Mr. Moysey will be teaching 7th Grade Science, taking over all of Ms. Koren's classes as she recently took a new position in her home district. Ms. Koren did a great job at RMS and we wish her the best in her new position. Welcome Mr. Moysey!

Click the button below to view the 24-25 RMS Faculty and Staff Office Hour Times. We advise our students to take advantage of these times with their teachers for a variety of reasons like extra help, test prep, etc.

Although the times are listed, see the teacher you want to meet with or send them a email prior to meeting with them so they can get the appropriate materials together to assist you.

Did you know that Wednesday, September 18, was National Backpack Awareness Day. Check out this video if you would like tips on how to pack your backpack and the safest way to carry it. A student's backpack should never be more than 10% of their body weight. Questions? Reach out to Mrs. Query.

From our Foreign Language Club:

Optimum and Univision Foundation invite middle and high school students to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. In Hispanic culture, traditions such as dance, food or historical and family celebrations, are important ways people connect and reflect on heritage. We also connect to Hispanic culture through media and entertainment, events or relationships with people in our communities.

This year's theme for the Optimum and Univision Foundation's essay is, "choose a person, cultural experience, celebration or tradition that has helped you connect to Hispanic culture and explain what that means to you".

Our first meeting will be on October 2 after school in room E151 for students interested in entering the essay contest.

Last year we had a student from RMS win as a runner-up and she won an Ipad for her beautiful essay.

A Q-R code is attached if you'd like more information. See Ms. DeCandia or Ms. Kwoka with any questions.

We enjoyed meeting parents, caregivers, teachers & administrators at Meet the Teacher Night!

It's not too late to join the PTO! Did you know that this year membership is free!

We would love for you to become a member to get on our email list so you are in the loop of our plans and how you can help us support the RMS community. We can't do all the great things we do without your support of time and donations.
