We had a wonderful turnout for our Books and Brats library fundraiser. So far, this Book Faire is turning out to be the best ever, surpassing last year’s record-breaking numbers. Thank you to all that participated! Stay tuned for information on our Spring Book Faire.
Coming soon is our fabulous Movie Night, the RHMS version of a drive-in! We’ll be showing the feature film Hotel Transylvania, a wonderful cartoon for all ages. All students are welcome (not just RHMS) as long as an adult (for supervision) accompanies them. Bring your folding chairs, your blankets, and your pillows so you can sit, lay down, stretch out under the stars and enjoy a great movie on our giant screenin the quad (it’s the only time we allow pajamas at school). The movie is free, but food is available for purchase. PTA will be selling pizza, popcorn, candy, drinks- lots of items, with all proceeds going towards sixth grade science camp. Help support our kids and enjoy a family evening of fun in the RHMS quad.
SBAC results were recently mailed! Please be sure to review your child’s test results with them. If you have questions, jot them down so you’ll have them for your child’s conference.
And yes, it’s time for conferences. Conference week is October 19-23. If you would like a conference with your child’s teachers, please be sure to return the necessary forms. And remember: everyday of conference week is a minimum day, with school ending at 1:57. Please, pick up your children after school (and please don’t send them to Safeway for treats).
Enjoy your three day weekend!

Please take a moment to answer a short survey* about our school and district websites.
Campbell Union School District redesigned its school and district websites to be easier to use on all types of digital devices AND to make it easier for parents to find the information they seek most often. Your answers to survey will help us reach those expectations and to refine and improve our websites for those who use them. The survey closes October 16th.

Yes, it’s finally here! Our Books and Bratwurst Night on Tuesday, October 6th! All proceeds from this evening will go towards our school library. I will be selling food tickets that night, so stop by, say hi, buy dinner, and have a wonderful family evening!
We have a new and improved way to show academic videos on you tube! I’m not sure I understand all the specifics (and I don’t need to) but we are now able to show short informational clips without advertisements when using our district server. Our technology department has worked hard to support our learning community by enabling our students have access to the web while ensuring websites and videos are educationally appropriate. Wouldn’t that be nice to have at home? Internet safety is always on our mind but more and more I’ve heard families discussing the “appropriateness” of what comes up on a search engine. Technology is a truly a double-edged sword.
Also, I’d like to send a gentle reminder to always check your child’s cell phone pictures and videos. Yes, I know we want to protect their privacy, but their judgment (or lack of) often surprises parents. Their maturity has peaks and valleys, and you want to make sure those valleys have supervision.
Have a great weekend,
