Rincon Community News #3
August 24, 2025
Greetings Rincon Community,
What a wonderful start to our first week! Rincon teachers with Dr. Ibarra sparked joy and hundreds of smiles on our first day back. Bubbles, cheers, clapping, music set the tone for this year. We are cultivating joy of learning. Here’s to a fantastic school year and deepen sense of belonging.
Rincon’s enrollment is at or beyond maximum capacity currently in multiple classrooms, and we are working to balance class sizes in the coming days. Schedule changes will need to be made for some students to achieve the required class size balancing. Our goal is to make these class placement moves next week.
Please consider joining the Rincon PTSA to remain informed and involved in school events. Membership is $10. Our PTSA supports family connectedness and a positive learning environment at Rincon Middle School. Find more information below.
In addition to weekly phone messages, refer to text messages, the Rincon Middle School website, and our school marquee for additional messaging to families regarding important information and school events. I look forward growing our Rincon Community partnership and creating the most amazing learning environment for our students.
Picture Day
It’s Almost Time! Your School’s Picture Days Are
Monday, August 25, 2025
Monday, September 29, 2025 (make-up day)
Students will be escorted by P.E. teachers to the MPR for their picture.
To Do: Plan your outfit and hairstyle and practice your smile.
Please, don’t wear green.
The green screen lets you choose your background when you order your photos, but it also makes green clothes disappear.
A few days after picture day, you’ll get an email letting you know that your pictures are ready.

Attendance Matters
Attendance is the foundation for all learning, and we want to partner with you to for ensuring that your learner arrives on time each day with a fully charged iPad before 8:00 a.m. Classes begin promptly at 8:00 a.m. and together we can set our students up for success.
Drop - Off & Pick - Up
Safety is priority for all of us. I thank parents and guardians for their support with safe student drop offs and pick-ups each day. Please be sure to pull all the way forward as far as possible when using our drive through lane. This helps to alleviate bottlenecks and keeps the flow of traffic moving smoothly into our campus at drop off and pick up times.
No Parking Zones
Let's keep everyone safe.
Please be respectful of the no parking zones in and around our school campus.
Message From our Nurse
It is always a pleasure to care for your children each school year.
As the school nurse, my job is to help keep your child healthy. My door is always open to discuss any health problems you may have. Children learn best when they are healthy, well rested, and have had nutritious meals and snacks. Click here
