Important Message from our PTA Board and Principal

Updated Mon, Jul 29th

Thank you to the 20 families who have thus far donated to the RHMS Educational Fund at this site.  The RHMS Ed Fund directly supports student with important experiences such as:

  • Educational assemblies and field trips unique to each grade level.
  • Robust after school club offerings featuring art, ping pong, yearbook, leadership, disc golf, and more.
  • School-wide events, including Career Day and lunch BBQs to celebrate achievement and growth.
  • Teacher classroom supplies and online programs to support learning and engagement.

While the Ed Fund's suggested dollar amount is $150 per child, there is also corporate matching available.  We hope you can donate any dollar amount to our important RHMS Educational Fund.

Thank you also to the 52 current RHMS PTA members who joined our PTA at this site.  Joining the PTA enables families voting rights for PTA decisions, including who represents its Board and its budget.  Joining the PTA is independent of donating to the Ed Fund.

Update to what RHMS sent earlier...

School Site Council

Updated Mon, Jul 29th

Due to circumstances, we are looking for four parents to be on our School Site Council.  On paper, it is a two year gig.

SSC is an advisory group of teachers, parents, and administrators who work together to monitor a school's LCAP (Local Control and Accountability Plan).  It specifically addresses instruction, social emotional learning, and parent engagement.

There are five staff members and five community members who comprise the team.  (If there is a parent who is also an employee, that person may fill only one role.)

There are typically four or five meetings spread between October and late May.  Each meeting is generally 30-45 minutes immediately after school, with an agenda that is a template created by CUSD for all schools to follow.

Should you have the desire to support this process, please reach out to Mr. Cribari at tcribari [at] campbellusd.org or reply to this PSQ.  Our first SSC meeting is loosely calendared in two weeks.

Book Fair and Conference Week

Updated Mon, Jul 29th

Realizing hosting over 800 conferences is a lift, we will again offer the gym as a spot for our 7th and 8th grade families to dialogue with teachers.  Tables and chairs will be set up for private conversations.  Please be mindful that the initial opening at 1:30 may have a higher number of families than towards the middle or end of the time slot.  Doors to the gym will close at 3:30 so that the final entrants may have sufficient time to meet with teachers until 4:00 pm.  If a slot does not work conveniently for you, we are open to you finding a more suitable time.

Conference Week Schedule

Sixth grade families have more targeted invitations, as there are considerably less teachers to involve.  For sixth grade families who wish to meet with elective teachers, they will be available in the gym starting at 1:30.

The RHMS Book Fair will also be run during Conference Week.  A digital flyer from scholastic is here.  For those community members who wish to help our librarian and have contacted her, our lunch schedule follows... page three.

Updates for September 25th...

Updated Mon, Jul 29th

This is an exciting week, as we have several "things" planned.

On Monday and Tuesday we will be working to finalize iReady results, as we pull students who have yet to complete the assessment.

Wednesday will feature Student Focus Groups.  It is our chance to hear from randomly selected 6th, 7th, and 8th graders... what's working, what can be leveraged, and how our students would describe the initial six weeks of school.  Three teachers, as part of our Instructional Leadership Team, our Equity Coach, two other specialists, and RHMS administration will have an opportunity to visit with students and have a genuine dialogue.

We will also share with students our Club slideshow during fourth period and on Schoology on Wednesday.  This same link will be shared with families and on Thursday at 6:00, online sign ups will open.

Friday?  It's our first BBQ to celebrate the conclusion of iReady and our six week point!  Thank you to the several people who have volunteered to pull this off!

Remember, the week of October 2nd features our Parent Teacher Conferences.  We will communicate another reminder later this week.
