Greetings Rattler Community,

I can truly say that this has been one of the best starts to a school year I have ever experienced! Our students have impressed me every single day with their kindness, respect, and enthusiasm for learning. Parents—thank you for entrusting us with your amazing children. They are the heart of what makes RMS such a special place.

Last week was such a blast! From Back to School Night to our very first pep rally and spirit day, the energy on campus was incredible. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many students participate in spirit days before—it was inspiring to see our Rattler pride shining so brightly!

I also want to extend a huge thank you to our families for your patience as we navigated a change in our bus pattern due to the water leak in our bus lane. I know it made pick-up and drop-off a little longer than usual, and I truly appreciate your understanding and support as we worked through it together.

Here’s to another amazing week ahead, Rattlers!
