1. Chorus Meeting
2. i-Ready Family Information Night
Join us on Wednesday, August 19 from 5:30–6:30 p.m. for an informative session designed to help families better understand their child's i-Ready Diagnostic results and how the assessment supports student learning and placement. Whether you're new to i-Ready or would simply like a better understanding of your child's results, this session will provide valuable information and an opportunity to have your questions answered. Please RSVP here.
3. AVID Signing Night
4. Honor Roll Spring 2026
Keep your eyes on the front office and cafeteria walls for our new honor roll banners celebrating current 7th and 8th graders! On Aug. 28, we will celebrate current 7th and 8th graders that earned either all A's or all A's and B's last year. Parents should not attend, but we are looking for a few volunteers HERE.
5. Update: RCMS Foundation Parent Party and Auction
Due to an unplanned last minute price increase from the parent party venue, we are postponing the Parent Party and planning to run our Auction later this fall. Stay tuned for updates and exciting news from the Foundation! If you purchased tickets to the event, you will be refunded. Thank you for your support! Go Panthers!

9. Cafeteria Meal Prices & Free/Reduced Meal Applications
