Our first spirit week was such an incredible success—I’ve never seen so many students participate before! From Adam Sandler Day to Anything But a Backpack Day, the creativity, school spirit, and laughter across campus were inspiring. It was a great reminder of how much energy and joy our students bring when they feel connected and engaged.
As we move into next week, things may slow down a little, but there are still plenty of exciting opportunities for students to get involved. We’ll be hosting our first wrestling meet, another cross country competition, an eSports tournament, and even a D&D Movie Night. These events highlight the wide variety of interests and talents our students have, and we’re proud to provide spaces where every student can find a way to belong.
We hope you’ll join us in supporting our Rattlers—whether it’s cheering them on at a sporting event, encouraging them to try something new, or simply celebrating their accomplishments. Together, we’re building a strong, spirited community where every student feels seen and valued.
Have a wonderful week!

Next week will be full of fun and energy with Spirit Week, our home cross country meet, and the Back to School Dance. On top of these events, we also have after-school programs, clubs, and athletics up and running. We encourage every student to get involved—because the more connected you are to school life, the more successful your middle school journey will be.

Can you believe we’ve already been in school for a month? Time is flying by! This week marks the close of our first progress report. For families new to RMS, this means we are halfway through the quarter. If your student has a D or F in any class, they will receive a printed progress report to bring home next week. Remember, Infinite Campus is always the best place to check the most accurate and up-to-date information on your student’s grades and attendance.
We’re also excited to officially kick off our after-school programs this week! From athletics and clubs to intervention programs and enrichment opportunities, our campus will be buzzing with activity. All the details can be found in this week’s newsletter.
Have a wonderful week!
Mrs. Kelly, Principal

We are off to such a fantastic start this year, and your students are a big part of it! If you caught our posts on social media, you probably saw the highlight from last week—students had the chance to dunk their teachers and staff in the dunk tank. It was such a fun way to build connections and kick off the year with energy and school spirit!
As we settle into the first few weeks of school, we want to make sure you’re connected to the tools that help you stay in the loop:
- Infinite Campus is your go-to for academic progress and attendance.
- PBIS Rewards is where you can see your student’s behavior, both positive and areas for growth, while also celebrating the many successes happening on campus.
If you ever have questions about your student’s progress, you can always email their teachers directly or use the Talking Points app for easy communication.
Thank you for partnering with us in your student’s success—we’re looking forward to an amazing year ahead!
Mrs. Kelly, Principal

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!
We’re kicking off the first semester with an amazing lineup of PBIS & Community Events for our students AND parents! 🥳
Get ready for fun, connection, and celebration as we work together to build our school community and cheer on our students for all their positive choices. 💛
🗓 Mark your calendars for our first semester events!
💡 What is PBIS? Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports means we’re focusing on the good — and celebrating it in style!
📣 Stay tuned here for reminders, details, and sneak peeks.
We can’t wait to see YOU there — because when families and schools come together, amazing things happen! 💫
