March 7th- Eighth Grade Pre-Registration talks with students & teachers (Counselors come to RMS)

Good Afternoon-

I hope you all have been staying warm this week. We will begin letting students into the gymnasium prior to 7:15 on some of our colder mornings coming up. Please remind your son or daughter to wear a coat to school each day. If you need resources for a coat, please contact the office, and we can support you.

Grades will close for B1 this Friday, January 24th. We also have our Snowflake Social this Friday.

There is no school on Monday, January 27th due to a teacher workshop. Teachers will be working on professional development focused on instruction, career readiness, and technology.

Have a great week!

Respectfully,

Ryan Gilpatrick
