Recorded from home and stitched together this weekend by Mr. Aguayo, we hope that you enjoy our several chorus and music classes performing an array of songs, including... Rain Dance, Autumn Gives Her Hand to WInter, I'm Yours, Scarborough Fair, and Irish Blessing.
Have a fabulous week.
Ted Cribari and Amy Vanderbosch

Please take a moment to read information from CUHSD regarding its enrollment processes. Because CUSD and CUHSD are two separate districts, most high school related questions should be aimed towards its phone numbers and emails.
As has been practice, RHMS will work to ensure our students who are rostered to attend Westmont and likely Del Mar and Prospect have an opportunity to work with academic counselors to request appropriate classes for the fall of 2021. This historically happens in February.
Held in English, there will also be Spanish translation to facilitate dialogue with our predominately Spanish speaking ELD community. We will discuss the Rolling Hills Middle School ELD plan and determine a needs assessment.

Our music instructors, Mr. Aguayo and Mr. Rawlinson, are proud to share with our community the hard work of our advanced musicians. While they would like to have hosted a live concert, this is arguably as amazing. Our musicians performed individual parts at home. Stitched together by our teachers, the musicians then "played" together on Zoom to create a virtual concert! There are creative solutions to everything!
We hope you enjoy their performances. Have a safe weekend, families.
-Mr. Cribari and Mrs. Vanderbosch

We're almost a month into the 2020-2021 school year. Last night's Back-To-School Night was a success, with hundreds of families logging in to participate in homeroom Zoom meetings and watch videos from our teachers, plus an administrators' welcome. If you missed our event, we invite you to watch the contents of the slideshow linked here.
In School Messenger this week, we are asking for our families to give us feedback about their experiences with Distance Learning so far. This is a link to that survey. We invite you to help us continuously improve our efforts for your children.
In homeroom, our students have learned about the value and guidelines of writing Email. We have heard from families about the need to help our students connect to each other in Distance Learning. Beginning today, students will be able to collaborate with one another via school Email. The protocol for student Email addresses is very straightforward. We invite you to review your family's expectations for Email use with your child, and we want to remind you that student communication is monitored by a safety screening system.
Asking neighboring schools and parents about their Back to School Night experiences this year, we've decided to feature the best of both worlds... some live aspects and some that are pre-recorded, able to be viewed at a later date and time. This allows families with multiple children and other families with competing commitments time to "breathe."
Starting at 6:30 pm, Wednesday 9/16, your child's homeroom teacher will lead introductions and general summaries. Homeroom teachers are available to answer potential questions as the Zoom links will remain open until 7:15. During this timeframe, homeroom teachers will post a link to a Google Slideshow in the chat. The slideshow features individual iMovies, Screencasts, and YouTube videos from school administration and teachers for parents to follow at their leisure.
Homeroom teachers will email families the BTSN Homeroom Zoom link by Tuesday evening. Please be sure to check the emails you provided and hopefully keep updated with CUSD.
BSTN will officially end by 7:15, and at 7:30 our RHMS PTA will have its first September Zoom meeting for anyone to join. The code will be attached in the Google Slideshow.
Though not the same as welcoming over 1,000 adults to our campus, we are eager to share our message.
