Dear RMS Community,
Please read the following information to stay connected:
We hope you have enjoyed the weekend with your family! This week is the start of the NWEA Maps Growth Test. The test gives us information on where students are in regards to Reading and Math Skills. Students should give their best effort as the data guides our instruction and also helps build stamina for the Spring ACT Aspire Test.
Virtual Parent Teacher Conference Sign Up Links will come by September 22, 2020. Please take a moment to sign up and meet virtually with teachers you need to chat with in regards to your child’s progress in class.
End of The Day Advisory- Parents please inform your child that the end of the day is 4:05 for all students. Virtual students should not log off after 7th period classes and think that the day is over. If a student does not attend virtually for Advisory, they will be counted absent. We use Advisory to support intervention/ enrichment classes.
Lastly, the RMS Volleyball Game will be at Jacksonville Middle School. We wish the girls the best!
Have a great Sunday!
RMS Team

The first NWEA MAP growth assessment begins this week. These evaluations guide teachers on how to help students continue to learn. We've added a section on our website with tips for traditional and virtual students: http://ow.ly/im1K50BqlZM #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence

Afternoon Families- Here are a few reminders...
1. Chromebook damages can be expensive, so please consider purchasing insurance to cover any damages that occur throughout the year. The deadline to purchase insurance is September 18, 2020.

2. Due to the increase number of students coming to school traditionally and in order to maintain physical distancing, some students will attend class on campus, but may receive instruction from classroom teachers virtually. All traditional students need to have a headphone in case they are listening to teachers virtually.
3. Thank you for your continued support as we work out technology issues. All Schoology passwords for parents should have arrived today. Inform 2nd period teachers if you did not receive your parent access code.
Have a great day! Go Senators!!!

Great news for our PCSSD families: we are now able to offer FREE meals thanks to a recent USDA waiver. That means our virtual, blended and traditional students can eat breakfast & lunch for free through Dec. 31! http://ow.ly/GmaQ50Bh7HE #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence


Evening Families- Attached below is the link to be used in case students need additional supports for logging into classrooms. Most teachers have already been communicating with students via Schoology. We have added this link to ensure all students understand how to get into classrooms in order to participate in the classroom and instruction being provided. After this week, each teacher will communicate with students through the virtual tools. Can’t wait to see our Senators tomorrow!

Dear RMS Families-
Due to increased enrollment & the need to continue practicing physical distance it is necessary that we make adjustments to student’s schedules. This process has begun and the majority of adjustments should be complete by the end of the week (September 4, 2020).
Please be patient with us with the understanding that we are doing everything humanly possible to navigate these adjustments as efficiently & effectively as possible.
Please note that the counseling department is not making and cannot make any additional schedule changes until this process has been completed. Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education. We appreciate your valued support during this transition.
Sincerely,
RMS Team
