Character Strong
March's Character Trait: Cooperation
This month’s focus is Cooperation. One way to think about Cooperation is “working together to reach shared goals.” We all experience situations in which we must work with others to accomplish a goal or task in our life. This month, students will be discussing tools and strategies they can use when working with a friend or someone new. For additional information regarding CharacterStrong, including our middle school monthly traits, please visit our CharacterStrong & Social Emotional Learning website.
Kindergarten Registration is NOW OPEN!
Kindergarten registration has begun for the 2024-2025 school year. If you have a child who will be joining us in August 2024 for kindergarten, please visit the District’s registration page for directions on how to complete the enrollment process. By enrolling early, parents help us with staffing and class sizes to ensure a smooth start to the school year.
Stay Connected
We will be back with another update in late March. In the meantime, be sure to check us out through both Instagram and Twitter (@RMDolphins)!
