The Prowler

Teachers, Staff, Parents, and Students,

We are proudly on the home stretch with regard to our STAAR Assessments for the 2022-2023 school year. Our final assessment for RHMS students is as follows:

• Tuesday, May 9, 2023-5th-8th Grade Math & Algebra I

On another note...

This week we celebrate our teachers and staff in recognition of Teacher Appreciation Week 2023! We recognize that teachers and staff play a vital role in the lives of our students. They help mold minds and encourage our students to challenge themselves on a daily basis. With all that they do, it's only right that we let our teachers and staff know how much they are appreciated!

A friendly reminder to all our RHMS parents...If you have not yet done so, Mr. Moreno highly encourages all parents to join the Remind App. Information regarding upcoming activities/events, The Prowler newsletter, and other important campus information is shared weekly via Remind. Here are the codes you need by grade level:

5th Grade: Text: @gk3dd3 To: 81010

6th Grade: Text: @mrmorenorh To: 81010

#ThoughtForTheDay...”Sometimes we just need to stop talking and be quiet. Sit in silence and try to get comfortable with the quiet between you and others. See your silence as a form of communication that gives others time to process and respond. #HandleWithCareEDU

“Kids can sound confident, but still have anxiety. Kids can look healthy and feel terrible. They can look happy but be miserable. We need to listen to our students with more than just our ears.” ~Toby Price @ jedipadmaster
