Safety & Communication!
Please remember that your children are still children - even though they seem so mature at times. Remind them to follow the laws when biking to school - always wear a helmet, ride at a safe speed and in the same direction as traffic, cross legally (not in the middle of the street).

Also, remember that your children still need you in their lives. While they might roll their eyes and say “nothing” when you ask what they did at school today, they really do have things to share with you. Ask them who they’re hanging out with at school & where they go after school. Ask if they had a group project in their class, and who was in their group. You’ll find they might initially be reluctant to talk about the social aspects of their day, but that’s where a large part of their focus is at this age. The important part of including yourself in their lives is listening and not always judging- which is difficult but necessary.

Good communication is what creates a strong supportive environment for everyone.

Have a wonderful Spring Break!

Principal's Corner - Mar 14

Updated Mon, Mar 26th

State testing is almost here! The window begins immediately after Spring Break- April 16^th. We have not officially set our testing dates at this time, but are looking at possibly beginning either April 23 or 30. Testing will continue for 2-3 weeks after that. We will post our schedule as soon as we have our dates set. Please remember to limit appointments (if possible) in order to provide as little disruption to your child’s testing schedule as possible.

On another note, we always want to be good neighbors in our community. Please do not take “short cuts” through neighboring properties when dropping off or picking up your child at school. We’ve also had a number of incidents reported after school at Safeway involving our students. Please remember we have no supervision on private property, especially after school and off campus. Picking up your child in a timely manner or having your child walk home immediately after school is always the best option.

Volunteers Needed - Grades 7, 6, & 5

Updated Wed, Apr 4th

Dear RHMS Family,
This call for volunteers is directed to all grades -- 5th, 6th, 7th & 8th.

http://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090b45a5a62ea1fe3-8thgrade

The 8th grade Promotion Party and Promotion Day event only happen when all our families come together to support each other. This is a long standing tradition at RHMS and it is one worth holding on to. Your time and donations are urgently needed. We need 7th grade families to volunteer to chair the two committees and we need 5th, 6th and 7th grade families in particular to help. Our 8th grade families are invited to help with the Yearbook signing party, but they are not allowed to help on June 13, 2018. They are to enjoy the ceremony and celebrate their promoting 8th grader. This is a very special occasion for both student and family.

IMPORTANT: If you have already signed up, please log in again and check for shift times and specific food or item requests. Mark your choices.

Please, pay it forward... support our 8th grade students and families so that when you are in 8th grade others will step up and support you. If you have volunteered before, you are especially asked to volunteer again and help train those that are coming up next.

On behalf of all promoting 8th graders, who have been dreaming of these events, your participation is deeply appreciated.

Sincerely,
The Class of 2018
The Executive PTA Board Volunteers of 2017-18
Blesilda Ilano-Tenorio. 5th grade Teacher, Staff Advisor
Sujatha Raghu, 8th grade Science teacher, Staff Advisor

p.s. You may find that you receive this request twice, please forgive us, we are sending this to all RHMS families, and all people who specifically said they would volunteer their time and talents

This event is THAT Important. :-)
