Rincon Community News #14
November 8, 2025
Greetings Rincon Community,
We started the week by Celebrating Día de Los Muertos at RMS. On Monday morning, our wonderful community came together to honor this cherished tradition by creating a stunning Día de Los Muertos altar in the quad area! Our students, staff, and community appreciated the beauty, culture, and memories shared through this beautiful altar.
A heartfelt thank you to our amazing parents, staff, and advanced art students who collaborated beautifully to design this vibrant mural. Their teamwork and creativity truly brought this celebration to life! A huge appreciation to Miss Josephson for the vision and leading this remarkable display of culture and tradition.
Attendance & No Tardy Challenge
Perfect attendance and no tardy are improving. In September, we recognized 202 students for showing up daily and arriving to all classes on time with ice cream treats. For October, that number increased to 222 students were celebrated with ice cream treats.
We’re excited to kick off our November Perfect Attendance and No Tardy Challenge! This three-week initiative encourages all students to be present and punctual each day.
Those who meet the challenge criteria will be invited to celebrate with their peers at our Ice Cream Social the last 15 - minutes of the school day in the Pavilion on Friday, November 21st.
Let’s make every day count—your commitment matters!
VETERANS DAY
No School on November 11th for Veterans Day
On this day, we honor the brave men and women who have served and sacrificed to protect our freedom. Their courage, dedication, and commitment to our nation will never be forgotten. Thank you to all veterans for your service and for defending the values we hold dear.
This day is an important opportunity for us to come together as a community to recognize the sacrifices made by veterans, and to teach our children about the values of courage, service, and dedication. We encourage you to take a moment to talk with your children about the significance of this day and share any personal connections to veterans or military service within your own families. Together, let’s help our students understand the impact of service and instill a deep appreciation for those who have given so much for our country.
Celebrating Native American Heritage Month
Dear Families,
November is Native American Heritage Month — a special time to honor and celebrate the rich histories, diverse cultures, and important contributions of Native American and Indigenous peoples.
This month connects to our school values of Respect and Kindness, reminding us to appreciate and learn from the many cultures that shape our beautiful community.
