Evening RMS Families,
Last week was the beginning of our Reading Challenge. All students are expected to read 5 days a week 30 minutes per night. The information needs to be logged via their Social Studies Classes as provided by teachers. This is a part of students grades as well. Please check with your child and make sure they log the minutes read for last week and incoming weeks. RMS Admin Team will be working with students to personally set goals for incoming assessments. More information will come in the newsletter on Friday! Have a great night.
Happy Groundhog Day! Do you want 6 more weeks of winter?
