Captains Log
Dear RFMS Families,
It was wonderful to see our students back on campus today! We had a great first day getting to know routines, and working together to set expectations through collaboration between students and teachers.
While the day was a success, we did identify a few areas to fine-tune. To help improve transitions—especially around lunchtime—we are making a few small schedule adjustments. These changes affect lunch assignments only.
Updated schedules will be printed and distributed to students during first period tomorrow. This will ensure every student has the correct lunch and can navigate their day smoothly.
Thank you for your support as we work to make this the best year yet for our students.
Row The Boat,
Jerry Howell
Principal -RFMS
Car Rider Drop Off and Pick Up
We want to remind everyone that we have a car rider drop off and pick up behind the middle school by taking Stadium Drive to Sonny Watkins. This area has staff monitoring and greeting our students. Any parking lots across the road or near the Community Pool do not have staff monitoring. These areas are not designated drop off or pick up locations. Please help us in keeping our students safe by using or designated drop of and pick up location.
