To RMS Families,

It has been a great start to the year at RMS! Last Friday was the end of the first marking period and with that we are looking forward to our upcoming conferences. Student Progress Conferences will be held on Monday, November 25, and Tuesday, November 26. Conferences scheduled for the afternoon on 11/25 and 11/26 will be virtual, and all evening conferences on 11/25 will be in-person. Please note if you have extenuating circumstances and require accommodations to meet the teacher, please contact your student’s guidance counselor.

Our students will follow a half-day schedule on November 25th and November 26th. The early dismissal time for Rombout Middle School will be 11:10 AM. We will be serving lunch on both days at RMS.

Caregiver-Teacher afternoon conference times on Monday, November 25, and Tuesday, November 26, will be from 12:10pm until 2:50pm. (Afternoon conferences are virtual)

Caregiver-Teacher conference times on the evening of Monday, November 25, will be from 5pm until 8pm. (Evening conferences are in person)

As in years past, Rombout Middle School will be utilizing our Pick-a-Time system to schedule conferences.

The Pick-a-Time system will open to all RMS families beginning on Monday, November, 18th, 2024 at 6pm.

Sincerely,

Mr. Soltish

1. November 21st - Foreign Language Club is meeting.

Ms. Winther's class celebrated Native American Heritage month by completed a Native American home S.T.E.M challenge. They needed to research and create a Native American home based off of the geographical region their chosen Native American tribe lived in. They tested the homes on Friday to see if they passed the guidelines set by the challenge. They were creative and had fun!

Our PBIS Committee put together the form below (click button to access) for any student or family member to recognize any or all faculty/staff members that they are thankful for!

Use the button below to fill out the form and a "Thankful" Certificate will be generated, printed, and given to that faculty/staff member! This can be for any adult in the building!

Mrs. Laderach’s social studies classes had a chance to experience what it may have been like to be a scribe in Mesopotamia. Students tried their hand at writing in cuneiform with a stylus on clay. Many found out it was much harder than anticipated, but still a lot of fun!

Our next PTO meeting is Tuesday 12/3 at 7pm in the RMS Library. Come and chat with us about what is going on in RMS and how we can help support the amazing students and staff.

There is still time to volunteer at the Book Fair run by the fabulous RMS Librarian. Check out our sign up link https://signup.com/go/PtuyXcL.

We are still in need of volunteers and food donations for the PTO concession stand during the dance this Friday 11/22. Sign up using this link https://signup.com/go/PXtdYTq
