School News

In an effort to better serve our students, RHMS teachers have adopted a daily live Homeroom and a rotating block schedule.  While homeroom is twenty minutes, our block schedule will consist of a minimum of thirty minutes per period of live instruction on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.

We appreicate everyone's patience as we continue to work through a number of moving pieces, including enrollment and staffing.  As more information is confirmed, including windows of time to collect materials for a successful year, we will share.

RHMS Rotating Block Schedule

While we welcome summer, we recognize that this summer is full of uncertainty.... and that is not easy for anyone.

Learning continues all summer long!
To support, CUSD has created Choice Boards... suggested activities aimed at touching upon academics, physical health, and emotional well-being.  The following link takes families to the COVID-19 Resource page.  Under "Weekly Enrichment," families will find suggest academic activities that are grouped by grade level.  Further down, families will find a "Wellness Focus" and a "Weekly Wellness Activities" link.  These are aimed at supporting our students' social emotional development.

Additionally, RHMS has a year subscription to the online IXL math program.

There are also a number of novels from which to choose at the Santa Clara County Library.  It is our understanding they have e-Books as well as potentially curbside pick up.  For more information, please contact the Santa Clara County Library system.

Walking and running and biking are all healthy activities that are proven to keep us physically and emotionally healthy.  There are also dozens of websites that feature at home workouts, such as those based upon the HIIT concept, high intensity interval training.

While we will be working to define the opening of school, we do know that students' first official day is Thursday, August 20th.

As the state, county, and CUSD make decisions that impact RHMS, we will be sharing them via our website and School Messenger.  Please check your email every few weeks for updates.  If you should have any questions, you may reach out to the district office at 408-364-4200.

We appreciate all that you do to support your children, and we wish you all a happy and safe summer.

There are many videos and links for students and families this week.  We hope the information helps everyone navigate the last several days of school and into the summer.

At this point, we expect our yearbook shipment to arrive from Tennessee late this week.  There is no ETA for the 8th Grade Panorama Picture.  We will communicate with all families the manner in which you may collect one or both of these once we confirm receipt and determine quantities.  There are a few dozen extra yearbooks for interested families that may be purchased at school.

Video for 8th Grade Drop off and Pick Up

Good evening, families.  This week's video details how we hope parents enter campus as RHMS collects important items, and where we want parents to park if a child left something of value in the locker room or classroom.  If a child needs to enter campus, we ask that he or she wears a mask.  And if you have two or more children at RHMS in different grade levels, we'd suggest that they arrive during the 8th grade window if at all possible.

As the video indicates, yearbooks have yet to arrive.  We will let families know when they do and create a separate collection location.

Parents, please remember that teacher assigned learning continues through June 4th, while Flexible Learning, assigned by CUSD, will start on the 5th.

Should you have questions, the office will be available to take calls at 408-364-4200 extension 5150.

We hope that you are all very well.

Mr. Cribari and Mrs. Vanderbosch
