Greetings Rattler Community,
We are excited to share that our after-school programs and clubs are kicking off again this week! These opportunities are a wonderful way for students to receive extra academic support through tutoring and intervention, explore new interests, and stay connected with friends after the school day ends. The best part? It’s not too late for students to join—everyone is welcome!
We are also looking forward to our upcoming Canvas Painting Night hosted by Ms. Calderon this week. This is always a student favorite! Tickets are available through the PBIS store and tend to sell out quickly due to limited space, so be sure to secure a spot as soon as possible.
As always, thank you for continuing to encourage your students to model our RISE character traits each day. Their positive choices help them earn PBIS points and participate in fun activities like this one!
Wishing you and your family a fantastic week ahead—we’re so glad to have you as part of our Rattler community!

Congratulations to Sadie Holland, our 7th-grade Junior Varsity Volleyball standout, on being named Student-Athlete of the Week! 🌟

Greetings Rattler Community,
We had an awesome first week back at RMS! It was so great to welcome students back to campus as we jump into the second semester with renewed energy and focus.
While this is a fresh semester, I always encourage students to approach it the same way—start strong. This is a new opportunity to set goals, build positive habits, and push for strong grades and positive behavior. While the phrase “new year, new you” might sound a little cheesy, the truth is that this new semester gives us a real chance to reset, refocus, and finish the year stronger than ever as we work toward achieving our goals.
Have an amazing week!

Congratulations to our very own Dylan Leon, who was awarded Student Athlete of the Month! Dylan shines as the Boys Volleyball team’s setter, known for his explosive plays and leadership on and off the court. Averaging eight strong attacks per match and leading with dedication, positivity, and sportsmanship, he’s truly the glue of the team.
Dylan also excels academically with a high GPA and is praised by teachers for his maturity and drive. As he prepares for high school, he plans to pursue football, baseball, and eventually a career in sports psychology—all while chasing his dream of playing professional baseball for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Thank you to Victorville Motors for sponsoring this recognition!

Greetings Rattler Community,
Last week, we sent home report cards for students who received a D or F in one or more classes. Don’t worry—it’s not too late to improve! There are still plenty of opportunities for students to raise their grades before the semester ends. We encourage families to check Infinite Campus and reach out to teachers for additional support or information.
This week is our “Stranger Things” Spirit Week, and we’re excited to see everyone bring the energy! We hope students will show off their school spirit by dressing up each day and joining in on the lunch activities. Plus, remember—students can earn PBIS points for participating each day!
Lastly, a friendly reminder that next week is Thanksgiving Break, and there will be no school from November 24–28. We hope everyone enjoys the time off.
Have a great week, Rattlers!
