We appreciate our students and families for supporting RTMS after-school activities and sporting events. Please help us maintain a positive and respectful environment at every event.

Please remember:

• Students must leave campus after dismissal and return for the event.
• Tickets are required for all sporting events. Purchase tickets through GoFan.
• Students must follow all school expectations and demonstrate appropriate behavior.
• Positive cheering is encouraged. Derogatory comments and unsportsmanlike conduct will result in removal from the game.
• FBISD follows the Texas Way for fan expectations. Texas Way Fan Expectations
• Parents/guardians must pick up students within 10 minutes of the event ending.
• Repeated behavior concerns or late pick-ups may result in the loss of the privilege to attend future events.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership!

Your child's NWEA MAP Growth scores are now available in Skyward in the Test Result tile. These assessments are given during the school year to help teachers understand what your child knows and what they are ready to learn next. For help accessing scores, please see the attached Skyward Job Aid for Parents. This year’s MAP Growth scores are based on updated national norms. The new national norms make sure your child’s MAP Growth results reflect how students across the country are performing today, giving teachers a more accurate picture for setting growth goals.

RTMS is an in-person campus, and regular attendance is essential to student success. Assignments are not provided in advance for planned or extended absences. Once the student returns, the teacher, student, and parent can work together on a plan to address missed work and help the student get back on track. Thank you for partnering with us to support your child’s attendance and academic success.
