Principal's Honor Roll, High Honor Roll, and the Honor Roll. Keep up the great work!

RMS has partnered with the Beacon Elks Lodge to recognize students in 6th, 7th and 8th grade each month. Teachers and staff nominate students based on these tenets:

• Demonstrates respect to the student body and faculty and/or honors and respects others' property.
• Exhibits behaviors of an upstander.
• Student is working to his or her potential and/or shows improvement in areas that are challenging.
• Shows a strong commitment to continuing their education.
• Demonstrates acceptance and tolerance of the differences in others.
• Goes above and beyond to show support of others.Demonstrating the ability to work independently.
• Exhibits good time management/organizational skills.

A committee then reads through the nominations and chooses one student for each grade.

Congratulations to the students below!

Check out the pictures below to see some doors that were decorated during our Door Decorating Contest. Our students and staff did a great job planning out and putting together their homeroom doors. Thank you PTO for purchasing and donating various items that were used to help decorate.

If you find yourself wanting to donate clothes, shoes and other items, please consider using our USAgain donation bins. The RMS bins are located in the bus loop parking lot. The positives to using these bins are two-fold: for every bin that is full, USAgain plants 1 tree and two, some money gets raised for our RMS Environmental Club! See the picture below from the USAgain website for some ideas that you may consider donating!
